Hello, here are my 5 submissions! As a character artist, this challenge helped me conquer my fear of landscape painting haha. I was able to really push the way I see values, hue shifts, and big masses. Simplifying rocks into simple shapes was pretty challenging and seeing the subtle hue shifts in skies and foliage was tricky as well but I tried my best to apply all of Tiffanie’s tips. I added some imagination on top of some references. In thumbnail #2 for example, I thought it would be nice to “lower” the background trees a bit and make the sky more visible. The software I used is Photoshop. My main tools were selection tools (marquee & lasso), smudge tool, full opacity round brush, as well as a chalky brush for initial blocking and big swooping motions. Reference pictures are all from my home country Morocco. I hope you like my work, thank you! :)

I love doing thumbnails so much so this was super fun! Great challenge Tiffanie!

This is my first time doing landscape thumbnails and it was pretty fun. Although kinda frustrating at first because I had no idea what I was doing lol. Really happy with the experience 10/10

Hello there ! Here are my 5 thumbnails for this challenge ! It was an amazing experience, I learned so much and I'll do it again for sure ! Before christmas, I went to Paris to visit the Petit Palais and just wander in the city, no pressure whatsoever. It was a lovely day, so it seemed natural to share it through these little thumbnails... I hope you'll enjoy the tour ! ^^ Here's a little description of the following images : 1. All 5 entries together 2. Entry 1 : Petit Palais (outside), morning 3. Entry 2 : Petit Palais (inside), noon 4. Entry 3 : Louvre and Pont Royal, afternoon 5. Entry 4 : Saint-Germain-des-Prés, late afternoon 6. Entry 5 : Hôtel de Ville, dusk 7. How I modified the photos I took that day to create my references 8. Entries vs References

Here are my 5 final thumbnails for the challenge...

Hi there, here my entry :) I finally got to use some of the references I've been taking over the last few years. Some had been gathering dust in the archive for more than twelve years. ^^; Most of them were taken in Cagliari, where I have lived for ten years, in the Natural Park of the Molentargius Saltpans or on the Sella del Diavolo, the striking promontory overlooking the Poetto beach. There is also a canal photographed near Manchester and a small waterfall in Varese, Lombardy (the area where my father-in-law was from). Thanks for giving me the opportunity to rummage through my photo archives, I have found a lot of interesting things that I had forgotten over the years! :)

Hello, So here are my 5 Thumbnails studies, Really enjoyed doing it . And best of luck to everyone !
