I went to Snowdonia for a few days last week, here's a landscape picture i've drawn
from the scenery there. It was made by drawing from loads photographs I took while I was there.

One thing pops out at me I thought I'd mention.
On the left there are some mountains in the far background, but in the spaces between the mountains on the right, we see none at that same distance. Just makes it seem a bit void to me, like someone detonated a 9000000000 megaton nuke back there and annihalated the mountain range

.
Maybe filling in those spaces with far off mountains like on the right will work well?
Just a though.

Thanks the RealT! I have looked at what you mean and you are dead right, I've even looked at the photo that that part was based on and there are mountains there as well.

It looks very nice, my only comment is its not raining. It always rains, I know that as I can see it out of my bedroom window :)

oh yes, and theres no sheep. When drawing welsh landscape you always need to fit in a sheep somewhere!

Thanks Frankie, I think I must have been very lucky with the weather. It was about 16 degrees last weekend 6/7th April and sunny all weekend. What a great view you must have from your window !

I expect I don't appricate it as much as I should because I have woken upto it almost every day of my life! I expect when I manage to find a job and leave home that the view will be missed

BTW how heavy were Carol Vorderman's vegetables?
