For the assignment I used 4 types of lighting and I tried to use some of the ideas from the previous lessons on color: 1. Warm monochromatic with sunset light from the right. I used 2 references for this one: Reference 1: Blade Runner 2049 (2017), the very orange / yellow scenes in Vegas. Reference 2: Gerry (2002), sunset shot, similar colors to the Blade Runner reference. 2A. Cool monochromatic night with soft moonlight from the left. Reference: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), the scene with the weird walker things. 2B. Cool monochromatic night w/ NOMAD. Reference: The Creator (2023), the lighting / color reminded me of the night shot in the movie with the NOMAD laser beam thing, so added it for fun. 2C. Cool monochromatic night w/ fog. 3. Complementary palette with afternoon light from the left. Reference: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 4. Double split complementary palette with evening light from the right. Reference: Brother Bear (2003). Here's a link to the PSD file in case it will make it easier for the critique: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HGm1aGF6ewKN0SmMn0UbYX8rtjkuRnv2/view?usp=sharing Great lessons! Thanks Jeremy!

ASSIGNMENTS

Using the provided reference images, create a digital painting that showcases your understanding of light and shadow by painting light from different angles.

  • Experiment with sunlight from left and right, soft light, depth, and atmosphere.
  • Study how photos, illustrations, and films use color and fog, then apply that to your images.

Good luck, and remember to have fun exploring digital painting techniques!

I study lights of day. This is supposed to be dawn, sunrise and goldenhour (morning)

BONUS: I put the NOMAD laser layer over the first painting and I thought it was a cool effect!

I used the church in my hometown Ingolstadt to create a setting and then play with different lights and atmosphere. We have a clear autumn day, we have night, we have fog and we have Godzilla. Happy Godzilla day, by the way. Today is his 70th birthday :). Kind regards!

I wonder when is the deadline, but I created three paintings first as warm-ups anyway: 1-1 The animal in a dark room with pale ambient light from the left side. 1-2 Sunset light through a window. 2 1 Very cloudy mountains. I'll post to try other lighting situations later!
