Description Here are some examples of preliminary environment examples I use in my concept art class.
These are done pretty quickly, as there is no color and not much detail, the most important thing being value and composition.
If you want to take the class, you can get a discount by June 19th: [link]
It's gonna be a great class where I explain my techniques in great detail and answer ALL your crazy art questions!

These are quite useful. I think I will definitely be doing thumb studies like this for my next piece. Always knew that I should... but was lazy. These just convince me that I should stop being lazy and make the time to do value studies : )

No worries Although...can you pay me say...1% of you're skill? I promise I'll take good care of it! Think of it as not so much losing 1% and more of an artistic hostile take over

It's great what one can achieve by only using shadows/light!
I especially like the jungle scenes!
