Hey everyone, I'm a beginner so any comments, critiques, criticisms or advice is genuinely appreciated. I do not know any artists in my area so I always feel a little lost when it comes to art. So don't be shy!
Here is a photo study I'm working on now. I'm at the stage now where I really struggle to keep working because I don't know exactly how to do really detailed things like the rocks on the bottom right, or the foreground stuff.
Do I zoom in really close and try to do it exactly? Is there some brush that I need to be using? I did most of this with a chalk brush (first time I've used one before) which looked really nice at first but over time it didn't really give me the results I wanted so I switched to a round brush.
I've attached what i'm working on now and the reference image.
Any advice would be much appreciated! I am a beginner who does not really know any artists irl so even really basic stuff would be valuable to me.
