Cora's Room- Cutaway Environment

I’m excited to share a project I worked on this past quarter from my Anatomy and Perspective class. It’s an environment that may or may not make its way to the comic!

The objective for this assignment was to create an “environmental cutaway environment” and had to include various easter eggs and objects to fill out the space.

Utilizing a 3-point perspective grid, it was like immersing myself in the Matrix while I worked. I feel a bit closer to Neo after taking this class. Now I see the world in perspective grids and vanishing points.
