Sweet tip: when rendering rusted steel, analyze the base color and distribution of rust. Try this step-by-step to familiarize yourself with this material!
Correcting the date: Join us Sat 27 Apr to practice the mannequin approach to construct and pose the figure in space, with @AxelSauerwald and @Mathias__Osland. It's a simple way to create and pose any character! Event takes place in Discord: discord.gg/Nt9BW7h4ZY
Did you know that without reflected light, we wouldn't be able to see at all in the shadows? Once you understand reflected light, you'll be able to create more realistic elements and scenes.
Do it yourself: try this simple exercise to render a wood texture that looks interesting and dynamic!
Did you know that light is a powerful storytelling tool? The intensity of light can make or break the mood in illustration, film, photography and more! Uncover the secrets of Light and Value: visign.com/courses/light-…
Cool tip of the day: use separation of background elements, value contrast and saturation to create stunning paintings!
Great lighting enhances mood and facilitates visual storytelling. To create great stories, you must understand how light influences value and color. Axel breaks down light and value in his course: visign.com/courses/light-…
Tip of the day: here are some common negative & positive space ratios and the effect they produce on the viewer.
Positive & negative space is a contrast-type principle - a contrast in values (light & dark) which creates readability in artworks.
Tip of the day: split your environment into fore-, mid- and background to create a clear value structure, and use the principle of rhythm to guide the viewer through the environment!
Tip of the day: apply gesture, big-medium-small and shape variety to create more interesting prop designs.
Gesture is a key method of capturing ideas and conveying intentions quickly. Let's have a look at some important aspects to know about gesture. The figure drawings here were done by our artists in our recent drawing sessions on Discord!
Ideation is an essential part of the artistic process - let's have a look at 3 ways to generate ideas. If you want to improve your ideation sketching, we have a free material on that on our website (this post covers just a small part of it): visign.com/downloads/visi…
Design inspiration of the day: have a look at how gesture, design and stylization are applied in this character. Every design choice is consciously made to enhance the character's story.
We warmly invite you to a figure drawing session Saturday 8PM CET, hosted by @Mathias__Osland and @AxelSauerwald. Draw along and share your drawings after the session - check out Mathias's drawings from our previous event! Join the Discord Event: discord.gg/Nt9BW7h4ZY
This second (and last) part of this character design process covers refinement, coloring and rendering. This is just the tip of the iceberg - check out Mathias's course for full details and considerations in each step of the character design process: visign.com/courses/basics…
Tip of the day: be most critical in the first 10 minutes of sketching, when it's easier to think critically and make big changes quickly. This will set the foundation for the final artwork.
Did you know this character design process? Mathias explains the process in full detail, including insights from his own experience as character designer, in his course: visign.com/courses/basics…
Hey guys, I'm opening up commissions for the first time! DM me if you're interested and I appreciate any shares
Tip of the day: the principle of repetition creates a sense of cohesion and unity in an artwork. Check out how to repeat shapes, details, contours to create unity in this character design!
