My Green Age Art Update 1: Leaves
First on my list of upgrades: the concept art for leaves that would later be modeled in Blender for the future drafts. My initial drawings were quickly slapped down concepts that focused on silhouettes and what shapes our main plant leaves could be. But now was a great time to revisit these building blocks and expand on the first draft in a 2D format.

With these new versions I used richer, darker colors to make the highlights pop, and tried something new with the pitch black shading at the bottoms of each leaf. Without having to worry about time constraints or keep it simple for the sake of it only being quick reference for later 3D modeling, I was able to make these into more elegant and complex paintings made and meant for 2D only.
