Digital Painting: Light and Color in Photoshop

“Thank you so much for participating in this course and for having gone through the entire learning plan that I have prepared for you! Remember to follow the steps you learned to complete the following processes: Blocking Create silhouettes of the main elements to be able to work with meaningful brush strokes without losing shapes. Mockup Sketch and build a guiding thought for the final painting. Pre-painting and painting Generate arbitrary colors to enrich your final painting. Render and effects Cut your shapes and apply effects to consider whether your piece is finished or not.

Good luck! I hope you've gained enough baggage to look at the world. Even if in your execution you choose more deconstructed styles, communicating with the world and absorbing in a technical way will enrich your practice. Remember to study. None of this is different from school. As you redo and take on more difficult problems, the drawing will become easier and more enjoyable. Tips I give: 1 - Ask questions (books, other colleagues, videos). Don't be afraid to be the boring artist who annoys others. Whoever bothers with so little doesn't deserve your concern. You only have one life to make it count. But don't be offended if they don't respond. People are busy too. The chances of it being a personal problem are very low. 2 - Detachment. Do studies in quantity. All art is dated. Understand this and move on to another without preciosity. Otherwise, you will get stuck in mistakes and never stop being a "sketch artist". 3- Always have a sketchbook. Don't create rituals to study. Only knife. And sometimes the question of studying more and posting less. 4- Look for a healthy environment of artists stimulated to learn. Strong alliances are important. Identify: Does your group pull you down or up? 5 - Don't just stay in fashion. When you reach it, you won't have so many laurels, as it will be ahead. Life is short. Study what interests you in some way. Study like those who go shopping by adding what they need. 6 - Live. Experience things. The freshness of your stories will be printed on paper if combined with the resources you study to execute. I wish you good paintings and as much as you study technically, remember the "I" in your work! Drawing is a language. You artist, have you thought about what you need to say today? Gather your main images and share your project with the particularities of your process. To publish it, just click the "Create your project" button. Your publication will be part of your portfolio here at Domestika and will be a space for you to showcase your work in the community. Sharing experiences with other people can be very enriching. So use the forum space a lot to share ideas. Take the opportunity to network and meet new ideas! Join the forum. I'll see you there! ”

“Final project Hi! First of all, I would like to bring some thoughts that would be useful for the Paulinho of the past, that will definitely be useful to you too. I will speak as a rule, but feel free to disagree. An artist is a sum of several elements and it is important to remember that your art will never be exempt from you. All the time we suffer from market influences and many times we neglect our own imagination. Feeling is often an extremely valuable tool to express anything. Therefore, living and experiencing is a great raw material for your art. I also recommend that you segment you...”
