this took longer than expected because in the middle of working on it my tablet suddenly stopped working! I tried to fix it myself but whatever was wrong with it was beyond my skills. So I looked for a repairman in my area and none of them had any Wacom tablet fixing knowledge. so i went to Wacom. They wanted waaay to much to fix ( i could just buy a new one with that kind of money) So i expanded my search and i eventually did find someone who could fix it. in the meantime my brother let me borrow his tablet. so I finally got this done. on to next lesson. Hopefully nothing else happens to me
LESSON NOTES
Start your digital painting by choosing an easy reference and focus on color and process. Begin with compositional thumbnails to arrange shapes pleasingly, adjusting the ratio of ground to sky. Refine your sketch, establish perspective with tools, and block in flat shapes on separate layers. Use temperature contrasts for interest, and add form to elements like clouds and trees. Experiment with colors, refine details, and harmonize the final piece with post-processing effects.

I followed the directions closely, and it helped me understand the process. I struggle with using the model only as information and not sticking to it. I'll try again with another subject :)
