Found Inspirations - Birth Of Dawn #251

Taking photos is an awesome activity to take part in rather your a professional or just some person snapping away at things they love to look at. For me it's landscape, stars, moon, and well anything as I'm really enjoying the new experience of photography. I also like digital art so I'm putting them both together and creating new images that don't exist but from the parts that I use and sometimes I just create a mountain or sky or whatever. I'm just having fun learning and sharing with everyone else. This takes so much time to create so I'm always trying to figure out ways to speed up what i do learning new techniques

I would love to get to the point that I can make anything I want and just create any kind of image I want but as you know it's a long process and takes a lot of learning, tools and techniques. So you see the light rays, you can take an overlay then color match you're brush and set the opacity to 7 to 15 and start brushing down in the same direction to the water so it now reflects that same color, dont over do it as much as you might want to just do it enough to see the difference and take a step away from your computer for 10 mins then come back to see how it looks like. If it looks like it sets well you did it right if it needs more you know it needs more. Each artist does it differently however it's good to know as many ways to do styles and then put your twist on it. You will become very skilled in way of doing this kind of art!

I changed the mountain details and added a dramatic background and it seems to fit nicely If I need to change something around maybe the sun or a cloud I'll do that or perhaps remove something, Ahh okay how about this? This looks nice yep it's a keeper!

Playing with shadows lets me add some depth in ways i couldn't so easily before. I'm going through each setting and playing with them until i get a look I'm pleased with. This is one of the new settings in Gimp so I'm just learning how to use it!

The back is fade from details and the sky as nice it is lacks drama. So lets have some fun and make some art from this art!
