I've been wanting to try a scenery trick from an article by Lance Mindhiem, where he used grey scouring pads as a last layer of scenery. Per his technique I cut some contour shaped strips and placed them at the very back of my scene. These pads are about 3/8" thick and provide just a small amount of implied distant scenery; extra depth in such a short distance. I think I could have tugged at the fibers a bit to make for a more ragged edge. I'll try that next time I use it. I found these pads in the sandpaper section at the Home Depot. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
