I've started to make timelapses of these paintings and you can watch it, RIGHT NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAf_aR2HHaI
Also I made a timelapse for the fox on the same youtube channel so check that one out as well.

This one is definitely one of my better backgrounds I've made. I really pushed the light values on this one to make everything look as clear as I could. I wish I knew how to draw water better but I guess that would be for another day. From here I plan on doing more character sketches to get better at anatomy.
