Environment Thumbnails!

Thumbnails! Thumbnails! Thumbnails! these little sketches are probably one of my favourite things to do in 2D and when it comes to environments, I think this process of 'flushing out' ideas is one of the most important parts of the process.

The objective when sitting down to sketch these quick and rough ideas, is quantity... the more you do the better. The first ones will most likely be the worse ones and the 'less original' ones as you are just warming up and getting into the zone. I did quite a few horrible doddles before I even started recording the quick sketches I did for the timelapse of this post.
