Ola people,

Today I've taken my aurbrush and had some fun.
About the grass I'll be short. I like it! It has the color I wanted to have it. When it's dry, I'll drybrush it with some lighter green. It will become good!!!
The bark (?) of the tree will be handbrushed again. I'm not satisfied with that.
About the leafs I don't know what to think. It looks so green. And actually it has only 2 colors of green in it and 1 black, grey and brown.
Someone who got a suggestion for this problem?

the pictures:

Nice lookin' seen you've got there Wesley. I like the overal look of it. A few little nitpicks tough.

I liked your grass better when it wasn't painted yet. It looks to uniform know. What i think is weird to, you painted the green first. Shouldn't you have painted the brown and sand colors first?(to replicate the ground under the grass and to give it some depth?) I can see some white trough the green.
Try darkening the bark a little.

My 2 cents,

cheerz Q!

Q,

I've decided to do a real dark and heavy dark brown wash on the grass. The bark has got to redone.

But this all is for next week. Too little time right now Or I got to work at night again.

The whole tree looks great! I personally think you did a good job on the color of the tree bark... like what Quinten said about the grass though, maybe try spraying another layer of earth brown + dark yellow like what you suggested! Go for it!
