Greetings
Never having done a sunset picture before I’m not sure if I’m going at it the right way. Anyway, I’m clueless on how to start the ocean part. Would I need a large hard-edged paintbrush or small, or an airbrush?
FYI, she is an elf staring off into the sunset after a long hard day.
As for the rest, I do plan on working more to improve the highlights and shadows. In addition I plan on adding a few more clouds. (Maybe).
Also, I only JUST discovered the power of the “Hard-edged Paintbrush”, up till now I was exclusively an airbrush man. But on this image I decided to try combining the two and this is what I got. Some of you old school pros may see it better than others.
Anywho, any thoughts on the water? Or anything else for that matter?

| Her hair looks very blury. Maybe define some more individual strands with the paintbrush. At the moment it looks like the ships are in a dried up lake. Looks kinda cool. |

The metal of the armor seems a little plastic. Might wanna add some metal looking stuff to make it more believble tot he eye.

I like it ... though the armor could use a bit of shine ...
I feel that the water seems a bit like sand ...
Heres a quick paint over for the water ...

| shading wise excellent, nice colour scheme, but as said earlier, quite a dry lake and the ships look a bit plastic, the armour could do with a little hilites, even if it wasnt sipposed to shine brightly anyway. i know i shouldnt be the one talking, but still. all in all an excellent piccy |

Don't make blue water if your sky is orange. Water isn't blue, its reflective at shallow angles and inherits the color of its sky and surroundings.
Take a look at Fisher to see what I mean. It might also give you an idea for what kind of brush you should use. |
