Creative Research - Environmental Design

After focusing a lot on character design this year, I have realised that I have found myself not focusing a lot on environmental design. And this is something I am also eager to do, because characters and environments go hand in hand. Recently on tumblr I have started following a character designer and illustrator from Germany who goes by the name "Ira"

After scrolling through her feed, I found that she also produces some really amazing environmental drawings. However, the first example of environmental design I saw on her page was on her header photo which I loved!

These two examples above, really stuck with me, and left me feeling really excited about coming up with some of my own environmental concept art. It has also made me want to experiment with different media, which as watercolour, and inks, as well as digital. After seeing these examples and many other, I have decided that one of the things I intend to do over summer is produce more environmental work, because I think this year I have become very caught up in just character design alone.
