ADDED DEPTH
To add depth to the forest, the artist has made the trees denser in
the background. The artist also uses the trees to frame the characters and
reinforce the focal point.03
MORE REFINEMENT
The scene is getting more refined now, with foreground details on the
floor and trees being added in. You can see how the characters are progressing too- the girl pointing off in to the distance starts to reveal the story for this image.

IMAGE SHIFT
The whole image is shifted to the right – by doing this, what
was becoming a very symmetrical image is now much more
interesting. Still, more refinement is made to all areas of the image.02
COLOUR PASS
Next, a rough colour pass is done to establish the palette and mood of
the piece. You can see how the artist has started to solidify the characters too,
using lighting to define their shape more.THE JOURNEY BEGINS

INITIAL SKETCH
Here, the artist has laid down the initial sketch for the scene using just
tonal value – the characters are little more than silhouettes at this stage. This is
crucial for getting the composition right.
