Description Yesterday I was considering on scraping this mid-progress, but I'm glad I stuck with if and finished it. Getting the right contrast and color was very hard (I'm not sure if it right but whatever).

aaaa I've been away, so I didn't see this earlier. holy shit

The color balance is gorgeous It's good you didn't scrap this ^^
I do miss something in the foreground though - as the BG seems painted while the character stands out with the black line art. It would be a lot better you could have repeated that somehow. I won't say that Alexis doesn't belong, but I would make the image more complete, if you get what I'm trying to say

I understand what you mean

It's a lot easier for me to do detail bg without lines but the opposite for characters.

yea, I can totally relate xD Β but I decide beforehand to do one or the other, as it makes the image appear more planned.
Having more line art closer to the viewer giver more depth if you insist on using lines for the character.

This looks amazing the colours are very good and contrast well against eachother


The only thing I would have changed would have been to maybe draw the grass in different directions as it looks a bit repetitive but other than that it's really amazingΒ

Agree, the grass does look stale.

Β  it's really good though I wish I could draw backgrounds like that , but I struggle to get ideas for them and also make them look good

Something doesn't come out of nothing, it requires inspiration, reference and precedent. I was about to give upon this because half way through it didn't look as good as I hoped, but I stayed with if and it turn out okay.

I got the idea from two pictures, a colorful sunset and a scenic lake valley, and that's what inspired this pic.

Start with cartoony BGs, lines and so on, not too detailed. That's pretty much how I started.

First digital scenic bg.

No, and I don't have FaceBook either. Pretty much DA is the only social media site I'm on. Though, I do have a pivix account, but that's so I can see art on it.
