I wanted this tree to have a cool, frosty sensation. The rising sun sheds a stark light over the gnarled tree. The drawing is made only using line and no shading. The dark areas are made up of fine horizontal lines - giving the image a hallucinogenic translucency. Vertical lines emanate from the tree branches, fighting the gravitational forces that pull it back to Earth.
