Homework for May1st.

This week you should be starting on your final.  You will have two weeks for this.  The final can be done using any of the techniques we've covered in class, including mixing hand done with digital, all from reference, or life, nothing from your imagination.  It must include more than two figures, and a complex space, with more than one light source.  For example, a room with a lamp and a window, or a room with one or more light source, and an open doorway with another room visible, and another light source in the other room.  Everyone must bring these in progress to class, no excuses.  Also remember to catch up on any old assignments, don't put them off until the end, because you will not have enough time to do all of your work the last week.

Homework for April 17

For this week you will still be integrating hand drawn with computer painted, all still from life or referenced, not from imagination. This week you will have to leave you brushes on 100% opacity. You may use textured brushes, you may use multiple layers at various opacities, but the brushed cannot be used at less than 100%.

Homework for April 11

This week you should be merging a tonal drawing, done in graphite, charcoal, ink wash, etc...
Just non-linear, with a digital painting. It can be a drawing of a figure, merged with a painted ground, you can create elements of the environment in drawing and paint the rest. The drawing is to be colored digitally using the techniques I showed you last week. Consider using blend layers set to color modes such as overlay, lighten, multiply, and consider using brushes set to those same blend modes.. Look at the work of Adi Granov, Sam Weber, or Owen Freeman.
