Hey everyone. :)
Today's post is a brief overview of Bobby Chiu's digital painting course on Schoolism and the work I did for the first lesson: visualizing through darkness.
Block IN
I've had great fun in attempting this first assignment, It taught me not only patience but the unique process of layering paint using opacity and flow levels to create subtle variation of tone.
I really like how Bobby breaks his process down and explains how he thinks during his demonstration, its easy to follow and a great exercise to get the feel of working digitally for beginners. He has even provided us with files and reference to help with the assignments. so we can get focused on the the main objectives of the lesson.
Light dark light
The process mainly involves painting with low opacity and flow and gradually building the values up with tone gradation. He also suggests switching up between dark and light layers and building up layers slowly to create a more subtle transition of forms and tones.
Light direction and details
Once the basic shadows and light patches are applied, the details such as wrinkles and highlights are layered on top with light direction in consideration.
Once I thought I had done enough for the assignment, i thought i challenge myself and create my own image and follow the same process to see what I have learned and accomplished.
Muscle Man needs a Partner
Overall I was pleased with the new knowledge i have gained and learn't a great deal during this first class. I would highly recommend trying out this first assignment, especially for beginners because it really gets you to slow down and think about the form and think about areas of light/dark.
Thats it for this week blog post, let me know if you enjoyed it and found it helpful in the comments,
