BG layout design and painting - Os Carabao

These are some of the layout sketches and background paintings I've done for the show "Os Carabao", a cartoon set in a supermarket, where products such as rice, pasta, fruits and so on become alive after the market is closed. Some settings for the show include the freezer, main characters houses and other food aisles.

The art direction for this show is a "stylized photorealism". First there is a sketch, then color blocking, adding pictures for texture and finally painting over to create the mood, light and shadow.
