Read pgs 106-127 (Graphic LA)
Read Chapter 8: Visual Perception (Color and Light)
From Graphic LA, I learned about the process of putting details from the basic shape step by step and saw some value thumbnails. As the artist said, finding 3 basic shapes, values, and levels is the most important to start painting. From something simple to complicated, the stage of painting works great in that way. Also, his thumbnails of value composition is great with the simple shape of the block and added some details later.
From Color and Light, I learned about colors specified in moonlight, edges and dept, color oppositions, color constancy, adaption and contrast, and appetizing and healing colors. This chapter is necessary for me these days because I need to learn about moonlight for one of my assignments in this class. I went to New York Field Trip from the Illustration program, and I went to visit Blue Sky Studio. After we looked around the entire studios, we could go see some parts of the new film they are making. Before we watched it, color key artist Mike Lee came and gave us a lecture about the process he has done. One of the color keys was a scene with moonlight, which is what I need to learn for the Harry Potter illustration. I thought his lecture was so useful and the right one that I had to learn. I really thank him! And this chapter reminded me about the moonlight as well, so I learn it better than before.
