Forrestry and Inking

I had some fun inking some stills of tropical Southeast Asian forests. I really enjoyed it and I want to get better at it. I did most of them with my brushes

The first saw some experimentation on my part on smudging my inks. The result is kind of shit but I'm learning and I have some things to study too so it isn't so bad. I'm proudest of the second to the last pic, it's easily the most interesting and unique one of them all. I'd like to do more of those. I need to be more naturally abstract with the other patterns and textures, chunky forms of mostly symmetrical shapes aren't going to help my desire to show the inconsistencies and beautiful chaos of nature and its totality.

There's this too. It's just more fun with the marker and I absolutely love it. I'm trying to me looser with my inks now and not being so anal about super precision, as long as it's relatively thin and I can do the abstract lines and forms easy with the fatter brushes and the marker,  I'm freakin happy.
