Dark Woods

The Dark Woods is where pretty much the entirety of Bulby Book 1 takes place. It's a very grim environment where the trees completely blot out light and literally leeches out all colour (hence the name). It's littered with junk and the trees practically merge with industrial waste. So it's not just forestry. It's extremely important that I get the mood right in the medium and technique I portray it. Unfortunately while I'm confident with creating darker imagery esp with ink, I haven't yet been able to come up with imagery that I feel accurately expresses the despairing atmosphere of Dark Woods while also fitting around my characters. So i'll be doing a lot of experimenting with the medium I use and looking at other artists I find give a tone that reminds me of what I'm looking for.
