LAUAN601 - Weekly Journal

 Over the last week I have been working on landscape sketches for my practical response. I have begun sketching two specific types of landscapes and have decided their themes.


Desert World














For this piece, I want to depict a fantasy desert area. I have begun doing this by creating large fossils on the mountains to show great fantasy beasts that have died. I have also done this by creating a sense of scale with humans, which can be seen on the right of the left-side plateau. I will continue to develop this through tidying up the sketch and adding colours fit for a fantasy-style world.



City



This piece is still a very simple blocky sketch plan, but my idea is to create a futuristic dystopian city. I will depict this by using very dark moody colours with bright neon to contrast against it. I will improve upon this by adding far more details.



Research

I have also been developing my research and exploring my subject further. I have been looking at different fictional worlds and creating a PowerPoint outlining what makes the world building so immersive and enjoyable. It is still a work in progress.
 


What went well:

- Well composed early sketches
- Well structured analysis of different worlds

What to improve on:

- Contrast and compare the different worlds
- Sort worlds into categories
- Give the illustrations more details.
