●Visual research

I searched some examples for inspiration by Pinterest as usual. For first and second one is already drawn like this with water color or something. It is really kind to see and emotional I think because there are warm color tone and not clear shapes are showing relax and chilling. And third one is just I was interested in because I wondered how the buildings is composed and couldn't avoid looking. I mean I just focused on the darkness but also feeling community of them who lives in there. For the last one is that I thought it is good idea to draw the place with some fantasy elements like this. For this time, I would like to try this way of drawing.

●Idea exploration

 

So for my design, I selected these pictures. It can see nature and good color tone to show warm, kind and so on.

Then I draw rough sketch. One for place, one for the elements to put on.

After I sketch, I draw in Illustrator. I tried to create imaginary design with non real images. Then, I design it with picture in Photoshop. I tried to express watercolor painting.

●Final design

I tried to draw simple that is why it is not complicated and clear to see with warm color tone. I used the tool to blur because it can be like watercolor painting. 

●Feedback from lecture

 I could learn how to see place in art way. As usual, I enjoyed Dr Charles's lecture. I really like his lecture because I can feel free to learn and know a lot of things I didn't know.

●Brief reflections for this week

 For this task, I could notice how beautiful places are in Japan again. I supposed that I should appreciate for these environment arounds me. Also I could know how is interesting to draw places like forest.
