@Jason-Crowley Really beautiful work, Jason. You have been busy! This is very inspiring for me, and a great reminder to get copying.
I was so pleased to read that you feel you've "almost got my technique and brushes set." That's a wonderful place to be!

I completely agree master studies are so helpful not only for improving your art but they're also help you to find and shape your own style.

It's nowhere near the beauty of the original but I wonder if you can guess the og artist

@evka8D Your copy was close enough for Google image search to provide a link to: "Primrose at the entrance to the tunnels metal print by Brambly Hedge. "

@thomas-young Oh yeah you're right Google sure has gotten better than it used to be but it kinda ruins fun of these games heh

@davidhohn Well done! I like the original's geometry look and your interpretation of the gradient and texture

Finally it's finished it legit took me 2+ months to finish this study since I first started Time to move on to another artist.

Looking good @Jason-Crowley !!

I think master copies leveled up my art significantly.

Here’s a thread I created and probably need to add more to.

@evka8D Such a favourite of mine, you did a beautiful job!

@Jeremy-Ross Oh wow you've really put in the work! Well done. I'm glad that I learned about master copies from 3PP, I think it nets people almost immediate substantial improvements, depending on their initial foundations.

I've only been doing parts of the original artwork as values only rather than the full artwork, just to try and understand the general technique. Once I feel satisfied that I've figured out that I can replicate the general technique, I then document the process of brushes, layers, adjustments, so I can refer back to it later, as I'm constantly reshuffling my core brushes around.

I think I'll eventually create a user manual for myself to follow, as I sometimes forget important shortcuts and steps.

Good plan @Jason-Crowley !
