As artists, one of the hardest parts is finding solid references to actually grow from. That’s why I opened up my own stash, the same kind of material I rely on at Mad Charcoal. So skip the scavenger hunt and dive straight into your work!
Dynamic variety — sweeping skies, smudged horizons, textured terrain, and raw natural compositions
Creative fuel — references built to spark atmosphere, depth, and mood, the way charcoal dust turns empty space into something heavy
Practical growth — sharpen your eye and build stronger scenes with landscapes that feel alive, grounded, and drawn from the earth itself
