About the video: Unifying the light and final effects
Overview
“Once we have all the elements of the scene finished, we must unify the light and add small details to improve the realism of the final scene. By duplicating layers and Gaussian blur I will teach you that the elements are not cut out on the background of the scene. I will teach you how to paint hairs and we will use new brushes to paint the back wall. But that is not all! As an extra, I'm going to add some candles to the scene to teach you how to paint fire and smoke;) you'll see how good it is. ”

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.
