Project 2

So i'm making good progress in understanding ruby on rails so that's a plus. 
The other news is it's time for project 2! I'll be doing an illustration for a Tibet landscape. 
This is another brief from brief box. 

I picked this one because I want to keep exploring painting and making brushes in PS. Also because it is cool as well as useful to learn and I could potentially apply it in lots of places!
I haven't decided yet on what picture i'm going to base it off of. 
I was working with this one today when I was messing around but I'm not sure if I couldn't do better.

Which is what has me thinking about the picture I was using above. So I have the style I'd like to work with I think I just need a better picture to go along with it. I think an illustration style like this:

I'm excited to really get going on this, Just have to keep going!
