How does a landscape sketch become an explorable game environment? In this live session, game artist and educator Marion Plank transforms a nostalgic, Bavarian-inspired scene into a whimsical isometric level concept. Using the Wacom MovinkPad Pro 14, she sketches the world’s visible and hidden layers while exploring how composition, storytelling, and spatial design turn an illustration into a playable space.
