As part of self-directed matte painting course, I made an article of "Making interesting images".
This is just an introduction to the subject and I will go deeper in to the theory in following posts.
These are just my thoughts on this subject so apply these to your workflow at your own risk

Thanks mate.
I've never really done any art theory, so writing these things down is a good way to learn. That also means that stuff you see might be a bit off

Christmas is over and weekend starts.. Time to continue with this self-directed matte painting course with a simple painting.
This is a sketch of a matte painting and I made it just as a planar image with no intension of 3d projection - better to start with simple things and then move to more advanced topics.
I'm actually working with my laptop so things are a bit slow, but at least it forced me to start with a small sketch. So when I start to make the actual matte, I will create a new image and use this as a reference.

Comments and most of all critique is welcome at this point, now that I'm still working with sketch and big changes are still easy to make.

Cheers, Petri.J
