Description Sorry for the lame title. No idea, but will edit it as soon as i got an idea of what to write it in XD;;

Old pic, decided to color it. Well.. not exactly old but i've had the sketch of it for quite some time. Bweehh first time drawing Shanks and it suuuuuckkks. I'm getting good (rather) on doing different styles of skies and the sea, but god forbids it, the stupid grass and trees are still out of my range o___o does anyone know any good tutorial on doing grass and trees? No i don't want the type where you can cheaply do it with a photoshop filter. The effect aren't as much as doing it manually.

Just a simple one, lazing by a lone tree up a cliff. The swing there are actually not for swinging, just for hanging around. God knows how much Luffy loves to hang around anything (trees, the ship's bow, etc etc). No wonder his name is Monkey D Luffy lol. Energetic lil chap. Probably before the event where Shanks lose his left arm. Lol yeah the one who is hiding behind there is Ace. Pretty much Ace is never been shown in the manga before, and i doubt that Oda did planned to do him at the beginning. Ace might be some random guy he invented one day.

Colored fully in OC,meh. Yep it's a slobbery coloring XD;; The shadings... so wrong.. SO wrong >__<;; bah.

Ooooh... I don't think Shanks looks abd in this pic at all.... *happy grin* He's one of mah faves, actually. Him and Zoro >_> *thwaps self* Stop picking secondary characters! Especially not the ones with physical disabilities!

Anyway, awesome pic, and I liek the 'mysterious' Ace dude... Sorry, no clue on any good tutorials for grass.

I really like the vivid, crystal clear pretty colors you used for the sky and the ocean. ^_^ They're so pretty! You should try to do a sunset if you haven't already! This is a nice picture. ^^

Sorry, but I don't know any tutorials on trees and grass. (maybe cuz I'm too lazy to really use a tutorial anyway xD)

One thing that I think would help this picture for you had added more detail in the leaves, like an outline (but not all the leaves need to be outlined, just the closers ones that need it) , instead of just coloring it in. It would help seperate from the bg, and have more of an outline like everything else that's near the font of the picture. Or you could add apples or something that have an outline in it. Something just to make the leaves more defined.
All of this is easier said than done though. Over all this picture still kicks butt!

If you just improve the leaves on the tree, I think the whole picture would come out much better!

I hope you get some good trees and grass tutorials! ^_^ You'll get it down sooner or later.
