Exterior Environment Design - Final Assignment

[Serena]

Hi guys

I'm quite new here, nice to meet you all

I've just finished the final assignment of the Exterior Environment Design class.

This ist the objective design. Same with some colour:

And here the subjective design:

This was a real challenge for me

It would be great to get some feedback from you. I'd really like to learn more and grow as an illustrator!

@Serena Thanks for sharing this with us, Serena!! Way to go. You've got some nice work happening here. I went to your profile and looked at a watercolor (and I think it may have had some digital with it) piece that you did. I hope you pick up your watercolors again--you've got a neat style there!

It's neat you decided to put the buildings into an environment! I like how you're playing with the digital brushes and you've got some good work going with that. With this last image, notice the silhouette of the buildings, vs. the silhouette of the earlier building that you created. We've got more interest in shapes with the earlier version. The buildings in the landscape don't have quite as much variance.

@MelissaJacie Thank you for your feedback

@Serena I agree with @MelissaJacie and I would also think about the tones I think overall, they are a too dark and so the sky and grass are both dominant, I would consider lightening the sky around the lighthouse as that would create a stronger contrast and draw your eye there. Also, the cloud has the greatest contrast which you don't really want as your eye is drawn there, so I would edit that out or lessen the contrast here.
