    Three common ways to doing bark regarding fr:
    1. Scale-like bark, size could vary. These look like scales, also note these don't always have to overlap one another
    2. Vertical-line bark, lines going down the tree to make up the bark.
    3. Horizontal-like bark, lines going across the trunk of the tree to make up the bark.
    Use references, if your basing these trees off of snow capped, I'd say don't base your bark off it.

    JacobCahoon your tree looks good, I would suggest adding more branches coming from the front of the tree, not just sides. It's hard, but it looks a lot better when branches are coming from all sides. Adding more stray branches would make it look more natural.

    I don't think this would be too hard, the shapes aren't too complicated and would mostly be a lot of muscle memory.
    Could be a cool track for wheelie's competitive contest.

    Muscle memory? Maybe if you draw it with your eyes closed?

    But I think that scene would bore me to draw, too much repetition.

    Uhhh does muscle memory not make sense in that context—whatever I just meant after you get the gist of doing one of those weird hills you don't need any more references because you're probably already familiar and accustomed to its shape.

    Muscle memory is most useful in a situation where you aren't seeing what you're doing - like dribbling a basketball or lifting weights. In drawing learning motor patterns isn't really useful unless you're planning on drawing with your eyes shut. Idk if you're describing muscle memory or something else.

    Not necessarily true. For example, take handwriting for example. Do you think of how you write each letter, and then focus on drawing it properly, or does your hand just go off and write it without much thought? However, if you write with your eyes closed, your writing becomes messy and can sometimes trial out of the lines on the paper. Muscle memory doesn't necessarily have to be something you know how to do with your eyes closed, it just is something a muscle becomes accustomed to due to repeating the motion so many times.

    As defined by Google:
    1. Muscle memory is not a memory stored in your muscles, of course, but memories stored in your brain that are much like a cache of frequently enacted tasks for your muscles.

    I guess you can say I get carried away sometimes as well. In no way am I trying to be condescending, just discussing in a friendly manor. :D

    None of that is against what I said. I think the example you used was a bit off though, muscle memory makes writing with your eyes closed possible, even easy, the fact the words may trail off in the wrong direction isn't really a knock against muscle memory at all.

    Fair enough. What I was mainly trying to say was that muscle memory isn't about doing things with your eyes closed, but doing things without having to focus on how to do them (if that made any sense). I think what Maple was trying to say is that doing that type of scene would become boring due to having to repeat the same patterns over and over again (which isn't necessarily muscle memory, but I can see his connection to the term).
