Description

Have you ever wondered how you can achieve a smooth coloration when working with traditional media? Then this course is for you.My name is Olga Rogalski from Studio Oruga. I have published manga professionally and have been in love with manga for many many years.In this course I will show you my traditionl coloration technique. I am going to combine alcohol markers, colored pencils and pastels in ordert to create a manga illustration without hard lines.Mixed Media has not only the advantage of reducing the cost of materials but also it plays on the strength the material itself. Markers can be used in spots where a lot of smooth color transitions are required. Colored pencils can be used in order to add very small details. Pan Pastels allow for better blending and adding of subtle color hues. Some materials are great for being applied to bigger areas, others are great for very fine details. Knowing the power of each material gives you a lot more freedom when coloring your manga illustrations!In this course I will adress the coloration of eyes, skin, hair and clothing as well as provide you with an introduction to the materials and my working process.So let´s begin!
