WIP: The Banyan Tree

For my latest WIP, I decided to try my hand at botanicals, and more specifically, the Banyan Tree. I thought the amazingly gigantic and twisty roots and limbs of this tree would lend itself well to my art style.

The photos below show the artwork in progress over a period of three days. I should hopefully get a more professional photo posted of the artwork posted to my website within the next day or so.
