Well I'm trying to work on more arts that take me out of the circles of same thing over and over again, this will be different "styles", I'm not worried about it making me not be unique because no matter what I do somehow everyone can tell it's me.

So I'mma have fun!

Day 1:
Here's my first attempt at something, I just started in one corner of a 1600X1200 and almost filled it with an image, I cropped it down and worked in a smaller image until I got this. No sketch just being free with it!
I wanted to do this in MyPaint but since MyPaint won't open I tried to get GIMP to act like MyPaint, which it didn't exactly but I learned some stuffs trying to compromise. xD



I actually applied some things I learned from watching Bob Ross paint, although mine is quite noob compared to his oils but oh well. xD

Part 2 of Day 1:

I made this beach scape! Once again no sketch just as I went along, I was gong to make a palm tree but I gave up with that and did a starfish instead.

I'm noob with water and the sun looking like the sun soooo....
It's not meant to look real but I do want it to look like sand and stuff...



Enjoy!

CnC always welcomed!

Hey, it's Merrak the second! That is really lovely Moko and totally different to your usual style.

I was looking at it and thought it looked kinda like his early works but I dare not compare myself...!
Instead I let you.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! xDD




I do too, when I was little I had this weird obsession with hills always drawing them, or have 2 trees on a hill and a person in a hammock. - Looking back those looked so terrible.

You achieved your aim. I adore the colours in this one.

Yay!

I like, I like... I love the little foot prints in the sand too. Is that a brush?

I drew 1 paw then used the perspective tool to make it in that angle then copied the paw and used as a brush.

Well, they look OK. The mist effect on the mountains is a nice touch .

Some tips though:

>Paint the shaded side of the mountain darker but not black. It should not be totally in the dark because it should still be illuminated by the sky and the clouds. You can paint the shaded side bluish because the sky emmits bluish light.

>Make the sun smaller. Your sun is way, way big. It looks allien. The real would not show that big.

>The birds flying on your mountain painting should be worked some more. They don't look very much part of the picture here being of different style (stick figures) and lack of substance. And there should be less of them one or two is enough or you can remove them completely. Don't really need to have birds in the sky when you paint mountains.

About your style, one thing I noticed is that you use colors in full saturation. I pick a color from your work and the color whould be at the very top of the color selection dialog. Your color choice is quite consistent in your work. It is not exactly bad but it seems to me that you might be limiting yourself too much by using only those colors, there is a lot of colors below them that you missed. You might like to try those more muted colors next time and see how they work.

Try painting in monochromatic. That is paint using only one color. Only change the value and saturation of the color.
