Week 2 (14/04/2023)

The game choice is fine, just make sure to be concise on the layout and them, although you want to create a new map from this, make sure it is correctly built. Proceed to start drawing your characters along with the thumbnail sketches. 

Week 4 (28/04/2023)

Make sure when presenting the proposal, it's not only words and mood boards, try and sell the idea to your clients if you can. That way it will also give you some sort of a reference to your clients.

Week 5 (5/5/2023)

When drawing don't use a textured brush, only use it to finalize your work. Don't forget to include your shadows and highlights etc...
