City Reflection - Part 1

For variation I decided to make an exclusively 2D concept piece. This allowed me to jump right into the painting experience which I miss a bit when integrating 3D methods as they often take longer to start off for me.

Random Shapes and Forms

So for this one I took a different approach to even my previous 2D projects. This project started off completely with random shapes and forms. I had a city scene in mind but the design was still very loose. 

To start off the colour palate was defined and the mood and atmosphere of the piece started to build up quickly. The lighting in this scene with the reflection in the water played an important role I would keep adding layers and sometimes merging them and mirroring them to the water with different layer options.

Once establishing the core concept of the city's skyline I started to alter the colour settings and adjustments as well as add an foreground to create some more depth in image.
