Building upon the foundation
of his first two DVDs, Dylan takes you through the entire matte
painting process, from pencil sketch to color study to final
rendering. He demonstrates many techniques he uses in production,
from various types of photo manipulation to hand painting methods.
Many challenges are addressed, such as skies, water, architecture,
linear perspective and atmospheric perspective. You will also
learn how to relight a painting as Dylan transforms a daylight
scene into a sunset shot. As an added bonus, the original photo
references and the final Adobe Photoshop® file are included
in this DVD-ROM.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
