You'll explore how light and color interact, mastering highlights, shadows, color choices, lighting forms, and painting cast shadows. Concepts like hue, value, saturation, ambient light, subsurface scattering, glowing objects, and still-life painting are covered to add depth and realism to your art.
The basics of color theory are also covered, including understanding color temperature, creating color palettes, controlling mood through color, and using tools like gamut masking. These lessons are critical in helping you develop a nuanced and sophisticated approach to color application in your digital paintings.
Layer techniques form an integral part of digital art, and you'll learn to navigate these with proficiency. The course includes lessons on layer basics, organization, modes, masks, and the fundamentals of composition. You'll also explore tools like selection, fill, gradient, blur, warp, filters, adjustment layers, and gradient mapping for a seamless painting workflow.
Brush control, blending, edge control, blocking-out techniques, and still life paintings are practical skills that will be enhanced through practice sessions within the course. Surface textures such as shiny, rough, matte, glossy, and translucent surfaces are also explored, allowing you to create diverse and realistic textures in your paintings.
The course culminates in specialized sessions on painting portraits, landscapes, environment designs, and character designs. You'll learn to sketch, block in shapes, refine values, work with textures, lighting, and add finishing touches to your artwork. The final segments extend into character design, idea development, creative exercises, and leveraging layers for variations.
Finally, you'll gain insights on how to create a portfolio and effectively use social media to showcase your digital art. By the end of this course, you'll be well on your way to becoming a proficient digital painter, ready to create and share your artistic vision with the world.
