Description
You will begin by knowing the method of work of Patricio Betteo and the tools that he usually uses to give shape to his illustrations and the shortcuts that help him to be more efficient in his work.
Your first approach to digital painting will be through pixel art, first in grayscale and, later, using different color ranges.
You will learn how to use the Photoshop brushes, you will know which ones are Patricio's favorites and you will create your own set of artistic brushes.
Then, you will start working in high resolution, starting with making a still life, where you will learn to work the lights and shadows.
Using photographic references, you will discover how to work with the chromatic circle, the analogous, complementary colors and the way to balance the tonal palette of your works.
Finally, you will do a realistic painting exercise, where you must display all your creativity when painting.
