Some landscapes I made for study. I would apreciate some feedback
Both the designs are very sharp and clean but the second design feels a lite

Feels too contrasty. I'd say try to control your values more, since right now you've got a lot of darkdarks right up against lightlights, and so the eye just goes everywhere. Tyler Edlin has a lot of good Youtube vids on landscape design

I actually quite like your pointy shapes there. If you apply more rhythm to them I think there can be wonderful result

Thanks, have you got any tutorial or book about rythm?? Because everything I found is pretty abstract

Hey Miguel.these look epic! From life or photo or imagination? Just curious. I do notice one thing in the photo on the right. The path that winds away has some perspective issues unless perhaps i have your horizon line in the wrong spot. Every time the path changes directions they should go to a new vanishing point. I tried to markup the photo with my fat fingers on my iPhone so it’s a bit sloppy. Sorry bout that. The clouds and gesture of the mountains are great. Good stuff.

Oh thanks Chris, they are color studies from photo. I didnt knew about the perspective and the paths, but that really make sense thanks!

Try to get a bigger separation of foreground, middleground, and background. For example in the first one, the shapes in the grass, mountains and clouds look very similar. They have the same level of complexity and value range. They all fight for attention.

Hello Proko!!
It's surprising that Proko has an entire page of instructions like this. I used to watch Proko on youtube https://www.youtube.com/@ProkoTV . This is his channel. I really enjoy drawing. But the sad thing is that the language is English and I am not good at this language. I tried to look it up in the dictionary to understand some of Proko's tutorials on Antomy. I really admire Proko's drawing ability.
