Description
I think, this is a first time when I drew an actual place ( for reference I used this [link] ). There are mounds situated in Kernavė, a little city of Lithuania. Anyway, I drew this pic because of my parents requested to draw some place from homeland. Reason - a contest (?) "Po tėvynės dangum" (english translation: "under the motherland's sky"). I quite enjoyed working with this pic, but in the end result is... a sore thumb and a wish not to have any business with green for a while
.Somehow, scaner doesn't cope with watercolour pencils and hardly do with woodless ones

Hahaha, I know what you meen. I been there a few times. It's pretty refreshing and pleasant to climb those hills. From them you can admire nature. You can even catch a lizard there

Wow, you have a real talent for drawing scenery! I love the expansive look this gives off, with the different levels in the hills, and the way the details get sharper in the foreground. Great job with the colouring, too! Your green pencils must surely have had a work-out with this.
I hope you do well in the contest.

ah, such a nice atmosphere you got here. It's really nice and I see you had more patience with this one.
If you want to scape from green, there are plenty of options: desert, city, ocean, universe, autum, winter. (those are the ones I recall right now

Well, I had to. It was Mom's and Dad's request

This is very good. I love the black outlines being kept very thin and small. The shades of green are very appealing and pleasant, but the scanner has darkened a lot of areas.

Thank you (I used black gel ballpoint pen for lines) and...Yup, scaner sure likes to do unnecessary changes

It's difficult to perfect with a scanner. But it's always nice to see hand drawn art.
Did you win the contest?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, the contest starts at February 16. Why so soon I did this entry? Reason - I had to draw one now, because soon my studies continue and I won't have time then). About winning... My mom is pretty confident that I could win

Well if I was a judge, and if I was judging it based on how well one draws a location, then perhaps it may be best to either try somewhere familiar to the judges, or capture something with emotion, a subject like an animal... or something with an implicit message. I sometimes find genericness can be uninspiring.

Wow, thanks for this comment. It gives a lot of thoughts to ponder upon. Maybe later I try to do a more interresting entry (if I have time)

Don't put pressure on yourself if you like what you've already done.

Naw, I'm not putting any pressure on myself. I just have some ideas on prompt, which I usually go on doing quite some time after

Let your imagination ponder over ideas, it's how they can grow.
