Description
After the student has assimilated the knowledge bases of traditional painting, during the first year, he will deepen in digital painting applying this knowledge to the realization of digital works, learning to use his own software and techniques for the development of digital painting. The main goal of this course is to offer, show and practice the digital painting tools that Photoshop offers, to get the most out of it as a painting tool, as well as a better understanding of how light works on objects and characters. Basic and advanced knowledge of color theory, pictorial composition and understanding of light will also be transmitted. The ultimate goal is to create a digital background / scene for a character previously created in the subjects of Digital Drawing and / or Digital Sculpture in the first semester.
