Advanced Lighting - Lessons VIII & IX

I hope you all had a great Holiday Season! Here's a bit of an after Christmas art dump for you guys.

First of all here's Lesson VIII & IX of Advanced Lighting -  Water and Light and Human Experience


I didn't have much time on either of these two and I'm not overly pleased with my work on Lesson 8, though the theory I learnt for painting water will be invaluable. I'm pretty happy Lesson 9 however, time spent on that one about 4 hours.

That's it for Advanced Lighting \o/

I just have to say it's been a fantastic course and I've learnt a tonne...now the trick is to keep it all in my head ;)

Advanced Lighting - Lesson VII

One down, two to go! Here's Lesson 7 of Advanced Lighting - Light in Atmosphere. Lines by Sam Nielson. 

Advanced Lighting - Lesson VI

Proof I am not yet dead! Here's Lesson 6 for Advanced Lighting - Skin. Once again the lines were by the awesome Sam Nielson, I just did the painting. 

Advanced Lighting - Lesson V

Here's Lesson 5 - Hair and Fur. For this one we got the base of the muppet monster and were asked to paint on the hair and fur.

Advanced Lighting - Lesson IV

My take on Lesson 4 of my Schoolism course - Translucent Properties. Glass is a bugger to paint, let me tell you. 

Advanced Lighting - Lesson III

It's been a bit of a while between posts but I finally got some time today to work on Lesson 3 of Advanced Lighting. Yay! So here's my assignment for Specular Reflectance & Painting the Unseen. Only 6 more assignments to go ;)

Advanced Lighting - Lesson II

My second assignment for Lesson II - Light & Surface Colour

Advanced Lighting - Lesson I

Earlier this week I finally enrolled in a class over at Schoolism that I've been wanting to take for over a year now - Advanced Lighting. It's taught by the incredibly awesome Sam Nielson, who's blog I've been following before I even really knew what a blog was. Go take a look at his stuff now!

 I'm only one lesson in at the moment but already I'm more excited about it than before I started - (who knew learning about light could be so much fun ;) )

Here's my assignment for Lesson 1 - Properties of Light & Advanced Lambertian Reflection. I won't say too much about the lessons themselves except to say that so far they've been great and I'm rearing to go for the next.
