Inbetween III

Some attempts at composition. Only the first one is based closely on photo reference (above)
I'm not quite content with the tree on top, because it somehow doesn't match the stumps around it.







I don't want to make this sound like a lame excuse, but I really need to get another scanner someday. It sure works great for animation drawings, however when it comes to color and values I have to heavily adjust them in photoshop to make them resemble the originals...
