Visual Language - Environmental Story Telling - Corn Exchange

Here are my developed images from my thumbnails of the Corn Exchange.

I decided to include the sketch that I had done on the day I visited the corn exchange as I feel that it is a strong piece and I successfully managed to capture the ....

I focused on creating an image from one of my sketches of table and chairs. Because I wanted this scene to clearly be in he Corn Exchange, I included a rounded perspective. Personally, the Corn Exchange is probably one of the most difficult places to draw because of how circular the interior is. 

Here I wanted to created an abstract and dark version of one of my thumbnails. I used dark oil pastels to created the block coloured effect .I feel as though the perspective is okay on this shot. If I was to animate onto this background, I would have the shot follow characters around the balcony to capture the full scene.

I used light oil pastels for this scene. I decided to blur out certain areas like the lights and stairs to create more focus on the doorway. I prefer my backgrounds to be quite messy and rough so I kept this in mind when creating this scene. I feel as though the perspective wasn't right on this one either. From these drawings I have found out that drawing perspective on a curve is difficult. 

I decided to create a linear background. I used Pro-Marker pens to create the block colours, and layered over the top with fine liner to add rough details. I exaggerated the ground to be more curved as an attempt to exaggerate the perspective. However, without proper shading this failed. I decided to keep the composition fairly linear as well to create a new perspective to my group of backgrounds. This shot could be used from a characters point of view, moving through the interior and through the door.

Overall, I feel like I have created a range of angles from this environment, and also developed my understanding of perspective and colour. I personally enjoy the idea of having an abstract background for characters to move through in order to create more focus on the characters and what is happening within the scenery.
