This was a 5 minute speed paint for showing my son how to create clouds and water.

I used the GIMP standard brush called "smoke" for creating the clouds, and a brush from a brush pack called "Odysee" for creating the water structure.

Been feeling super uninspired and unmotivated lately.

It's always suspicious when I start liking a picture too early on in the process. I usually end up hating the final result, and it was the same with this one. I've been working on this on and off at the end over several weeks, sometimes 5 minutes at the time, because I simply couldn't make it look pleasing to my eyes - but today I decided to just "give up" at this point.

Made in GIMP, photo textures for some of the grass and the rocks.

It's been a while I guess. Made this over the weekend, and just resized and adjusted it a bit today. I got hit by a car last week and can still only use one hand/arm and having trouble sitting for more than 1-2 hours. Even though it might not seem like it should make a big difference for drawing ... well, it does. I had no idea my other hand was important for drawing, it's not only for shortcuts, but actually makes a difference in how I hold my other hand.

So this picture was more for passing the time, probably why it's not very creative and I just stuck to the few references available at this point. Hope you enjoy anyway.

Made in GIMP as usual.
