About the video: Base color, lights and shadows
Overview
“In this lesson I will teach you to paint the base color and define the outline of a more complex element than in the previous unit; in this case we will paint each part of our element in a different layer; the more complex the element to be illustrated, the more layers we will need. Once the base colors have been defined and the contours created, we will block the alpha channel and begin to simulate the volume by adding the shadows first and the lights later. At the end of this lesson you have to have a rubber object that looks three-dimensional, not a flat figure (this visual game will be achieved through the use of shadows and lights) ”
In this video lesson Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo addresses the topic: Base color, lights and shadows, which is part of the Domestika online course: Realistic Painting and Illustration with Procreate. Learn to digitally draw with your iPad and your fingers.

“In this lesson, we are going to work on the figure that will most stand out in the composition, the rubber figure.

A course by Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo
Jaime Sanjuán is a digital designer, illustrator, and painter. He studied fine art at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, where he learned traditional artistic techniques such as oil painting, pastels, clay modeling, etc. However, he decided to swap his brushes and studio for an iPad and the Procreate app, which give him the possibility to explore countless techniques without needing much space and using only his fingers.
Jaime has always been fascinated by realist and hyperrealist painting. It's this aesthetic that he always seeks in his paintings and illustrations, which are full of double meanings and impossible realities. This very particular vision and a highly refined technique have earned him international recognition such as the Communication Arts Award, the American Illustration Award, and the Latin American Illustration Award, enabling him to see his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
