Okay I wasn't expecting a load of like and comments, but maybe just one or two? :\

Pretty indeed! I like it

thanks :D

That`s very pretty.

I think it looks kind of cool...It looks sort of surreal.

Wow, good job! It's really pretty! I was just at a pond... o_0 Coincidence? Nice work.

Oh man this is really pretty! *U* Yeah drawing with a touchpad is hard huh? I don't have a mouse so I'm used to it Maybe next time try some smoothing on the branches but otherwise this is intermediate.

That looks awesome. :u

Also, the the timer is all-knowing, I was multitasking while I was drawing this!

Wow I really like it! I wish I could do this good. Good job.

Wow! Thanks!.................Wait, did I put that the timer is all-knowing? Gahahahahahahahaha! I have no idea how that happened! I meant the the timer is all-knowing!

Tree? Oh, wait, yeah, now I see it. It was just hidden in your awesome misty stuff.

lol yup i love the mist i hides more than trees also my mistakes

I never seen you did this before i love it!

Pwetty :3

thanks

This is very nice. I only have a couple of small suggestions to make this look a little more realistic.

Vanishing Point: Establishing a vanishing point in your peice of art is crucial in order to give the viewer a good idea of what they're looking at, and they don't get confused. The science behind this is rather simple; farther away things are smaller (and behind everything) while bigger things are in the front, before everything else. It also helps with perception. You can practice the vanishing point by drawing a dot in the middle of your paper and making a road towards it, starting at the corners of your paper and slowly slanting towards the center, the two lines meeting at the dot.

Have a Referance: What makes painting look really nice, say, of flowers, is if they look like real flowers. Suppose you wanted to make a picture of some roses. All you would have to do is print a picture off the Internet, or use a real rose. References really help with making this very realistic.

Find your "Sun Point": Imagine where the sun or a light source is on your paper. (It doesn't have to be visible) Once you have the basic color or what you want, going back to the rose example, imagine you wanted it dark red. You would then make a brighter red or even pink and go over the tips of the petals. Make sure you know that what you are shading or adding light to is in a different spot, so the light still comes from the same place, but is reflected off each petal differently. Same with the shading; you may have no shading on one petal, but another one may be completely shaded!

If you have Extra Time: I always finish my work early in school, so I have pieces of paper in my binder that I sketch on, practicing things I find difficult, and developing new styles. Who knows, that Popular Kid in your class may just catch a glimpse of your lovely art...

I really hope this helps!

I'm glad you find my advice useful. Just remember- me as a dragon artist, this is painfully true - that every single detail matters; you cannot "get lazy" on anything. Whether it be thousands of tiny blades of grass, each with their own shading and light point, or every single tiny scale on a colossal dragon- breathing fire!
Who knows where your hand will take you? Practice makes perfect, and I would love to see your art in the future.

OMG this. Is. Awesome. I think it's even Intermediate worthy!!

thanks guys!

I love this!!!! <3 <3

Aww, thanks!

bump?

Bump!

ooh, cool! looks like Arches National Park.

Thanks!

Anyone else? To some people 45 minutes may not be much, but I've had a busy week and it feels like forever.
