      I also think there should be a feather on the ground next to/held by the person/dog ^_^

      Also, i don't know if its just me, but the Mountains look too smooth to be mountains(?)

      The Orange/blue wip is beautiful and very eye catching! And when i see the silhouette i think of a Phoenix!

      The other wip is (again very beautiful) calm and serene, i think i prefer this one.

      Find me on Facebook and instagram under NizhoniWolf, for my sketches, musings and W.I.P's!

        @heather-boyd It does look pretty cool 🙂 There's a local person who does paintings using these kinds of simple super saturated colours on landscapes and they look awesome and other worldly.

          @inkandspatter Oh, lots more details to add 🙂 There's lots of lines to lose and find, textures to bring out, and lots of kind of pushing and pulling.

            @chip-valecek Thanks, Chip 🙂 I might try the little feather in the person's hand, but I'm gonna try and push the giant feathers back with some atmospheric perspective first.

              @kathrynadebayo Thanks so much! I get a little better every challenge. I think you're right about that second feather. Movin' its shadow's an easy thing to do, thankfully 🙂

                  @braden-hallett Very cool image. I'm particularly loving the way you've rendered the clouds.

                    @johanna-kim Thanks 🙂 Clouds are one of my favourite things to render. So floofy...

                      Yet more paint. I really liked the idea of having an object to better show scale, but I wasn't completely sold on the feather (not a bad idea at all, though) so I figured a lone tree and local forest denizen might work.

                      Slowly fixing, pushing and pulling from here on out.

                      I may remove the chipmunk...

                                It took me a few seconds to see the giant bird's shadow, but once I had I really fell in love with this piece. Really nice concept and great execution. Look forward to seeing the finished artwork

                                  @rotub As long as it gets gotten gradually I'm gleeful 🙂

                                  It's almost completely finished at this point. I just need to spend a few hours her and there kinda fiddling if you get what I mean.

                                    WELP, I didn't like it, so I restarted.

                                    Though my work's often 'okay' and the colours seem to work most of the time, it's always a struggle and it's never quite what I want.

                                    So I tried changing my process. Much looser value study, and several colour comps which I then blew up and did linework over.

                                    Usually I do a sort of value study with finished lineart and very polished values and it's too easy to get lost in the details.

                                    I'll let it sit for a few days and choose which one to finish at that point 🙂

                                      You crack me up! I just love you dedication to exploration and learning.
                                      I did love your original, but seeing these new ones your foreground elements are so much stronger, especially the character of the dog and boy. Kudos!
                                      It's amazing how never ending this whole process can be.

                                        @braden-hallett Wow, I was shocked when you said you restarted, but the new one reads much better! I also prefer the colours in the new one.

                                          I like the changed in the clouds, definitely looks better I totally get the need to restart. I’ve had a tough time figuring out the right balance of linework and picking color with my style. Iz not easy lots of pieces and this struggle makes the art way better at the end. Dont forget to trust yourself 🙂

                                            It's always fun when it turns out your 'final' piece is actually the rough draft 🙂 Kind of a lot like writing, actually...
