Here are some of my thumbnail sketches (Sorry for the last 4 I was a bit worn out) The 5 concepts are Dragon laying under the starry night sky, an Asian person drinking tea under the night sky, a Person sitting on a sofa watching out the window, a person laying in bed/cloud, and lastly a person or bear sleeping in a bed with a night sky background.
Jerry nice work! Consider before class which ones out of these thumbnails are you most excited about? Gather the reference you will need to begin sketching them in detail!
