Illustration Techniques with Dave Dorman Vol. 2
Traditional Painting in Oils and Mixed Media
Description
This second title of a two-part series shows the development of a full-color illustration based on the pencil art from the previous title. Dave demonstrates his techniques for completing the illustration using a multitude of media including oil paints, acrylics, colored pencils, markers and more, all on one piece of art. He shows a variety of methods for manipulating the paint and discusses color theory and dynamic lighting techniques in relation to the drama and action of the scene. He also shows how fine detailing and loose texturing both have a place in drawing the eye around the art. In this lecture, Dave emphasizes experimentation with painting techniques not only to achieve the desired result but also to effectively meet the deadline of a commercial illustration project.
