Artist's Comments

Drawn to the description "Before the Dusk Lit Castle Ramparts, A Spacecraft Hovers" Yeh I got it wrong slightly because the castle isn't techinically being lit up by dusk really ¬_¬
45 mins in photoshop. so thats why its pretty crap. Try to improove on speed painting environments without them looking toooo flat and horrible. Let me know how I did. HONEST.
All these images I do seem to involve sunsets, I shall not draw another sunset in a while thats for sure.

Be honest? Hmm. I'm less fond of the grassy bits but I do like the look of the rocks/mountains, that's me own two pee for you.

I'm afraid I don't know what to saw about that bit? It's just (to me) the flattest bit of the picture, the least engaging to my eye. Then again, that may be what you intended, and at any rate it was a speed painting. I'nm sorry I couldn't be more helpful! (and answer comments so sporadically...eep)
But honestly, it's amaxing to me that anyone can wrangle photoshop. I get so frustrated with it that I always end up tossing it in favour of much simpler programmes. Even now I open it for design things and little else...so a painting in it is something impressive to me.

no its cool it's helpful stuff.
the thing with photoshop is you learn more, the more you use it. i'd say look at a few tutorials, practise, you'll get there eventually. I've been teaching myself for 5 odd years, and the best advice I can give is that you learn it at your own pace and on your own terms so you can feel fully comfortable with it. I wasn't using layers for a long while when I first started using photoshop, because I just didn't understand them, i learnt later through tutorials and stuff.
