Using black and white line drawing on a medium value plain would create a great dramatic contrast. High contrast may prove to be important when illustrating tree limbs since they are medium tone naturally, and therefore hard to read -- this can be seen if you've ever taken a B&W photograph of a group of trees on a cloudy day. They practically fade into the background ... most B&W tree or even nature photography depends on dramatic lighting or an extreme difference in background value to properly illustrate the drama of the tree's shape and angles.<br /><br />This artist above takes this value -problem into account contrasting white walls with the darker limbs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8551123959152416005-3935022015951489478?l=treefilm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lauren Turnbullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08535313587552246159noreply@blogger.com0
