Starting from the Sketch

Here stands a sketch Chad has created with pencil and paper. Lots of folks might think that the best way to get your pencil sketch into the computer is by using a electric scanner. Actually, the best way Chad likes to get his cartoon illustrations into the computer is by using his digital camera.

 

Using the Digital Camera

The best way Chad likes to get his cartoon illustrations into the computer is by using a digital camera.

 

"I like using the digital camera because it's easy and quick and I'm not to concerned about the quality when brining my illustrations into the computer!"

Setting up the Scene with Lights

Watch Chad as he sets up his canvas / scene with lights before he even starts to think about painting any of his characters.

 

In this training series Chad starts off by painting two light sources right onto the background canvas. On the right Chad paints in a very strong light to the right and also paints a soft blue light to the left.

 

"Before I start painting I want to see where my light sources are coming from before I get started with painting my characters.

 

Establishing the lights first allows me to see how the light will fall on the characters before I get started in painting them."

 

 

 

Bounce the Light and working with Shadows

In this training series Chad walks you step by step in how he applies light values and dark values to shade and light his characters.

 

The Right Color

Using the right colors while creating your highlights and your shadows allows his characters to pop off the page.

 

Bouncing the Light

Chad also demonstrate how he uses the light values and bounces the light off some of the shadow areas making it appear more realistic and dynamic.

 

The best part is when you learn this you can apply it to all of your work to give it more dimension and life!
