My sketchbook laying open on the grass. I used soft pastels to draw a mountain with a snowy valley, there’s a big strip of blue shadow in the valley.

A collection of acrylic markers and two sketches of a Chamois. One is a close up of the face (in bright colours) and the other is a a more zoomed out version with colours that are a bit more like the ones in the referenced photo. I struggled to draw this critter, but loved the playing with the markers.
Reference photo shows a Chamois on a snowy slope with bright orangey-yellow leaves in trees behind the slope

My sketch of a mountain landscape in oranges and blues
A gorgeous reference photo of a mountain range taken by PetitCrocus - again the highest peaks are catching a warm orange light, while the lower peaks in the foreground are in shadow
Bonus pic of my dog laying on top of my pastels and my sketchbook when I was trying to to take photos of them.

My soft pastel sketch of a boxy mountain peak. The peak is neo by hit with orange light, while the mountains in the foreground are grey and snowy.
Another stunning reference photo showing the mountain peak catching the orange light of a sunset… or maybe sunrise?

My sketch of a rocky, snowy mountain peak against a blue sky. I used colour pencil to add scribbly lines to the rocks for texture and the sky for extra swirly-ness

My thumbnail sketch of snowy trees in front of a purple mountain. You can just see the tips of a white gel pen and a dark blue pencil in the top right of the image.
