JANUARY CONTEST: YETI HOME

I wasn't sure if I was going to have time this month, but I found some extra hours over the weekend to get started and powered through it! Check out Roary's pad!

@donnamakesart Ohhh this is quite nice. I really like where the shadow tone transitions from the house to the floor is a really cool effect of snow that you don't notice as much until you're drawing it

@DaveLeekArt Solid! I really need to work on simplifying trees... I feel like I get caught in the weeds on detailing trees, then I see how other people draw trees and can't help but feel like I'm wasting a bunch of time lol

DaveLeekArt

@jdubz ahh this is such a unique idea! I love it. Well done.

Thanks @jdubz , I’ve been working to do the same! You learn early on that rookies overdo the details and pros make it look detailed through expertly placed simplicity. I’m trying to get closer to that end of the spectrum and the trees in this piece were an experiment. I’m glad to hear someone likes how they turned out! Haha

@Georgios-Christopoulos @rubeda @DaveLeekArt Thanks, appreciate the kind words!

@jdubz thanks jdubz! Yes. I learned so much from doing this challenge haha. PS: love the Rory pad concept. So modern!

@DaveLeekArt I've been thinking alot about that whole process of going overboard only to pull everything back. It kind of feels like the way that you simplify your process seems to define your style. I keep going through how to simplify what I'm doing, and I still feel like I'm in the weeds a lot
