Surreal Forest Face Illustration
About This Forest Face Illustration
A closer look at the subject, style and details in this image.
An ancient woodland gradually reveals a human face through the arrangement of its ecology. Tangled branches shape one eye, shafts of light break through the distant canopy around the other, and a fallen tree bridges a ravine to form the mouth.
Pen-and-graphite marks give the concept an intricate, engraved look, while its unsettling mood suggests intelligence within nature. The idea suits a literary book cover or a poster built around surreal woodland imagery.
