The emotional intent of the space is achieved by selecting a supportive camera angle (composition), proper lighting (color palette) and appropriate atmosphere. Often the choices are rather experimental, but because the drawings go very quickly, I end up doing several drawings of the same space, or several paintings with varying color palettes in order to see the best options. Here are some examples of interior space concept illustrations I’ve done over the years:
