This was harder than I thought it would but I tend to overthink things. One particular problem that slowed me Down was, what happens when you start below the horizon and end above it when the pancakes are stacked… I had fun though.

Went over the last assignment with tracing paper.

This was a fun one, it's definitely a good one for getting into the flow of things!

I love this lesson, It solves so many of problems in environment design.😍 this baby took +30 hours.

After a while I realized that I was kinda forming a path that a video game character could cross so I fully gave into that idea as I finished the assignment.

Done! What a playground this creates! :D My vocabulary of "rocky shapes" is very limited, but I did have fun doing what I was able to.

I put little bridges and doorways in mine

Melted Pancakes - Part 2

Imagining terrain from blank is harder than I thought. I realized after focusing more on some other area for awhile, I get lost what the previous forms supposed to be in terms of whether the planes were supposed to be roofs or walls so I ended up tone the walls for clarity.

And some inking, detailing 😋 my sci-fi-esque pancake approach!) planing to make many more of these! Pancakes - perfect for environment, blobs - for things that fill it!)

I got really into part two of the melted pancakes project. I ended up creating a dashed line brush so I could draw the back facing parts of my objects quicker. I also threw in some shading in the end to try and separate some of the forms.

I am already over the deadline since I am doing the anatomy course as well - but I still wanted to upload my assignment. Regards!

Melted Pancakes assignment! Did some thumbnails prior to the final piece, initially thinking this would require more thought, however as I did it, the mountains started to come more naturally, like a stream of conciousness, and in the end i felt like i didnt even need the initial thumbails. I think this is a great thing to practice when you have artblock or you need a nice quick environment for a scene.

"land of no-land" some fun melted pancakes.

I had a lot of fun with this assignment. Normally when I draw organic shapes I overthink things, but this method has really helped me in making the process more fun.

Was hard but managed to make some rocks. Was able to add some cracks too, tried them digitally. Was fun doing digitally

This assignment was really fun! It was great exercise for my mind, specially because it made me realize how many things I still don't understand. "The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know." I had to draw the coins outside of the frame to roughly estimate how much of the surface of the pancakes can be seen. It was also really difficult to know how distant the pancakes are from eachother. I can see some mistakes, but many mistakes are still hidden for my eyes. But for a first time drawing something like this, it think it's great. Grand Canyon, fear me! I will draw you, too.
