When i started on the concept of this piece, i started without using any form of reference material which was probably not the best of ideas. However i pushed on with this concept which was the idea of having this mini hideout amidst the mountains in an alien environment.
When looking at this piece of work i could see that there were problems but sometimes it is quite hard in determining exactly what the problem in the image is. I then found this problem to be even more harder as i hadn't actually used any reference.
At this stage i was really struggling to complete the image, so i therefore started looking at other artists to see how i could improve my work. An artists that is really influencing me at the moment is Gary Tonge who can create some fantastic landscape pieces of work. I quickly realised by looking at his work that my own was missing alot of shadow. I therefore incorporated the shadows into my work and actually started adding more details to areas like the sky which i felt was a little bland before.
I feel like the resulting piece of work is a vast improvement in comparison to my earlier image, which is all thanks from the aid of the masters in the industry!
