So far I've been doing this forest for some time now trying out more painting tools, I think it's going along well but wanna know if anyone see's anything off about it, anything helps, will give it a character later.

i just think the colors are flat, but i assume you'll add more later on since you said it's unfinished?
scenic isle
Yeah, mostly the color upfront needs depth

Any tips on adding depth?

How do you normally add depth is a better question
clever shard
perspective, shadows, and lighting

Update? Needs more shadow I know

it's definitely flat in terms of texture and color, if you want more color depth I would try using multiple colors instead of just one and blending them together. Also using partially translucent brushes is really good for this too as you can add color on top without removing what you have already entirely, creating better gradients. also the airbrush is good

Oh right, I made a few changes, but I assume the colors need some more work?

also I love food forests and I think they're good artistic inspiration
I think if you added more plants and layered them vertically it would look nice
scenic isle
Good idea, once I'm done with the character I'm adding I should do that

Also I realized you have some nice texture here in the trees and grass, but in my discord app I couldn't really see it because the details were too fine
I would probably add some more complexity to the textures, as well as add more detail at different scales
the main place I would add some more color variation would be the river I think
scenic isle
Yeah, kinda focused too much on the other aspects ig lol

I'm trying to edit your painting right now
idk why i'm having such a hard time
maybe it's easier to give criticism than implement it lol

what do you think of this? I noticed your water didn't have much in terms of value variation
scenic isle
Yeah, I think something like that would work, maybe remove the water flow I did and add that after or not at all

I kept your water flow here, the only thing I would saw is that the flow is a little bit too straight
it seems fast moving so it will be more straight but not like perfectly
because water is chaotic and the river isn't straight either

Got it, thank you for your insights and suggestions
