Trees are layered with different bunches or areas of leaves that receive different amounts of light. To shade this tree, start by dividing the layers into separate areas. To do this, it helps to look at a real tree or a photo of a tree. Break it up with lighter areas where the sun is hitting it and darker areas where the leaves are in more shadow. Follow the leaf lines that you drew above and below the branches as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
