using brushes were fun, will definitely do more of these sort of practice.

there is one finished version, with some extra render.

brush study

started to experiment with different brushes based on brachna's tutorials.
hopefully after several pieces I can really know how to use it. it's gonna really take times to master
the using of brushes. good way to widen the mind and to be creative with different brush marks.

this is a half way done study piece.

update

start to try some new technique

update

tried some texture brush on this one, not obvious though
nearly 3 hours

update.

for now it really is the time to push myself to next stage i think.
using texture brushes, details and make a good using of different tools, applying dynamic perspectives in to the image and etc. otherwise i cant see myself making any progress.

tonal concept

havent been doing any characters for a while
so I came up with this one.
this one took more than 2 hours, need to speed up.

cloud study

just figured out that using hard edge brush for cloud is actually pretty good. also keep the opacity 100%, so the contrast will be stronger which will in a way give bit more impact.(probably)
anyway, cant remember how long this one took.
it's just a study.

tonal

everything in one layer is not a very good idea for putting details. need to work on that.

update

need to work on the layer now, even as a speed painting
it's always better to get things organised.
roughly 20 minutes.

this one I tried to spend a little bit more time, around 2 hours

really need to work on the trees, that look actually really bad.
