This was step by step demo of environment painting I did during Kazone academy workshop. I collaborated with my co worker John Polidora. I added his munchkin Cat character he designed during demo in the foreground.
wanted to create dreamy feel and warm welcoming organic environment.
using 3 different texture brushes, I created base pallette
designing mjor focal point tree with canopy design top
wanted to keep birhgt tree value like birch trees in levitan painting.
final black/white value before applying colors. At this point, I wanted to make this as night time scene.
started adding temperature to main tree.
applying different temperature on each objects. Not the final color but it is important to bring the painting to certain temperature so I can execute colors more accurate.
Bring out more saturated areas and added big crystal on top of main tree to clarify primary focal point.
Using thicker texture brush, brought out more foreground objects and added more depth of field.
added couple more objects and swapped the elf guy to munchkin cat John Polidora designed in the workshop.
