For this project, I created a Minecraft island inspired by an isometric grid-based image. I approached the work by carefully constructing the island layer by layer, starting with the base or midtone colors as my foundation. From there, I built upon this base, adding light and dark values on top to shape the form and create depth, allowing the island to take on a more dynamic and three-dimensional quality.

​

The process involved a lot of attention to detail and organization, and I found that utilizing layer channels was an essential part of the creative process. The ability to isolate different layers of color and shading allowed me to stay organized and ensure that each element of the island was intentionally placed. This method not only streamlined the work but also provided me with a clearer, more structured approach to creating the final piece.

​

Through this piece, I want my audience to understand the importance of organization and planning in digital art. By breaking down complex compositions into manageable layers, it becomes easier to focus on form, color, and light while maintaining a clear vision of the final outcome. I hope this process can inspire others to experiment with structure and technique in their own work.
