Description

Tools: Photoshop CS5, Wacom Tablet
Time:  10 hours approx.

I worked it over the course of three days. Going to print this out at 18x24 along with my last two paintings in a similar style (Jormungandr, Chained Pet) and put them in my room. I don't print/frame my work very often at all, so I'm really looking forward to this. You can check out the drawing phases video on YouTube here .

Very nice indeed you did very very well with your study.  It's impressive.  I do think you might be going over to the saturated colorus a bit too much (but I can't really talk) I just feel this should be a little more desaturated or maybe it's that the sky is to near white...  or white...  my eye is instantly drawn to the vast white sky... this doesn't want to be your main focus point, so try toning the sky down a little maybe a little more over cast and make the view as a whole pop.

Thanks for the detailed critique, I appreciate it! You have some points, the sky does take first glance. It would probably be a bit better to have the middle clouds have darker undersides, and where the water meets the rocks be darker as well, would probably bring more balance to the contrast. I don't think its over saturated though, its just the overcast day like you said, but yeah I'll just try to remember this for the next one I do. I rarely ever go back and make changes after I post things, not sure why honestly. I guess I just like to show my own learning curb over the course of my newest to oldest, lol.

It wasn't very detailed to be honest, it was just some thoughts I had

I don't think you should darken the middle clouds nor where the water meets the rocks.  That seems fine...  I rarely ever go back and change stuff I might put up a version 2.  I find it better to keep up the work I did and the peoples comments so when I look back I know what to do.. if that makes sense..  x
