Tree character done with Inkscape

Tree character

Some time ago I thought that doing traditional paintings or drawings and doing digital art with Inkscape are opposite to each other. You can do either the one or the other. I do not think anymore that it is true. The origin of this tree character was a sketch done with pencil and then a gouache painting. But I wanted to go a step further and create a digital piece out of it. I scanned it in, openened it in Inkscape and the result of this doing is what you can see above. It is not a copy, it it something different, but it definitely has its origins in traditional art.
