There is so much talk about shading and contrast, but a very little about adding that extra light to your artworks. Light brings characters alive, sets the mood of the setting and adds that extra magic that makes your viewers go like… WOOOOW. :)The class has two main parts, in the first part we create the base illustration, and in the second apply the lighting hacks. You will have artistic freedom to either follow me through the whole illustration process or just light your own illustration up with the lighting techniques.Topics covered:Part 1.
