Raven, did a quick overpaint of your dragon painting.

Some major things you need to keep in mind are atmospheric perspective, the the size of detail in perspective, and saturation levels.

The further someting's away, the less saturate it becomes and the more the hues blend with the colour of the atmosphere. This generally also leads to less contrast. So far away objects should be more greyed out.
I noticed all your grass is equal in size, you need to use larger strokes in the foreground and just a small ocasional stroke in the far away background.
Your shadows are also a problem, they are way to saturated.

Here's an article that handles about all this: http://daphne.palomar.edu/design/space2.html

Before you start to put colour on anything allways ask yourself what kind of material are you dealing with. For example the fur on horses
http://e-advancement.csupomona.edu/film/ga...kingham_jpg.jpg
Noticed the satin effect, where light reflects directly onto the viewer and the way it blends to midtone.
Best piece of advice I can give now is to look at how saturation changes in light and shadowy areas, it's fundamental to getting a convincing painting.

Ditto on that that, but I'd even push that right mountain back further (color wise), closer to the middle one....

I took Anghenfil's advice, and sketched around with Catoman's design.

The scanner is quite literally tied to my sister's computer, which has no network connection or CD burner, or even USB ports, so I have to use my digital camera and hope I can get it to take a decent picture. <_<

I'm often worrying about if I'm original enough, because I've been influenced a lot by other very original artists... And if you'd see my life drawings then you'd stop saying all these nice things. Which reminds me to take pictures of my art school work...

And... I'm not ready to sell my soul just yet. :P

I feel bad about showing this one, it just looks so out wack. I beleive the problem lies in the pin head :lol: In the actual picture there is actually a lot of shading too but my scanner finds it hard to pick up blue pencil.

Various thingies from the past couple days. (same shading problem with the dude in the middle.)
