Apple Book Scenes

I’ve decided to try making some purely digital scenes for my apple character. Because I found a photo I liked as the inspiration, I’m starting on what will be the third scene / page where he first wanders away from his tree. I’m not going for an exact replica of the orginal, but a simplified, kid friendly interpretation. My scene will also have to be seen from a lower point of view. There’s some real work ahead making the barn and figuring out how best to create a forest of pine trees.

Put a few planes and texture them with trees.
