Moving on from creating my characters, I decided to start designing scenes for my animation. I watched a YouTube tutorial prior to creating my designs, so I could get a rough idea of how everything would work.

I began by creating the sky of the design using the gradient tool to get a night sky look in the background. I originally attempted to follow a tutorial to find an easy and efficient way to make stars, however the brushes I needed were not in-built into Adobe Illustrator and I didn’t have the money in order to purchase new brushes. Therefore I set about making many different elipse shapes and altered their position, scale and opacity to vary them in the sky.

I also added different features such as hills. mountains and clouds into the scene so that it was not so plain. I later add shadows and darken certain colours dependent on where the light would be coming from within the scene.
