Jedrzej Nyka - Week 2 homework

Hello,

I'm uploading a few thumbnails, I set myself time limits and tried to do what I can within the given period. I tried to keep around 1minute 'free' at the end so I could always make any obvious fixes I missed or spend that time with the smudge tool (definitely my friend during this assignment, and I never really used it properly in the past).

I followed the tips for just using a standard 80% hardness brush for these, played around with scattering, transfer and flow a lot but did not really change opacity. It really opened my eyes, as in the past I pretty much always used the pressure-sensitive brushes without even thinking about it. 

I really enjoyed the assignment so I did a few more! I think overall the island one and the two stålenhag ones are my favourite, and the LOTR one gave me the hardest time, big issues with proportions as well.

 Image1: 

- Star Wars: A New Hope - the binary sunset scene

- Island art by Titus Lunter used in Magic The Gathering 

- Digital painting by Simon Stålenhag

Image2:

- No Man's Sky art (used a fast grass brush for the foreground at the very end)

- Another painting by Stålenhag (the machine is too wide, I see it now :(  )

- Still from LOTR: The Fellowship of The Ring (I struggled with this the most, there is a lot going on there and I was attempting to prioritise, didn't spend a lot of time on the background at all but tried to convey the general tone)
