Lighting Principles for Digital Painting

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• Take a look at the key tools you'll be utilising in Photoshop, as well as some shortcuts and brushes.
• To add more realism and consistency to your digital paintings, learn how soft light varies from hard light and how it impacts the items you depict.
• Learn how to distinguish different forms of light, choose your pictures, and start painting your first scene, a bright sunny day.
• Experiment with different light directions and go through ambient light, direct light, and bounce light.
• Learn about the different types of coloured lights that can be used in a room and how they can alter your environment.
• Working on the details will help you push the realism of your paintings even farther. To add more texture to your work, study the principles of reflection and translucency, then return to each scene to apply what you've learned and finish your five pictures.
