Blizzard Project - Part 1

Scale
This project was a request by another student. I started off with two sketches to set the scene. It was important to add some sort of reference in terms of scale as the cliffs could be any size otherwise. The second sketch got the best feedback and I continued to work on it therefore.
Value and Colour Contrast
The image consists exclusively out of blue and greys. The values and saturation therefore play an important role to guide the viewers eye. The cliff creates a strong value contrast and has an dynamic shape with its bend.

I also wanted to capture the ice structures and the glow through them. In able to achieve this effect I chose very bright and saturated blues towards the canyon corner as the light would shine through this area stronger than in others.
