REFLECTIONS

This task was very educational and provided me with fundamental knowledge to proceed with my pre-production assignment. Through this assignment I learned essential topics like composition, value, perspective, painting skills and basic photo editing skills needed for digital matte painting. From the skills developed from the first 6 exercises I was able to easily do the final exercise invisible set extension which incorporates all the skills learned from the previous exercises. The final assignment is an intro base study to help me for the digital matte painting assignment for the final task. Overall my skills required for digital matte painting was strengthened through this exercise.
