“J.P. is one of the most
inspirational and creative artists I have ever
known, if I could only tap into 1/10th of that creative
stream of thinking.”

In this second of three DVDs, J.P.
takes you through the crucial middle-step of creating a black
and white tonal underpainting. He discusses his techniques
in detail while emphasizing composition, value and lighting.
You will learn how J.P. uses Adobe Photoshop’s painting
and transformation tools to quickly detail his backgrounds
with texture and pre-made original imagery. J.P. also shows
how visually embellishing the characters and scene will help
with the final color painting. Through this lecture you will
get an insight into J.P.'s thought process as he journeys further
into the world of the "Dark Riders" and continues
to develop the characters, creatures and story in the illustration.
Over 3 hours of lecture.
