Observational sketching.

The fruits of todays labour with my uni research project I decided to approach visual development. So this has given me a chance to try out a digital art method I've been wanting to try for a while. I found a painting video on Youtube which involved, painting on a photo to make it appear like an anime background piece

I was rather skeptical at first as painting using a photo and painting on top of it did feel like cheating. However I decided to try it anyway out of curiosity I may pursue this in my project later down the line as I look at artists such as MAKOTO SHINKAI.

This idea emerged when I did an observational sketch of a corridor in the university I attend whilst waiting for class to start.
