Gray Scale Sketch; Final

For this assignment I had to make a rough sketch for the final to put my main concept and ideals in the Photoshop document as it is. It was hard getting detail in the fore ground without killing sight of the whole image, but I ended up doing more detail for the back as needed. I used a lot of brushes in order to go over all the necessary things that had to be done with the image (the river, grass and clouds had to be more lifelike and less robotic so I messed around with the scatter and the dynamics of the brush). The overall assignment was mainly a lesson to be learned for future assignment in order to get all of the necessary requirements, and sketching out an idea is one of them.
