Group run through creative environment design week 1 art and feedback

[Heather Boyd]

1-3 Exercises completed this week. Just squeezed in. I loved doing these. But houses were the hardest -master perspective class after this.

[braden H]

@Heather-Boyd Perspective is haaaaaard! But i do find it easier in thumbnail form It's a lot easier to extend those imaginary lines waaaaaaay off the page when what you're drawing is tiny

[Heather Boyd]

@Braden-Hallett

You make it look easy.

[demotlj]

@Heather-Boyd These are great! Very creative.

Here is my third silhouette page which I don’t love but it’s done and my objective view of one of my silhouettes. At least, I think it’s the objective view if I’m understanding what that means.

[braden H]

@demotlj Neat design!

Which silhouette were you using for it?

[demotlj]

@Braden-Hallett it was my first set of building silhouettes second row farthest right.

[braden H]

@demotlj Oh nice! I missed that page You stayed nice and true to the silhouette!

[MichaelaH]

So I think I am finished, not perfect. It was very difficult, because I never do such perspective. It is only one raw sketch, would like to do one clean sketch with better perspective (after it is finished I see many parts lacking..but as Jake said, it is good to go some more times over the design after time passes), but after 2 hours doing this exercise, I need some break. But I am proud of me, that I did some environment and one I never usually do...

[demotlj]

@MichaelaH Very intricate! The different perspective is very nice and well done. That's something I have real problems doing -- turning my creation (or anything) around in space and imagining how it would like from another angle. Yours is great.

[MichaelaH]

@demotlj Thank You. I know what You mean, I also never turn my objects, because I don't know how and am afraid of it. Now I know it takes also a lot of time and work. I think my ship looks longer than it is in frontal sketch, but it is ok for the first try.

[demotlj]

@MichaelaH I've started making clay models of my characters so that I can turn them around but it would be a lot faster and easier if I could just get my brain to do it without aids

[MichaelaH]

@demotlj That is a great idea, to take objects like models or like you do with the clay.

@ErinCortese These look so good. Nice job!

[murielle]

The last stretch for this week.
I wasn't planning on doing the trees but by lack of other inspiration, I thought I'd give it another try. This is the second time that I do this exercise, taking at heart everything I've learned here by reading the comments.

I was looking to design pine trees and creepy trees.
Pine trees seem to be really boring, does anyone have an idea on how to make them more interesting?

[Heather Boyd]

@murielle

I love trees including pines. I put some of mine on the side of a cliff (setting) and I stylized a few. For one I saw the shape in another persons work - persons hair, so I really find ideas everywhere I look.
