Description So this was me experimenting with airbrushing and colours.
I thought it'd be cool to try get as many colours as a could into a piece without it looking stupid.
And it's quite different from all the cartoony stuff i've been drawing for work ^^

Enjoy!

Original size: 7111 x 4000 pixels, 300 dpi = why, yes it did give my computer a heart attack every time I saved...

This is absolutely astounding, the way the warm colors merge with blue and the light reflecting off the clouds? are positively beautiful. Two thumbs up, all the way!

they look great, I make it a habit not to lie to people so if they looked like jelly I would have definetly let you know! It looks so much like the gateway to heaven or something, is that what you were trying to do?

Awwwww hahaha thank you so much! ^^ for your comment and your work praise

Yeah, i'm still trying to get my head around it. I know it's a clichΓ©, but it takes a lot of practice haha

Ummm... i guess some hints i can think of now.. umm. When you first start your magical cloudy skyscape thing, i usually start with a gradient, going from one light colour you like to another, darker colour you like. So in this case, it was originally light pink -> dark blue. The light pink became orange and red, but the dark blue gives it some perspective and depth, from light to dark ^^ The original ideas don't always stay to the final outcome. Just go with what you like along the way

Another thing you might find useful is it start small with this kinda thing. Like, i found when i'd start a big picture, there'd be so much white on the screen, i'd always feel like i had to fill it up, and that'd mean i would lose detail and prettiness because i'm trying to fill up the space. So i'd suggest just starting with like.. 1024x800 kinda thing. And practice airbrushing things, like rocks, mushrooms, etc. Because any practice is good practice I found airbrushing REALLY hard to get my head around.

Oh! And don't be afraid to use references and tutorials I used to feel like using references was cheating, but it's not ^^ Don't be afraid to experiment Art is creativity, so do whatever you want And PLEASE don't get demoralised and feel stink when you make something that doesn't turn out the way you want. I've got into the habit of only uploading the pictures of mine that turn out well. But my computer has HEAPS of ones that epically failed hahaha i think i upload about 1 of every 8 pictures i start seriously. It's all a learning process ^^

Heck, my gallery's got stuff from way back when i was still playing around with drawing stuff. So feel free to skip through if you wanna And i should get around to making a tutorial of skyscape-y whatever-this-picture-is, just for you ^^ hahaha

Sorry if this is super overkill but i had a skim through your gallery; and you has heaps of potential! I'm really proud of you ^^ And you don't have to reply to this. I know it's pretty long ;;

Oh, and welcome to Deviant Art! We have pretty pictures here ^^ hahaha

Thanks for your time, and for the watch, and for loving my work It's people like you who inspire me to make more ^^ Thank you!!!
