Okay, I tried doing some thumbnail compositions. I want to delve, like, REALLY SLOWLY into environments and backgrounds and space in general, as I virtually never did that. So, please don't laugh:D
Speaking of which, do you guys know any sources/books/links that would help me start with that from scratch? I mean, are there any specific sources about environments and landscaping? I know I need to practice perspective, composition etc. Oh, and I have ordered Scott Robertson's book, can't wait:) And I have ctrlpaint's tut on perspective. So, perspective-wise, I am armed for the war. But I don't really know what else to study and, in general, where to start from?
So, these I did from references:
And these are home-made:)
The thing I notice the most is the poor content, I have these shitty claws everywhere and those are like only things I can come up with, apparently:) I didn't even know I do that lol:) So, everything is simple and scarce and poorly designed, even for thumbs. So, I guess some practicing from environment references is in order, to enhance the visual library. At least, that's what I would conclude from this experiment.
