You pronounced my name right in the video! :D thank you so much for reviewing my work, I learned so much from doing this challenge!
Hello, here are my 5 submissions! As a character artist, this challenge helped me conquer my fear of landscape painting haha. I was able to really push the way I see values, hue shifts, and big masses. Simplifying rocks into simple shapes was pretty challenging and seeing the subtle hue shifts in skies and foliage was tricky as well but I tried my best to apply all of Tiffanie’s tips.
I added some imagination on top of some references. In thumbnail #2 for example, I thought it would be nice to “lower” the background trees a bit and make the sky more visible.
The software I used is Photoshop. My main tools were selection tools (marquee & lasso), smudge tool, full opacity round brush, as well as a chalky brush for initial blocking and big swooping motions.
Reference pictures are all from my home country Morocco. I hope you like my work, thank you! :)
