This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Working on this, and looking for some hints to make the hills in front above the grass, look more like rolling hills. Any tips are appreciated.

Here's one:

Atmospheric perspective:

Close up we see all colours at full saturation (if they are vivid of course), but the farther away we go, colors drop out, lightens and becomes less detailed and more blurry.

The order of dropping out is: first the yellows, then the reds and eventually the blues.

You might get a headache if you just try to do that like winging it, so I'd recommend some old landscape painting for potential colors, values & saturations.

Don't paint in outlines, it flattens the image. Sometimes clarity in front and fuzzy as it goes to the background will give illusion of depth. Check some photos of rolling hills and how the shading of light falls on them.

Thanks for the ideas. I've been looking at scenes of fields (photos) and watercolor fields. I don't really see how to change what I have to give it the correct effect of depth, but I think I have an idea of what to do for a next try. I'm going to tinker in sketch book with colors and shades to see if I can figure this out.
