30 minute pictures

The photos the pictures were based on...

Ellie's project...

This picture was easier then the others since I decided to trace the tree. The reason why I traced was because I thought the tree would be difficult to re-create. I tried to draw it without tracing and I stopped part-way because I didn't like how it turned out. I choose this picture because it was the african sunset with the tree the only thing in the picture. Right now I think of the lion king which is a different variation but much the same.

This one was difficult because it had loads of pools going back towards the towering mountain with the rocky and snowy face. So thats what the blue pools are. I tried to make it so that they would be big and get smaller and smaller but I don't really look like the full picture. I also had trouble with the mountain, trying to get the sides to look like rocks and that you could tell where the rocks ended and where the snow came in in between. 

This one I quite enjoyed... my mom had taught me how to do this last year, how to draw the road and making it shrink as it got farther and farther away from you. That is what I really really like, how the road came out along with the sides. Well the sides a little less, It was also hard to get the shading correct so that you could see that the green grasses and bushes give way to the plain grass that is a different color. For the sky I just drew blue and pink and tried to add the textures in the way that the picture described.
