Background practice!

So I've been doing a few practices on backgrounds and environment (along with props). ...yes, I did use an image reference for this one and most of the times. Perhaps I should do a outside door scenery next. For now, this is what I have so far:

At least it took me a while to finally figure out the painting portion of it (for some reason, coloring line art like this comes simple for me).

More Graphic Design jobs... and this.

I was requested this a while back (around the winter) for a commission. The first one was for keynote awards - this one had a lot of details in terms of lettering along with the design along with legibility. I am not going to reveal which were the final designs.

Keynote Speaker Awards

The second commission was for invitation borders. That was fun (it really was; I am not going to lie).

And I was messing around in Photoshop over the watercolor brushes I found on http://cghub.com/.

And that being said, I want critiques for these backgrounds; I am hoping to get better with these!

Done! For these little assignments...

As the result of two all-nighters... here are the products of what I've done for the vehicles.

...And this is the bio version.



This was the grandeur vs gutter project for earlier today. The first one is a foyer (originally, it was supposed to be a ballroom. However, I forgot about dancing) and the second one is an abandoned apartment.





Enjoy.
