I've been doing a number of painting tests to try to get to grips with the bamboo forest I have to make.
A quick bamboo painting to see if the character would sit well with the colouring. I prefer this theme of colour palette and I like how loose it is but I don't know how that will feel when it comes to animating.
another loose style getting a feel for colours.
In this next one I was experimenting more with using a wide range of greens, trying to add depth and get away from the flat look I was having. I think it's working better.
Same as above but I first tried it without lines. While I like the style I don't think it'll fit together with my characters. I feel it needs to have an outline since they'll be having one.
I tried this one using one shade of green and one textured brush. I wasn't too happy with how flat it looks.
