Here is my progress. Any comments appreciated

@aska I think possibly I'm just being a bit slow / blind but I can't see where the footprints are?

aska

@neschof cause there are none Thats a problem. My idea was to make it look like one of the mountains went for a walk but i guess it looks more like river than mountain-prints...

NicolaSchofield

@aska ah, yes, I thought it was a river, I can see now though. Maybe adding a front edge to the nearest footprint would help? Just now it looks like maybe it is a river that flows down a little waterfall.

Hi. I think the footprints need to be defined more. I'm assuming they are the lines in the center going towards the moon. I like the palette you chose, and the luminous light as well. I'm still working on my lighting too, so maybe someone else could help. Would the moonlight wrap or hit the top of the figure's head and outline some of the planes in the mountains? Would it also affect the light the figure is holding?

@neschof @Jennyann thank you for comments how about now?

Hi @aska

Looks good. I like the addition of the cool shadows around the figure. Now, I think you just need some more contrast or dark in some spaces and under things that curve. Lastly some directional light in your piece.

Heres another example. You'res probably looks better. However, I was trying to show or imagine where the mountains would cast their shadows on and around each other, and draw the path towards the center or the moon.

@Jennyann thank you! I kind of gave up on this drawing.. I felt it was not easy to understand my concept. However now with your correction, i should probably come back to it, so your time is not wasted

No Problem, I'm happy it helped.
