The frantic deadline period is over and now I can have room to breathe again. I can now go outside, eat, sleep and draw again. Though most importantly, play video games once again. What the outcome of my work handed in will be like, who knows. Who knew studies could be so time consuming. I can’t say any of it lived up to my expectations.  Though it was a good learning period. From reference.

I do generally like my outcome, though it was a bit over ambitious of me and caused a lot of damage to the following piece, because I ran out of time.  There is a few nasty proportional mess ups I missed until it was too late, though you can probably see them. If not, don’t worry about it.

Another problem I had was that the image above took considerably longer than I had expected. For my last environment I was left with very little time, and it shows. Really I needed something that was simple. Turns out making good looking grass and other plant life is not simple. The image recycles the same few brushes for almost everything. And I can’t believe I didn’t finish the flag either. Just looks lazy. Lazy. Lazy.

The idea of using a golf course was a back up one, because originally I was going to do some rock caverns with light coming through and sparkling  across the water, but decided against it after how long the subway train took. Not to worry, I will keep the rock cavern idea for later. As with my life drawing unit, now that I have dabbled with environments and messed them up a bit, I am inspired to continue practicing them in my own time.
