Digital Paintings 004 & 005

004 is another practice landscape. This one was inspired by Bob Ross - Ebony Sunset (Season 1 Episode 3)

Digitally painted landscape 005 is not based on a tutorial. For this one, I challenged myself to work from a random prompt. I generated this prompt from Random Landscape Generator

You stand in a hilly region smattered with broken dark stones. It's also replete with huge shrubs.  You can see a bog on the horizon and a monastery in the distance.  The temperature is warm and the sky is partially cloudy.

Digital Painting 003

Another practice piece, reinterpreting a Bob Ross tutorial digitally. Here is what I made inspired by Bob Ross - Mt. McKinley (Season 1 Episode 2)

Digital Painting 002

I decided to practice digital painting by interpreting another Bob Ross tutorial digitally. Here is what I made with Bob Ross - A Walk in the Woods (Season 1 Episode 1)

Digital Painting 001

I recently watched some videos of people following Bob Ross tutorials. Some of the artists in the videos tried to follow the oil painting tutorials digitally. I watched them struggle. Maybe it was all for show (having trouble makes for a more dramatic video), but I found myself thinking of ways to do it better.

I opened GIMP and plugged in the Wacom Bamboo tablet I'm borrowing from my mom. This is what I created following the video Bob Ross - Meadow Lake (Season 2 Episode 1)

This worked better than I hoped and makes me think I can do better. Now I want to practice more digital paintings of imaginary places.
