This is a collection of sketches and designs for a world building project I worked on during the first few weeks in Ahmed Aldoori's class. Follwoing general design prinicples and a structured process we created props, vehicles, architecture, plants, environments and finally characters.

It was an invaluable experience to meet him in person after years of drawing along his videos.
Not only did he provide insights into professional design approaches – from research and ideation to final rendering – he also offered helpful advice on a personal level.
