I've been doing these rough background sketches to practice background design and improve my intuition for perspective.

I've come to love doing these, and they're helping me improve too!

It reminded me of one of my favorite books from childhood Round Trip by Ann Jonas, which I’ve held on to since. Read to end and then flip as well. All images are pretty brilliantly drawn in stark black and white. Really sweet. Hard to appreciate properly without flipping the images yourself!

Not one, but two waterfalls: 'Tintin au Congo' (v.o. 1930-1931), and 'Le Temple du Soleil' (1946-48).
