Deep Project Work

Over the summer I've been involved with a short film directed by one of my lectures Derek Hayes. The film is made up of sections in several different styles and genres of live-action and animated film, I've been doing some backgrounds and soon I'll hopefully get to do some character designs as well!

The first background I was given was in the style of American painter Edward Hopper, I began by sketching out a street with similar architecture to the buildings featured in his work then I used a ruler to make a line drawing of the street which I could paint;

Then I studied Edward Hopper's style and developed a technique using several layers on Sketchbook Pro which resembled his paintings;
