ABSTRACT

Blocking it Out Since the theme was pretty violent, I wanted to approach the perspective differently, avoiding the dull front and side angles. Instead, I wanted to introduce a low-angle shot, slightly skewed. To begin, I picked two colors. These two colors represented the background and the foreground, and they were on separate layers. The background color

was on the background layer and foreground color was on the layer on top of it (Fig.01). The next step was to start erasing on the top layer. When doing this, I used a low opacity brush. While I erased, I tried to block out shapes of the environment in this angled perspective (Fig.02a-b). When I saw that the shapes were becoming more and more dened, I just kept working on them, adding more texture and solid outlines (Fig.03).
