Invisible Cities Thumbnails (Baucis)
Here are some more of my thumbnails for our Project Invisible Cities, Focusing on the city Baucis.
I imagined this city to be like the Elven Kingdom, Lothlorien in Lord of the rings, giving the city that mystical vibe and that fantasy element to it.
I however also imagined it as a city of tree house all made in unique and different ways so it created a mismatched appearance.
I like my second page of thumbnails more than my first as I like the lightness of my line and my use of grey to show different parts of the drawing so it isn't one mess of lines.
A quick tip - try and stop yourself from thinking about buildings as being 'cubes' with pointed roofs - like those little houses in Monopoly. Logically, I suspect that if the architects of Baucis were using trees and organic materials in terms of construction, I don't think they'd be building with right angles etc... wouldn't they be thinking a bit more like this?
