Observational Drawing & Painting - Ryan Lang
https://ryanlangdraws.gumroad.com/l/AphJL
This is a very basic series. I can't stress that enough. The focus of these videos is my approach to doing studies for color, value, and drawing accuracy ONLY. I will cover how I approach doing a color study WITHOUT using the color picker.
Topics I cover in these 3 demos:
-Looking for landmarks in the reference to get more accurate proportions and a better drawing to start with.
-The importance of setting goals when doing studies.
-Seeing and drawing "shapes" not "things".
-An easy and structured way to figure out color/value landmarks that makes choosing colors more of an analytical process, less than a guessing game.
These studies are done with very simple brushes (included) and the focus is on accurate color, value, and drawing, NOT brushwork or stylization. Included are
-Three 1+ hour videos, done in realtime, with commentary.
-3 PSDs of the paintings with reference
-3 JPEGs of the final images
-1 ABR photoshop brush set of brushes used during the demo.
