Description wanted to do something "huge" as i´ve noticed my art tends to focus excessively on small places.
and wanted to practice clouds... where i live they sometimes take really bizarre shapes, but today the looked that generic (as well as the blue sky, i love when it´s grey), so yeah. and yes, this looks like a cheap Patagonian steppe.
the concept is kinda inspired by , she tends to draw things like this

meanwhile, i am working on comissions. the ones for amd are in progress

EDIT: make the clouds more noticeable, as some suggested. don´t quite fixed, still

Great perspective, and the clouds look interesting. This would make really good computer desktop wallpaper!

Hala menos mal que pusiste lo del edit, ya crei que había tenido un dejavú!!

Me gusta el nivel de detalle de la tierra a pesar de lo lejano que se ve las nubes se ven bastante bien (no recuerdo como era el otro)

My drawings never seem to focus on one thing. I wish they did.
But nice job, I like how the sky takes up a good amount of the picture, and the itty bitty city pushed off to the side.

Also, try to make the clouds less blurry, some people are saying it looks like you used a bigger brush, I thought it looked like you used the blur tool. The clouds far off the the bottom right are great, but not so much on the big 'uns.

I love generic clouds, they're fun to draw and easy to characterize :>

I really like the colors and the shapes of the clouds
Only critique is that the clouds that appear closer, the bigger ones, is less detalied than some of those in the back.

I think you should have a quick look at `AquaSixio s tutorials, he does nice clouds, and you could pick up some other great tips too ^^
Also *ShadowUmbre might be worth checking out.

So beautiful! The colours you've used are great; they really portray that 'happy summers day' theme! XD <3

Also, the little details on those buildings are lovely <3

Aw, I'd love seeing more backgrounds from you.

Critique-wise, it's noticeable that you used larger brush for clouds than the scenery. It's okay for clouds but I think the picture would look more constant if you add *some* small strokes on clouds too.

Your bgs are always so realistic and impressive. I love the "generic" cloud shapes and the overall scenery<3
