 you mean black outline throughout? Here, I liked it to not use in on the buildings, but, say the set of stones above the forklift were a pile of mess without outlines. I have to work on the dithering.

Thanks once more.

I wasn't sure about the colors. i didn't even know there was a forum about work in progress, so I probably should have posted it in there, and then give it another go at the colors, or the details. I have to find a way to refine the palette, I guess it depends on what mood I want? I wanted this to be more a bright sunny day, so I picked light colors and try to add a lot of shadows.

The water I am not sure about how to do it, I tried to give is some sort of movement, but again, maybe the colors are off. The trees probably need more detail, so I'll try that.

 

I have to look up some info on how to use colors.

 

Thanks for all the input.

 I made building after building, so I guess you could figure the sequence, as I went along, I played around with more stuff, adding curves, glass, etc, making things more involved. So there is a learning/experimenting process throughout. I didn't really know where to place them exactly before I started to put all the building together on one image, so I sometimes think things might be too hectic, or the colors are not matching.

Where is the lighting off and which colors don't match? I am never quite sure about the colors, I guess I have to try using the color wheel to find matches. Also, some shadows are tricky I thought.

I used black outlines in the areas that are in the shade, but with the smaller objects, it gets inconsistent, as I found sometimes the black was too much. There I only used it when there were many objects together (like the stones).
