Inspired by the awesome art of Nathan Fowkes. The first two is based on one of his paintings where he explained the structure of rocky environments and how you can spot a pattern and structure in it. It helped me tons.

The rest is just color studies where the color schemes are based on some of his tiny tiny thumbnails that you can find on his blog.

My favourite is the red one, since I more or less only used red and orange here; the rocks are actually plain gray paint. But the contrast to the warm surroundings makes them appear much cooler.

My personal favorites of this batch are the grayscale ones on the top row.

Aww yess!! I am working on value painting and I am seeing a lot of things I previously missed. I have tried to apply it to color studies, still no good results but I'm still trying. I will most definitely keep trying.

one way to check your values while coloring is to (if you use photoshop) create a new layer above your painting, fill it with black and set it to "saturation". This will turn the painting to grayscale when the layer is visible. It's a bit more effective than having to go via the Edit-menu. It's a great way to check your values and see if it looks as dynamic and cool in grayscale as it do in color.

Thank you :) I have another question though. I use gimp and for the light of me I can never get bright colors using the overlay layer. It always comes out dull. I'm not sure if it's gimp or that I naturally mute out lots of colors. I can give you some examples.

I cannot help you on that. I've never even used Gimp so it's better to ask someone who is familiar with the software.

Okay thanks. I'll ask someone on it. I thought that maybe I had to create an overlay layer but it didn't work out to well.

This inspired me so I started painting from your images. I got impatient though but atleast it got me drawing again after not wanting to for months. I will check out Nathan Fowkes.

don't use my images as references. You'll maybe copy my flaws and mistakes. I used Nathan Fowkes as reference, so you should do the same.

I didn't trace them, I used the inspirations that I got from them, to paint from influences. I looked at Nathan Fowkes but it did not inspire me like your images. I don't know why, I guess it is something in your drawing that is different. I don't put work like this on the internet or anything.
