Scumbling: This is the base coat of the flat where we blended sections of brick colors like red, yellow, and brown together. This base coat shouldn’t be mixed as well because that gives the bricks a more realistic look. The randomness of the color makes he bricks look more natural when put together instead of coloring each brick the same color.

Lining: This is the light grey lining of the bricks to draw the outline of the bricks. This line can be sort of thick because it can later be layered with shadow and highlights. These lines are drawn over all of the lines that we drew in the beginning so that we can layer more layers over it to make it look realistic.

Shadow/Highlights: The shadows and highlights show where the light is hit on the bricks to make the bricks look 3d. In this case, the light is hit in the top right corner so the highlights are drawn in the top and right inside of the lining. Therefore the shadow of the bricks are at the bottom left corner to show the sunlight is from the rightside.

Texture: The texture is added after the highlights and shadows are drawn to have another layer of the bricks to make it look 3d and realistic. In a real life situation, the bricks all have a rough texture to it, when we are making flats we have to make it as realistic as we can so we add texture. We used dark green as the texture and my partner and I painted the texture with a wet paint brush and mixed it out with a dry one.

Spattering: Spattering are the colorful dots that you can see splattered around the flat used to make the bricks have more variety. The dots look like what we see on old brick walls and it is created by using a big paintbrush and dipping it in the colors purple, green, and blue. Then you lightly tap the paintbrush on your finger to drop the paint balls on the flat.
