Donate Life

For my Donate Life Project I decided to draw the tree of life growing on a heart to help portray my quote "Continue to help Someone Grow when you are Gone". I chose to do this design because I've always liked the way the tree of life is shown and I thought it would go nicely with the Donate Life project because it shows that when you pass on your giving someone else the chance of life.

For this artwork I used charcoal and a kneaded eraser.

At first I was gonna do watercolor for the tree of life to add color and just use charcoal for the heart but I was worried the watercolor would make a mess of the charcoal or the charcoal would make a mess of the watercolor, so I decided against it. I think I could've done a better job with the background so it didn't look so streaky but I had a hard time blending the charcoal out for some reason.
