Watching the lecture and guides for this homework was very useful, especially when trying to convey a certain mood and atmosphere for environments. I really enjoy using colour but I feel I’m not the most adept at it, so watching videos from artists like Bob Ross and studying works of Mark Maggiori who uses bold […]

For the tonal homework, I found quite quickly that it was harder to try and create strong contrast in outside environments that are city based.

I finally decided I wanted to do three very different characters, a human figure (Starfire), a robotic form (Iron Giant) and an […]
