How to Get to the Heart of Every Painting

Consider subscribing to my channel, and here's my Lightbox Expo 2020 talk! Big thanks to our sponsor Schoolism Online Art Classes, check out my class list at: www.schoolism.com/online-art-...
I also meant to mention that the visuals of Wonder Park were under the direction of our Production Designer, the great Fred Warter. (Sorry, no current website for him, he's too busy!)

Nathan, thanks for this. I am a learning artist and I am only 73 years young. :)

Thanks all for asking about the eye, no not cosplay :) The whole story is in last year's LightBox talk, it’s right here in the first playlist.

What he shows at 1:30 is exactly what it's like working in games. Sometimes they give it to you & it's grey or just geometry lol. Artists have this idea that everything is either blue sky meaning you can do whatever you want, or it's designed in detail in pre-production & you'll just render existing scenes. That does happen, but in games at least the majority of the time you're given something & it's actually a lot harder than creating independently

I also wholeheartedly recommend all of James Gurney's books, especially the art instructional books Color & Light & Imaginative Realism. For me, Gurney's books are to painting what George Bridgeman's books were to drawing

Where is the jam. Session for today? I can't seem to find it

What happened to your eye!!! be safe!

[@quizzicalsmudge877]

I thought the left to right thing was because of the way we read. Which is why it is the other way round in Japanese media cause their language is written left to right.

How on earth did you finish 30 of those a week??

[@EverInTheShadows]

Hope your eye is ok! (Unless you're just cosplaying as a pirate)
