First landscape painted in photoshop, please critique

reply to post by HomerinNC


composition is lacking, no focus , not enough definition, nor enough contrast. you need a focal point. even in landscapes there is a subject.

what emotions or ideas are you trying to get across. way to much sky try cutting some out and lowering clouds, you have trees darker infront of trees that should be darker
i could really hack it to pieces , but because its photoshop, you are not in art school (that i know of) i wont ^^

I think that there is room for improving the details you put into the trees, the mountains are pretty much perfect, and the clouds could be made fluffier (like you did on the outside of parts of them). These are my suggestions on things you could work on (it's always good to know that!), it's a great start and better than I could do.

Thanks for your critique, I'm not in art school, just starting out doing landscapes, wasn't trying to do anything but attempt a landscape, eventually I want to do fantasy landscapes, like alien ruins and such.
The mountains are a ps brush, haven't been able to draw them myself
Does anyone suggest a good computer program (free lol) I can use to do computer art?

Here are 2 others I've done

this landscape is nice ^^ more depth and contrast

Nice work Homer, you got me motivated to do more!!!

Keep at it, i like spreading out the paint and using the smudge tool to blend it all together...
