Environmental Thumbnails

After getting my research done, i had an idea of how i wanted my first thumbnail to look like, and after a couple of tutorials on youtube, that idea became reality, so first up are the line work thumbnails, they where mainly 5-10 mins quick sketch's, except for number 2 which took a bit longer.

i messed up the layers on thumbnail 3, that's why there's a little colour on it. after this is the value studies, adding shadows and shading to show where the light sources will come from.

lastly come's the colour study, i was experimenting with different brushes for the last one so that's way the style is different, i think the one i focused on the most way number 3 with the tree textures, this was before the lecture where Nigel said that the only ones we had to go into true detail on where the final environment's and character piece.
