I finally completed my animation background and created a parallax shot. It took me a while to understand how to create the shot but I'm very happy with the result. Although I feel that with some more time I could have added some animation to the figure and also created the illusion of moving water or reflections, I'm still for the most part happy with how my work turned out, as I don't have much experience with drawing and painting environments and backgrounds. It was a lot of fun and has inspired me to practice drawing more background art over summer to improve.
I based the shot off of a photograph of Lake Luzern I took in Switzerland in 2016. I found it while looking through old files and thought the framing and angle of the shot was interesting, and also wanted to experiment with using a mainly blue-green colour palette, as normally I paint in warmer tones. A cooler environment was a lot of fun to paint, and I felt as though the cool temperature came across in the colours and lighting I used.
