Christmas Card

For one of my final exams, we have to make a Christmas card. So I decided to make a card with an illustration that has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. I'm thinking of changing the dimensions of the card because that tangency between the edge of the house and the gutter is bothering me.

Once again, I come with more daily speedpaints. I'd like to think I've generally gotten better at composition, shaping, color, and all that good stuff, but it's much to soon to expect anything. The practicing never stops.
These were all 30 mins. 

This is an idea of what my process usually looks like when painting in photoshop. I usually start with basic general shapes in black and white. Then I gradually make things more detailed while bringing color into the picture.

thanks to the Daily Spitpaint group on fb, I've been drawing a lot of things that are way out of my comfort zone. It's quite challenging I tell ya. On the bright side, If I keep doing this for at least a couple years, who knows what'll happen?
