How to Render Matte Surfaces 3
Shading Complex Curved Surfaces with Scott Robertson
Introduction
Description
On this last of three titles in the Matte Surface rendering series, Scott shares with you the complex curved surface shading techniques he has been teaching for over a decade. He explains a logical and technical approach to assigning values to simple curved panels. Using Nupastel chalk and Vertithin-Prismacolor pencils, he shows various lighting strategies you can use to light and render complex curved surfaces of your own design. The curved surface examples increase in complexity by the end of the title, when the cover piece is rendered from start to finish. Finally, Scott demonstrates several quick vehicle value sketches, employing all of the knowledge learned from this series. This lecture is intended as a "must-watch" for beginners ready to take their skills to the next level, as well as a solid foundation for the more experienced artist/designer.
