I had a problem understanding exactly what was required, so looked at some previous OCA illustration student blogs too. In my final artwork, the lighting doesn't make sense, the aim was for a moonlit night on the water but the sky throws it out. If I'd reversed the white sky, the sail would've disappeared. The aim of this I think is to either make the lighting work, or work with a pattern. I don't think I've achieved either but I do understand now how I would apply this differently to something else. For me this has been a definite learning curve.
