The first set of thumbnails were created in 10 minutes and were the first few things that popped into my head when thinking of environments. At first I started to think of objects that were with the theme of my Game Design Document but found that this was stifling my creativity.

On this set of thumbnails I decided to stick to buildings and tried to use the strong lines in buildings to create some more experimental thumbnails. There are some I feel that work and others that don't, these took around 20 minutes.

The first image is similar to a piece I created in a program called Alchemy, I then quickly drew it into photoshop and began to work from that, soon I had created a small flower but that quickly progressed into 15 small thumbnails. The last ones are quick sketches that were more random. These took around 10 minutes.

At first I designed these thumbnails around plants and flowers trying to stick to a nature theme, I then progressed onto suns and moons just to progress and change things up. I keep coming back to drawing buildings for some reason, I feel this is because I enjoy drawing buildings due to their strong lines and distinctive shape. These took around 15 minutes.

These are the last of the thumbnails, again I found myself continuing with buildings as soon as my pen hit the tablet.. My favourite drawing is in this final set, I tried to be creative and think of picturesque scenes in places that I have been or had thought of. These took around 25 minutes.
