Background - Canyon Sketches

The background project is based on the Knight Rider storyboard from last term. The exterior design will be a frame of a desert canyon as described in the script.

I've begun to look at references of images of the desert to give me some indication of how to create a sense of depth & how the lighting reacts with the details of the canyon. I drew some simplistic, quick sketches in blue pencil to create rough outlines & the basic areas of shadow.

One of the exteriors is required to be a simplistic pencil sketch creating a sense of depth with minimal use of tone. The second exterior is a
painted frame of the canyon with a specific colour scheme, attempting to draw the viewer's eye to an area of the scene - possibly where character animation could take place.
