Lesson 2 - LIght and Shadow - Revisited

Haven't had much time for studying digital painting, but finally we are here :)

trying on some basic ligthing, back in the game, feeling like a n00b.

Lesson 2 - Light and Shadow
light and shadow render basics

lighting planes

actually did these "value planes" a while a go, really liked the rough clean brushstrokes.

painting the planes in directly, cutting the edges with the eraser, or was it a white brush with 100% opacity and hardness.

Form within Shape render variance

here I did the shape challenge from lesson 2. changing up the forms to make for some interesting lit angles. challenging but fun. really should do a thousand of these + study some material differences as well. 

Holyshitasaurus lit from different angles

a lit character / creature design from different angles. slightly more complex form with cast shadows as well. Don't really know if I am satisfied with it, not really happy with the brushstrokes here, don't know what happened, I suppose it's just been a while since I had some time to do digital painting. + I should have put more effort into simplifying the form planes.

Holyshitasaurus. Really looking forward to Jurrassic Park 4 I guess ;)

bare with me and stay tuned for lesson 3 somewhere in the future gap between all other daily do's.

cheers :D
