Description
An attempt at a Plateosaurus sleeping in the sunlight of a Triassic forest, with its head resting on some mossy rocks. Still trying to correct the ridiculous imbalance between my abilities with just organisms by themselves, and scenes/landscapes. I think this is definitely an improvement from the last forest scene I did , but there's such a long way to go. I'm continually trying to adjust things like my strategy and process, because the way I'm currently doing it doesn't seem to mesh with my usual process. I'm a "drawer" more than a painter, so I might try to go for a more detailed, yet less "busy" compositional style like that of the master, Doug Henderson. The other issue is I keep being way too ambitious, when I should probably start with simple, almost minimalist compositions and environments. Maybe something with only 1 big tree in it, as opposed to a lush and dense Triassic jungle. We'll see. Comment some concrete advice on doing scenes/landscapes if you have any!
