Stages to my Final Piece - Ben Hedges


This is the start of my Final piece where i got landscapes of deserts, forests, roads and also objects like the cat and light bulb etc, i played around with these pictures to see what fit and what didnt and after a while i settled on where i like my pictures to be, after that i started to sketch it out.



The first sketch i did was a basic outline of all the objects in place, seeing if they fit and/or if they are the right size i want them to be and after i liked where they were and the size i added some detail to the drawing


i focused more on the foreground than the background at this stage because it was more complicated with the background and wanted to get the less complicated one done first, as you can see this is where i added shading to the whole image and all the fine details from the original pictures like the stones in the sand


Finally i started to work on the background and this is the part i was having trouble with since i couldnt find a way to draw the trees so it wrapped my head around that problem for a while, then i thought just leave them like that because i dont want my drawing to be too realistic and at first glance you can get that they are trees. After i did the trees i re-did the shading again but made it more harder so you can really see where the light is coming from and also played around with how i used my pencil to give different texture effects on the sand and shading. i didnt want to leave the sky blank so i shaded it in lightly and i during a mistake i had to rub it out and it gave a nice effect like lightning so i decided to use that for my picture. overall i keep discovering different ideas and techniques to use when i was working on it and im glad im gaining experience through working since i didnt think i would be able to do this at the start of this project.
