Mean Trees

[.neko.]

Hey guys, I have finally decided on what I am going to do for my 3 part ISP project in art. I have a serious flaw in my plan though, it revolves around trees with faces and Im completely lost at how to draw a face on a tree that looks good. I need sad trees, angry trees and happy trees and Im willing to put practice into doing it but I don't know where to start. If you guys could suggest anything I would very much appreciate it. Also: If you know any of those old cartoon movies where a merry band of kids wander into a forest only to encounter evil, menacing trees that are "alive" and have such faces that would be totaly hot because I can't think of any.

Well, a quick Google search of "evil tree" brings up some decent results.

Ugh, I had one of those cartoons in mind, but it just slipped my mind. :(

Mm, the first thing I thought of were "Ents" - those tree guys from the Lord of the Rings. They look a bit strange in all the google image search pictures though

there's those moaning trees in that one stage in one of the mortal kombat games, heh. I don't recall what they look like though, just that they had faces.

Mean trees, huh? Have you seen Evil Dead 2? They got some nasty looking things trees there. the money tree and brain tree are good examples of happy and sad as well.

Surprised no-one has said this, but try Snow White. Not sure if they have faces though, its been a bit since I've seen the movie

Hmm, what about just drawing a tree, then a face on it?

Point taken.

Perhaps the main problem is drawing trees in the first place? I had that trouble as well. My tree always look like squiggles with brush glued on.
