today we looked at atmospheric perspective
colours change or fade as objects recede into background to create depth.
and a few other things, but mostly we talked about and worked on our concept art assignment.

giants that can't decide who owns a hat.  too cartoony for concept art.  if i do a finished version of this their heads will be smaller and more realistic and their hands larger and more gnarled.

 

the heroic prince.  again, too cartoony for concept art.

 

the princess locked in a tower for a few hundred years too long

 

the older prince gets turned into an eagle

 

uh...fernando plays cards with a squid

 

again, too cartoony for concept art

 

mark showed us how he uses corel painter last week, i stuffed around with mountain ranges, trying to learn some brushes and so on...  i like the effects with light but obviously i lack the knowledge of how to polish things so they look like finished art and not someone playing around with brushes.
