Hi, my name is Bartek and I'm beginner digital artist. I'm using Photoshop for 5 or 6 years, mainly for my personal projects and photo manipulations. I bought a graphic pad 7 months ago. Also from that time I began to learn how to draw and what are art fundamentals. My mains knowledge sources are 3D total books ( Art Fundamentals, Digital art master and soon Digital painting technique volume 8 & 6 ) and YouTube videos. Here I want to share my progress. And my plan is to post one finish work per week. So I hope that someone will enjoy my work and maybe can share some knowledge with me.
Peace

Nice thumbnail. It's pretty simplistic, but I like the little hints of architecture and human occupation. consider making the glass dome though of the canopy a bit more rounded or sharp. Right now it's sort of in between and comes across as a bit unnatural. (I'm talking about where the dome meets the building, not where the dome meets the sky/background.) You could also use a little more fog/atmosphere/light from the crevice between the foreground pointed stone and the lower stone background that the building is built on top of, to give it a further depth.

I absolutely love your rocks though! And the whole composition, although simple, carries with it everything it needs. You'll do fine here :smile:

Hey, thanks for replay :smiley: I will certainly try to use this fog/atmosphere/light trick, depth is a little problematic to me. Also I see now that unnatural glass effect, so really thanks for advices. I hope that you will like my next works too :grin:

I love the atmospheric fog on these

Where is the lighting coming from? The lighting on all the rest of the rocks/mountains don't feel as though it matches the spotlight's source.

Well, you are right. I wanted to draw something with very cloudy sky but whole image was too dark, so I added this light beam at the end. Overall, while working on this project I didn't think too much about lighting.

Nice stuff in here!

If I could give one critique, it would be I think your darks tend to be just a bit too dark.

Just my two cents! Keep up the hard work man!
