SP 29 : Light and Trees

this one was too simple of a reference picture to sketch for. it was really hard to paint it.. or i mean.. to get the trees right. D:  I did 2 paintings today. the first one was around 20 minutes.. and the second one was about 40 minutes.

i thought since it was really simple.. i could do it just by eyeballing mostly everything..
this is what happened :

the shapes aren't well defined, and it looks really confusing.. so i restarted and paid more attention to shadow shapes and colors and values. and this is the result :

hmm. i went too light in the middle of the page but it's cleaner now..  and i like how the light on the left side of the page looks correct :)

gotta do more of these rawrrr!
