Elders House on the Hill

This is my composition and value worksheet for the elders house on the hill in the Cheese Moon story I'm working on. I found it really easy to design once I had the composition but the lighting was hard to get right. I loved working on the clouds and using different marks across the image for different textures, but when I came to take it from black and white into colour I really struggled and could never achieve what I wanted. I definitely think this technique is going to require more practice.
