Minor Project: Style Experiments

Today I have been experimenting with style, and taking Alan advise to take parts of the painting and design them separately. So that I can then build the scene out of all the objects, I have designed.  

Also I tried to through the logic out of the window, this is something I really struggled with, trying to forget about the details and just just focus on shapes. 

Still think that I need to play around with different brushes, softness, harshness, opacity, noise etc to define the style that I can then take to use to create my character.
