Second Image Progress and Practicing Shapes

So far, this is my progress on the second image for Trapped.

I think I am getting somewhere with shading.  I'm also trying to figure out how to do texturing.  I'm sure such knowledge will come to me in time and the more that I practice.

Today I learned how to draw basic shapes.  Since I have been working in Photoshop for a while, I have not drawn doodles on paper for a long time now.   Thanks to the below video, I learned how to draw from the basic shapes.  Now I see shapes in things that I want to draw.  Scyra also has more helpful videos of those that like drawing.

On to the Second Image

This weekend I did a lot of work on my second background image for Trapped.

I decided not to put much effort into the bottom of the background images like I did with the previous image.  What I like the most about doing these background images is that I'm forced to draw things I thought I would never have to draw in my life.  One of those things is scenery.  The next step is for me to start adding more detail and texture.  

Keep giving me feedback for the first image.  I'm using what was said in that post and applying it to this picture.

I did some concept art of the main character and explained this story to a few people face to face. So far, people are liking my ideas.  I just hope I can execute my ideas well.

Trapped (GXB) PROGRESS

I finished the first background image for Trapped.

Only problem is....that I'm not sure if I should add the underwater blur or not.  This game does have a a lot of underwater scenes.  Which one do you like better?  The pic on the left or the one on the right?  I do listen to comments, so don't be shy.
My work is never done, so on to the next background image.

I did some more world building and some doodles for the visual novel.  Since I can't do my artwork for Trapped at work, I continued the rough draft script for Ashes.  After talking to a friend, I decided to keep the setting on Mars and feared the amount of researching I'll have to do.  The visual novel will have five pairings.

From upper left to the right and to the bottom are the order of process.  Learning how to make artwork for a visual novel is a new experience for me.  It was brought to my attention that the Ren'py text boxes will be covering the bottom of my artwork.  Something that I new but did not think about all the way through.  Oh well...I'll see what I can do once this picture is fully colored.
