Hidden in Plain Sight

Okey, this hidden download game is too boring, plus I didn't have that much to say in between... I was left speechless by the imagery... Yes, that'll be my corny excuse!

Anyways, here is the promised .zip file complete with a PDF guide and a video containing all the steps and even missteps the artists took to get the final result as seen above! Come on, that's gold! And for free!

Did you download the tutorial? Did you digitally paint your landscape? What are you doing then? Oh, you need more inspiration? Then I'll stop writing to myself (as if I was talking to you) and actually put down some digital painting ideas:

5 Most Beautiful Landscapes In The World

What better way to find inspiration for your landscape? Oh, you were going to paint your backyard... Okey, that's a good idea too, I guess...

Guilin, China

These towering limestone mountains have inspired Chinese artists and poets for centuries... Now it's your turn!

Visitors can take a boat tour down the Li River to admire the scenery or go hiking, cycling, and exploring nearby caves and waterfalls... But that is for people that actually leave their houses from time to time, not digital painters... We don't need all of that...!

Whitehaven, Whitsundays, Australia

The soft silica sand on Whitehaven Beach makes it a unique experience, as it remains cool to the touch even in scorching weather. Visitors can swim, snorkel, go kayaking or simply take a stroll along the shore while taking in the breathtaking views of turquoise waters and lush greenery that surround them.

But again, why do all that when you can just search "Whitehaven Beach" online? Am I right, fellow digital painters?

Na Pali Coast, Hawaii

Towering cliffs rise up to 4,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, creating a stunning contrast with the crystal-clear waters below.

The area can be explored by hiking the Kalalau Trail... Enough said... Not interested! Let us daydream in peace! I can't digitally paint on those cliffs, there's nowhere to charge my tablet! Also what if my digital pencil falls into the ocean... Those are expensive! How many digital pens do I have to sell to afford this trip in the first place?

Spotted Lake, Canada

The unique coloration of the lake is caused by the evaporation of water during the summer months. It leaves behind colorful mineral deposits that change hues with the changing seasons... Oh, no! Now I have to paint 4 different images for the same landscape...! I'm done being a digital painter!

Salar De Uyuni, Bolivia

Is this last one really "beautiful"? I don't know, but it looks fairly easy to pull off, though! Although, I probably wouldn't hang that digital painting on my wall...
