About the video: Base color, lights and shadows
Overview
“In this lesson we are going to illustrate the oil in our oil pan. Being a transparent material is how to paint yellow glass, so everything you will learn here, you can apply to the next lesson. Actually the crystal (or oil) is not so complicated to illustrate; The process is very similar to the one you have already done with the rest of the elements of the scene. We will start painting with a base color its outline, we will block the alpha channel and we will make the areas of shadow and light areas normally. When the oil already has the desired tonalities ... the magic begins! you have to paint all the glitters that will give an absolute realism to our figure. In this lesson I will teach you how to use a very useful brush when you paint glass and I will teach tricks to make the reflections completely realistic. I just want you to be very careful with the layers, there will come a point where we will have a shine in each layer and, sometimes, it is easy to make a mistake of layering and painting where XD should not be. I have to confess that painting glass I love, seeing how the illustration is transformed when you start to shine the material is one of the most rewarding things (for me) of digital painting. ”

We started painting the glass. attach the previous layers, rename it as "Salero" so that everything is structured and we arméis a mess with the layers. In this layer, select an oil tone. As always we start with a medium tone, shooting to dark and light zones and brightness to the end. pa...”

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.
