"What do you think, Angel? It might be over there!"-----
I'm finally off school! But now I have a job! Here's a painting I completed in the off time between the two
Funny story about this one. I had spent an evening working on this painting, when suddenly my tablet stopped working. I figured it only needed a restart so I started saving the painting and pressed the hardware reset button. Oops ... needless to say the PSD file was completely corrupted. I opened it in a hex editor and there were patches of zeros that ran for hundreds of lines. Thankfully, I had an old export I was able to paint over; Fluttershy and most of the environment was saved. It was certainly depressing repainting work I had already completed, though! Let that be a lesson to everyone to save often, and save multiple copies!
Ah well. I think it came out pretty darn well despite all the issues I had with it
(Tablet still works, thankfully, the restart fixed something!)
Enjoy!

I know. Scenery is pretty darn difficult. However, a lot of it comes down to just persevering through the trash. I spent around 30 minutes in the beginning just throwing random colors on the canvas, eventually I settled on the colors you see now. After that it's all about rendering out all the objects in the scene. I spent a lot of time looking at the painting in a Black and White filter to identify places where I needed to add more contrast. This is called checking your values. Making something darker, or adding highlights really helps to make things stand out, and make them feel more tangible.
Beyond specific pieces of advice, you really just need to practice. Throw some colors around, play with different scenes, learn from other pieces of art and especially the outside world. Hopefully something I've said helps! Keep on going!
