A few years ago I was asked to do some work illustrating growth and healing. Part of the idea was to show how people develop behavior patterns that can be destructive or constructive and their cyclic nature. For the growth part I turned to nature and came up with the idea of using a tree showing all of it including the roots. The idea is that from strong roots a healthy mature tree can develop with the same holding true for people.

The drawing that this particular tree is based on, wasn’t used and it languished on my hard drive ever since. While looking for some other files I stumbled upon it again and thought that it wouldn’t take much to complete it. A couple of hours later, I finished it.
