Lately I'vebeen incredibly bored, and I stumbled upon some Bob Ross Videos on youtube.
So, I got a drawing program from the internet because MS Paint is a bit lackluster, in this case Krita, A free Program used to illustrate all sorta stuff, from Comics, manga, VFX, etc. And decided to give it a shot just to kill some time.
I am by no means an artist, I've studied some semesters in architecture and know how to draw at a basic level, but I don't claim to be good at it.
My Setup is:
- An Old Laptop(Acer Aspire 5720-4126):
- Intel Pentium Dual-Core
- 2 GB of Ram DDR2
- A Genius Netscroll 310 Mouse
Yeah, that's it.
The Bob Ross video I chose is Ebony Sunset (Season 1 Episode 3)
And we can see the progress here, in a side-by-side comparison
Bob Ross | Garbage I made |

After this point I stopped giving a fuck about how good the "painting" had to look, I tried to copy Bob too hard, but hey, every painting is different and is ok as it is. There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
So, I continued drawing with less stress, most of the time I am my worst judge.
After some thought, I decided to rename my "painting" "Wildfire in the Woods".
I guess that's the pretty thing about art, you can just let your imagination go wild.

The picture is taking shape, but still is not much :P, yet, I don't feel like adding much more besides details .
Final sloppy job, enjoy.
You can watch Bob ross' video for reference. peace.
