I love looking at everyone’s posts for this assignment! As usual, mine are pretty basic, but, you’ve given me something to work towards. I had a hard time getting my head around these, for some reason, probably classic overthinking. 🤦‍♂️😂 I’ll just keep working (playing?) at this. It’s a cool exercise!

I keep getting the urge to water colour these assignments and its so fun!!

I wasn't able to set aside nearly enough time to really explore rock types and shapes, so I went for a more "sandy" approach. Very melted and layered instead of structured. Like a well worn bay. Included my previous assignment piece to show where I pulled and which direction.

I did my practice run of Environment Pancakes the other day and forgot to post. Hopefully, it will make it into the critique video. As always, this exercise was quite a ton of fun. I was trying to follow along with a reference I found and liked to give me more of a challenge of an Ice Cavern. This exercise was quite a bit harder then the previous ones I must admit but quite fun though overall on learning to put were my horizen line goes and pinpoint my areas at within it. Hopefully anyone can help me out on how I can improv with this new exercise that was given in our disposal toolset. I'm looking forward to practicing it more, though, to get better. Thanks for the fun exercise, Phillip.

My first attempt playing around with the melted pancakes idea in Procreate.

It was harder than I thought it would be. I was not able to do the exercise with the same design I did for the previous assignment. I had to make a new one and go back and then start stretching it and adding more detail.

Cracking on...

I am loving everyone's melted pancakes. Mmmmm...

Not very rocky but trying to practice extrusions.

I tried to play around with building a rockey landscape, but the thing that exited me the most was the methodical way to build a rock like Phillip showed in the lesson. I first tried a simple shape, and drew the lines that would be visible in blue, and those that wouldn’t be visible in red. Then I tried a more complex shape. It really felt great and it felt like I was understanding the 3d form of what I was drawing. It made me able to sculpt on the paper without much guesswork. I realised that it was basically isometric perspective, and I figured that I could draw boxes as well, so I tried drawing the shape of my house. Drawing the cracks in the rocks looked really tempting, so I had to try it out.

a little bit messy I think, but a lot of fun I

Who knew perspective could be so much fun!

First image is drawing along with the video, second one is by myself. Since I don’t have as much experience as Philip (obviously), I drew the pancakes shapes with a pencil very lightly to place the general idea that I want to draw, then added the solidity and details by pressing harder afterwards.

Here my attempt at my imagination

Having fun with this assignments.

Here is my assignment for this video, again it was a lot of fun creating a world like the last one. However some of the perspective seems off

Here, I created a cave using the pancake technique. The dark shading in the background seems to counteract the foreground, middle ground, and background separation. That’s something I would approach differently next time.

I loved listening to Phillip in this lesson quite a ton, Marshall. I'm most definitely going to be practicing this assignment quite a bit to get a feel for this method. Looks fun to do as well. Looking forward to this one.
