Thumbnailing for Trees and Prairie Rabbits

I did some similar thumbnailing studies on trees or landscapes where there are trees to study how different forests might look.  The opening scene of Project Apricot takes place through a forest.  In the next post, the first attempt at the forest scene was done before this study.  And the subsequent attempt was done after.  Again you can see the huge different it makes to have some practice and have some reference.

This felt really good to open up my mind and refresh my imagination so I can spice up the opening scene.  And also, trees are amazing!

Also, here is an attempt to thumbnail for the opening of Prairie Rabbits.  I didn't get too far, but it was a nice little challenge to myself.
