@Heather-Boyd Iām hoping to do a bit of a cheat here - no matter where I draw the bottom of the pole it will be too busy with the trees at the bottom, so Iām no going to draw the bottom of the pole 
. It will be dark and the pole is in the distance, so Iām hoping it will look natural not to see it. The placement of it is not great though, so I will definitely move it inward.
@Erin-Cortese I think having that pole in the back makes the wires look a lot better. I can't wait to see the next step.
@Coley if this is a study I'd focus on how the values and composition make the piece feel. If this is going to be a finished piece, then detail away 
@Erin-Cortese I think that works nicely, now! Having that power pole fade away behind the tree's will look pretty awesome.
@Aleksey Are you still working on this penguin farm? How is your progress?

Not sure what week to add this one too so week 6 it is!
A step by step to final. Improved on colour and thought I would put my pinterest to better use and tried some of the techniques out for applying colour.
If you have a favourite -let me know

@Heather-Boyd im taking a break from that because of my residency. I got to the rough sketch phase and stopped.
@Heather-Boyd These look so good! I like them all, but the 4th (far right) is my favourite. I was planning on being done with environment design after my subjective is finished, but seeing these makes me want improve my exercises and do a coloured sheet of thumbnails.
Aww your sweet- let me know if you want me to inspire you with more work lols. The 4th one took me the longest - but once I found that colour it was happiness exploding (second colour I chose). I may consider building my final around one of these. Thanks 
@Heather-Boyd I like far right one the best too they're all interesting though, great work.
@Heather-Boyd Very cool.
Colour is still a thorn in my side 
, I would love some feedback on these colour studies. Which one works better? Are my values ok? These are just the local colours, no highlights or shadows included.
@Erin-Cortese Colour's a thorn in all sides.
I'm partial to option 1. It gives a nice sense of moonlight. If you really dial up the warm light behind the clock it would make a nice warm contrast in all the cool.
I'm less partial to option 2. The red's nice and cool, but it makes me feel like there's a big ol' spotlight somewhere off camera.
I think the values are working fine
@Erin-Cortese I agree with @Braden-Hallett both in that color is also my Achilles heel and also that #1 is my favorite. It feels more unified and sets a nice mood.
@Erin-Cortese I also like the first one. Colors are harmonious.
this is worthy of slowvember! slowly picking away.......opacity turned down but I am reinforcing lines and re-drawing things, mostly things on top and right hand side are re-done at this point. slow and I feel like a pain posting it in a way but it makes me feel like I am making SOME sort of progress..........dealing with a busy life and kids studying for finals and I am having some eye strain lately that is a real pain in the butt for getting this sort of work done 
Will keep picking away at it.
I intended the horse to be a regular horse (went from horse to unicorn back to horse) but now I wonder once I sketched it and you could see the lines of the window through the horse if it might be fun to play around with the horse being a dream (translucent/see though) .........so I will toy with that.
and yeah I guess I am putting characters in an environmental final lol but I thought that's eventuallly where I am going so am plowing ahead with that
@Coley Nothin' wrong with working on a thing slowly I think it's shaping up nicely!
@Braden-Hallett thanks!
