Here's what you'll need:
black Sharpie, colored pencils, paper, sharpener. |
Start by drawing a wavy line across the paper like this. Don't make your hills too big.
Make 8 dots along the line. They don't need to be spaced evenly, do it however you like.
From there, start to connect the dots. Don't worry about it being perfect. You can also camp out in certain areas to make them bigger or avoid them to make them smaller, which gives it more of an optical illusion type of effect.
here you can see what the beginning of the design should look similar to. |
Now you can start coloring the sections in. Pick colors that go well together. I chose different shades of browns, reds, and greens for this one, since it was a special request.
When you color in the sections, to give it a more 3D effect, you want to press harder with the pencil in the corners and lighten it as you get towards the middle.
Have fun! :)
That's pretty awesome, I was linked here from r/trees.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, firefox lets me block your little "no you can't right click on my page" dialogue box. I'm not trying to steal any of your content - I just wanted to bookmark it. And I did. Because of firefox.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to do this as soon as I saw it. Hell, I still want to.
ReplyDeleteMy house, however, is completely devoid of any colored pencils or crayons or ANYTHING. And I lack the transportation to go get any.
This sucks. T_T
thank you! due to a lot of positive feedback and requests to buy them, I am going to sell them (mounted on canvas so they can be hung on the wall). If you are interested in purchasing one, email Quirkability@gmail.com with the size you would like and color preference!
