First Assignment
Standing on the shoulders of giants: put together a reference file of images with a compelling sense of environment and start making thumbnail copies. Reference a range of sources including concept art, photography, fine art, art of books, frame capture from film, animated movies, etc. These thumbnail copies will help you gain the experience of the artists you admire and will be the beginning of a habit that keeps your eye fresh throughout your career. Keep each study under an hour; please avoid using the color picker.
