Manoela's Sketchbook (and journal?)

[ManoelaCosta]

Hi guys. So, I found myself I a situation where it would be great to have some differente kind of landscaps and backgrounds on my portfolio: animation backgrounds! It’s an an opportunity that just came by, and I’d love to give it a try and also experiment on some new stylizations! My main references for this first attempt are from Gravity Falls and Star vs the Forces of Evil, sinec it’s a Disney related world. I decided to represent some of the locations where my webcomic Shadowplay is centered, tugh I had to make everything more friendly and less creepy (the webcomic is a thriller about a series of murders in a small town). I just made those sketches and I’m still trying to figure out how funky and crazy I should go with the lines and the perspective, but it just feels easier to me to start from a more sober point of view. Any critics and recommendations would be appreciated!
