About the video: Painting the Illustrations with Mixed Media
Overview
“Now that the sketch is done, we will start painting the face and figure. But before we dive in I will explain to you values and shading. We will separate the values into three: light, medium, and dark and this can be in any color. This simplified way of seeing values and shadows can help you tackle rendering to help you achieve a more 3D look. And once you get better at values you can add midtones into your work by using the following: light, light-medium, medium, medium-dark and dark. This takes a bit of practice but would be incredibly helpful to achieve a rendered look for your illustrations. ”
In this video lesson Domestika addresses the topic: Painting the Illustrations with Mixed Media , which is part of the Domestika online course: Guided Course: Fashion Illustration with Mixed Media Techniques. Learn how to combine traditional drawing and collage techniques to create a dynamic fashion illustration.
