Skill level:Beginner
Language:English
Exercise files:Yes
A unique class using color theory to inspire character design.
This course starts with a look at how artists (of all kinds) put color to use. Then, a brief study in what makes cartoon color so unique. Once our mind gears are turning, we’ll jump into Photoshop CC with a class project that will give you the tools and techniques necessary to bring more vibrancy to your drawings.
Here are the topics I’ll be covering:
- A brief history of color and art
- A look at how color communicates
- The fundamentals of using color in cartooning
- Planning for color while sketching and inking
- Block coloring in Photoshop CC
- Refining the hues, saturation and value of an image
- Color lighting techniques (line color and rim light)
All you’ll need for this class is a basic understanding of Adobe Photoshop CC (most older versions will work too).
