Well I hate doing simple landscapes because I'd rather draw someone getting owned by a rocket launcher, but I did one anyways. All in soft, Rembrandt, pastel. That stuff is fun.



If you guys have seen a very similar photograph and are itching to burn me, here's the link to the other image so you don't have to scrounge the net for it.



I modified it enough to where I can't be called a whore I suppose. I really wish I was able to get that really green saturated grass so I could leech of this picture some more, heh heh. I really wish I tried harder to make this picture my own, what a waste. Ah well, tell me what you guys think.

Really well rendered I must say, but, I think u lost some depth with making sunlight in the green grass there with the sun being behind the mountain and all, to me that looks a bit weird.
In the foreground yours looks much better with that more dense grass compared to that reference.

May I ask what size u worked on with this piece?

hope it is ok with the crit, thought I could tell u since u asked.
keep up the good work

definitely a weird thing going on with the light as matthew said.....but super nice all the same.
great work!

After a couple of minutes of trying to figure out what you meant by the sunlight in the picture I found what you were talking about! That was actually supposed to be yellow grass, now that you mention it, it doesn't make sense as to why I did that. It definitely makes it look like some funky angle of sunlight.

The picture was around 15x22, I think.

I agree with dhood. I like the painted one better too. Matthew is right, there is something strange with the light, but still it doesn�t disturb the depth feeling for me. It actually looks deeper to me than the ref, and also the painted look makes look better than the ref. Well done.
