Thank you!!! 😍

Loish

hey gioia! yes, i tend to draw each element on a separate layer one by one and then I eventually merge it all when the colors are the way I want them to be!

Dear Loish, this is so beautiful, thank for sharing it. I got lost at some point of the video, do you create a new layer for each element (mountain, shadows, rocks), then lasso tool and then modify hue saturation? I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what it is 😪... Thank you so much for your help 😘

that's a good question! i usually use a mix of references, so i'll get the overall composition from one photo but use a different one for details. and I try to let the reference go and 'wing it' a bit for some parts, using my imagination. In general I try not to make my drawing a 1-on-1 reproduction of the photo unless i took it myself.

I was just curious about what things you consider when using Pinterest and reference photos to make sure they are 'different enough' to use without it being an issue?

I just love the colors! The flow and calming look of the water is wonderful!

hey yousef! i usually approach landscapes by breaking it down into the most basic sections: sky, land (or in this case water), and then any additional elements that have a strong contrast against the land. so here i would look at it as: sky, rocks, water. once i have those basic elements down then i can work in the details. i think going from simple to complex is the best way to approach a detailed piece! you wanna make sure the basic elements work before delving into the details!

haha i hope you find this useful!

sorry, i have no experience in clip studio paint! but i usually use a basic hard round brush, which i'm sure is available there!

I've avoided painting water all my life. I appreciate this xD ❤

This is fantastic. I have a question: Nature tends to be messy and doesn’t follow any rules, but you were able to simplify everything into very basic shapes and minimum colors (even in the smaller details). If it were me there would be so much going on in the reference I wouldn’t even know where to start or I would get carried away and make everything as complex as I see it. How do you approach simplification in these complex situations? How do you “see” the bare components of the such a messy reference? Thanks Loish!

So good!!!!, thank you for the amazing video. I just suggest to add some music, maybe which you play while drawing or your favourite... and subtitle some tricks would be perfect.
