I've been asked a few times lately whether I'll be adding any more colourful 'mentor tree' artworks to my shop. I initially thought.. well that won't work as the names would not be visible enough within the foliage if it were too bright but then the idea of a lemon tree came to mind with names sitting on each fruit.
This was my first proper forray into drawing on a digital drawing tablet, rather than using traditional watercolour and pen & ink on paper and I have to say that I think this is the way forward. Each lemon is a separate layer and so the layout can be moved around easily according to the number of names being included. Very flexible and lots of fun to create.
Orange tree to follow...
