Environment sketches

Some environment sketches. thought i'd do a few that tie in together. also pushing myself with composition scale and color

practice paintings adding to potential environment portfolio thumbnails

 1 hr practice mood/scale/lighting

20 min practice speed and composition

I realised recently that i can post some of the things I've been doing for the 'Origins of Malu' project. A lot of these are being used on the website so i reckon they are OK to share with you all :)

roughing out a close up of the figure in 'forest grove' i think doing a few pieces in

a series sounds like a good idea. need anatomy practice so bad.

happy accident speed paint for the day. 

Final version after another hours detailing.

Here's an hour speed paint for today. will probably spend another hour adding some detail. i have some video links coming up which is exciting. I find filming forces me to stick to a painting and solve problems instead of scrapping things entirely.
