This is where you’ll find all the developmental stages from looking at mood boards, thumbnail sketches, concept art, colour testing, receiving feedback, developing on those iterations and then finally the final product which myself and my team have come to an agreement.

As there was no indication to how Violet’s bedroom would look I had some creative freedom, so instantly I went to Pinterest to start creating my mood board for any ideas I had. When considering Violet’s bedroom I always had her character in the back of my mind and tried to create a mood board which I felt would suit her personality.

When reading through Violet’s character inspiration, 2000’s fashion was mentioned so I decided to go and make a mood board regarding 2000’s style bedroom but with a slightly modern twist to it and here was the outcome of that.

When sketching up Violet’s room I took huge inspiration from an artist called @Jennchube whose Instagram I’ll include below. Her style felt very fitting for the environment that I was trying to create and so with a couple of tweaks here and there I was able to produce what you’re going to see below.
