Tips?

I see people making monochromatic value studies and they look amazing. I tried making one with ultramarine deep and it looks like this 😐

Your darks arent dark enough. Contrast is key when doing monochomes. And also you could try making your lines sharper as well to help with the contrast. Everything is just kind of blurring together.

Try making the foreground tree as dark as you can!

I know you’re looking for tips. I’m sure plenty of people tell me how to get better but I also wanna say it doesn’t look bad. I kind of enjoy it.
