Environment 4

This is my environment with all the wood panelling done and some more colours blocked in.


Next I want to add a fence, the outer walls look to small and for a rooftop cafe that just looks unsafe. I looked at some Japanese style fences and I found these four that were pretty cool.

I tried all four of them roughly on a small section of my image.
The shape of the fence I like best is the third one becuae it has the most interesting shapes and I like how it dips in the middle and none of it is quite straight but I want it to be more open, I think I'll use that one but change it a bit.


It took me a while to get the fence looking how I wanted but I do think it looks quite good, next is the shed roof. 
I found a texture of felt that you use for shed roofs.

I used this texture but changed the brightness and contrast to make it darker, so that it stands out more against the lightness of the wood.


I want to add the night sky next. What I was originally hoping to do for this was take a good photo of the night sky a few weeks ago when I went camping, unfortunately it rained for the whole weekend so I couldn't do that.
These are two images of the sky that I like.

I tried them both out in my image.



I prefer my first attempt because there are more stars. I need to add some lights to my cafe and after adding the sky, I realised I have forgotten to add colour to my table cloths. Originally I was going to have them white but after seeing it dark because of the sky I have changed my mind, I don't want them quite that dark though.

I found these images of candles which I thought would be cute and looked for a Japanese style light for the wall and this was the best one.


I would like to do something with the inside of the shed but unfortunately I don't have time. I need to do the lighting in this image and then I am finished with it.
