This book offers a deep dive into designing imaginative environment art for the entertainment industry: using light, colour, composition, and perspective to create impactful landscapes and locations that immerse the viewer. With a mix of theory, tutorials, and insightful, often funny, anecdotes from his career across many high-profile studios, author-artist Nathan Fowkes makes this challenging subject accessible for artists of every skill level. The discerning chapters inside include those on the environment-development process, the emotional language created by shapes and colours, and the design of landscapes, interior spaces, props, architecture, atmosphere, and weather. Nathan also takes readers step-by-step through his own successful process and demonstrates how to achieve the ‘wow’ factor that will make your work stand out. Most of the featured art has been created digitally by Nathan himself, with some examples sketched in pencil and paint. With a luxurious hardback finish and hundreds of inspiring full-colour artworks, Designing Imaginative Environments is an essential resource for any environment artist’s shelf.
