Progress on my entry so far. It's taking bloody ages.

A tip I learnt from looking at paintings over the years is when you paint rocks, use lots of colours. Use blues, greens, browns, purples, or anything else. Try not to restrict yourself to one specific hue or just grey, yunno?

Here are some examples of what I'm talking about. Look closely at the colours they use, you can see the colours pop out. Maybe you could use dark blues in the shade and orange in the highlights. Anything goes really.

I picked out some colours from these pictures, just look at the range of hues.

Just an extra thing; some interesting colour palettes for inspiration (you could even import these images and use the colour dropper on them! :wink:). Notice the use of green and yellow for vegetation over the rocks. If you're doing a forest or something, green/yellow mixed over the rocks can help bring it to life and blend it into the scene better.

Some of these are actually really nice, I might use them myself.

Those are indeed really neat. I feel like I should try to combine this with practicing loose drawing, I have a nasty habit of drawing way too tight. Thanks  again :smile:

Hello folks, and sorry for my absence.

For those concerned I'm not dead and totally am not an impostor who stole SSH's ID and online accounts.

So with nothing to see there, here it goes. Good luck choosing the best, this round was thrice as good as I'm late with this thing:

I'm really stunned by the quality you guys pulled off, honest. Well done.

Poll will be up in a sec, check the page soon if you still don't see it.

Put those votes to work, and beware of conversions!
