About the video: Base color, lights and shadows
Overview

As always, we will leave for the end all the small details and imperfections that will give realism to our 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.
