Hey again! Yesterday I decided to paint some rocks. I've been messing around with building scenes lately, but I struggle a lot with anything that isnt characters.
So I looked at some videos about painting rocks traditionally, and I then I painted these ones.. I started with the gradient and I wanted the scene to look somewhat sunset-lit, with complementary colors. I really like the result, It looked kinda crappy for a long time until I started playing with hard/soft edges on the rock shapes, which improved it a lot! I also used a bunch of overlay layers and stuff like that.. which I normally avoid, but it really kinda helps me out.. and if its there, why not use it at the end?
Crits are very welcome! Thanks for looking!
