How to Practice Composition: Class Exercises and Demonstration- Level 1: Existing pose, arrange objects with the line of visual direction - Level 2: Using frameworks/guidelines to arrange character & background - Level 3: Extract framework/lines of directions from illustrations & replace with other things

11. Deep Dive into Lighting!- Why can it be (and better be) separated with colors? - All about shape & value - Value = light + shadow + mid tone + AO + reflected light - Shadow vs Cast shadow - Negative Space and Silhouette: Less is more! - Function of Lighting: How shape and value work hand in hand to show form! - Illustrating and analyzing with good & bad examples

12. Let There Be Light in Our Drawings!- Designing lighting in the final illustration - Shadow vs Cast shadow

13. Practice Designing Better Lighting Shapes- Level 1: Photo study with levels layer (human-focused) - Level 2: Photo study without adjustment layer (human-focused) - Level 3: Photo/drama/film screenshots study (human + background)

14. Basic Rules of Colors- My own very hopeful & encouraging story - Cool colors, warm colors, complementary colors, and analogous colors - Color palette & color ratio & mood - Value & contrast in bringing focus (visual direction) - Some examples

Storytelling through Color: Realistic Approach- 2 Approaches: Realistic vs Stylized - Realistic approach: By telling time of day, easily believable - Stylized approach: Relying more on the palette & its connotation - Mood & time of day & storytelling - Ambient light & bounce light & AO - Illustration/painting examples

16. Storytelling through Color: Stylized Approach- Emphasizing more chosen color palettes & less local values - Making use of connotations or emotions related to a certain color (mostly subjective) - Playing wildly with color! - Color saturation & tips to enrich color - Using past work to illustrate how I did
