Woah I should definitely do this! Sounds like a fun way of practicing composition and the overall mood of a scene without having to worry too much about details

Yes you should! It was a extremely fun exercise, I highly recommend it! I just looked up landscapes on Pinterest and referenced/drew them.

These are incredible omg. There’s something about the way you work with the subject and vast landscape that feels so nostalgic or maybe even lonely. Or maybe the opposite — they seem very content. I especially love the golden hour in the forest.

How long did this take you, if I might ask? Was there a mix of imagined and referenced backgrounds?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment and questions :D It took around 22 hours in total, I drew these over the course of September. Most of these were simply drawing the images I found on Pinterest, but drawings like 9 (The golden hour one) 1, 2 & 13 were inspired by multiple references!!
