SECOND DRAFT

The second draft started a lot better, I went straight to painting this time and used a digital oil brush to create the painted feel in the clouds and sky. This is more other style I was going for compared to the last draft, this piece was a lot more free and I felt like I was painting rather than placing.

Adding more details in the middle ground and the foreground started to help bring the image together. I used the custom shape tool for the plants in the foreground and created my own shapes to place there. I adjusted the transparency of some of them to bring more depth of levels.

I added even more detail onto the foreground and I liked the image but I still feel like there was something missing, but wasn't too sure what it was.

This is the final rendition of it and I like it but I don't love it. I think that I overdid it in the end I added too many elements like the debris and the light streaks etc. overpowered the image. I sent it to Farid and he liked it, but said the girl with the white gown was a bit cliche and that I need to change up the fashion. But this constructive feedback helped me because I actually started to forget that it was for a fashion book and was focused more on the background rather than the model. So I decided to take a step back and work on different types of landscapes and gather more inspiration as I realised I wasn't doing this as much as I should have been.
