VIDEO TUTORIAL: Pick a Ref - Mount Fuji (Patreon)

Here's  the new Pick a Ref video tutorial! Thank you all for submitting a reference image and voting in the monthly poll. Don't forget that you can send in one reference image every month through the special Discord channel. At the end of the month I'll make a new poll with the favorite photos from September (if your favorite wasn't picked last month, feel free to submit it again of course).

The original photo was made by Sean Pavone: https://www.seanpavonephoto.com/12406131-1429-photo-3 Please be sure to give credit to the photographer when sharing your work.

Canvas Size: 4500 x 3000

I had a lot of fun painting this scene! I think it is about intermediate to advanced level, I think it might have been a bit more challenging than I thought in the beginning. Remember you can always use my sketch if you want to (you can just grab it from the working file), or you can trace the original reference image and then continue to the painting process. It's all just about having fun, and even when you skip a part by 'cheating' a bit, you'll still be learning along the way, don't worry about it!

I have attached a color palette and my working file in case you want to take a closer look (or grab my sketch, even though it might be a bit messy ;)), I had to make it a little bit smaller than the original though, since it wouldn't upload otherwise.
