honestly learned some cool things about how my digital brushes work! i used a "gouache" brush with a custom triangular-ish tip for most of it. and i used a "textured blend" brush to smooth out the sky part.
but, i had a lot of trouble with the the trunks, the sticks, and the rocks. the thin lines and the hard-edge-based stuff like the rocks and path texture that he did with the palette knife felt pretty impossible with the tools i was using. (also, i used a rake thing for the water and you can really tell lol)
i had a lot of trouble with the golden highlights on the trees, also. maybe should have just used my triangular brush instead of pulling out the dry-looking one with the canvas texture?
anybody with digital art experience have advice? on brushes, techniques, whatever. general art advice also appreciated. i'm a character drawing guy trying to get more into landscape stuff.
thank you!
