In this course, we will be working with posing, lighting, and rendering digital components inside Daz Studio with references to the model poses, as well as looking for the best way to create digital photos that can be used in our compositing work.
After importing created assets into Photoshop, we will be combining them into the digital artwork by using different techniques with blending modes, overlays, retouching, and more.
This course was created for beginners and intermediate artists, but even advanced users will learn some techniques.
The theme for this art is inspired by classical mythological painting. Techniques and colorization in post-work can be easily applied to many different types of your artwork to help elevate it to the classical look.
The course is split into 7 video parts, plus additional resource files that help you to follow along with the tutorials.
