TASK

In the first week, sir Kannan tasked us to draw or sketch as a practice, either an object or anything in our surroundings, so i proceed to sketch 3 pages worth of perspective studies.

Then, during the second week, we were already tasked to prepare an ideation or to start a worldbuilding, I then proceed to do some value studies, inspired by picture of buildings in pinterest.

We're also tasked to do composition and photobashing to further enhance our worldbuilding, which at first i decide a theme of the design, I chose haunted asylum filled with entities. Here is the following moodboard:

I also decided to merge the ideation of Environment Design and Game art to have the same flow of theme during my workloads.

To further explore my studies, i then started my exploration by digitally sketching the ideation:

I then also proceed with photobashing:

For further elaboration on the ideation of exterior design, it is all documented in the Project 1 page.

FEEDBACK

During the first stages of ideation and fundamentals, sir Kannan gives a general feedback and a demonstration on how to vignette paint as the first steps of the study. After looking into my ideation and sketches, sir Kannan advises me to do more exploring and avoid jumping into details.
