- Light plays a major role in enhancing images, drawing the viewer in, and holding their gaze. If you want your artwork to pop with stunning lighting, this course is your golden ticket! With Xiaofan’s easy method of using just TWO layer masks and blend modes, you’ll be shocked at how effortless painting light and shadows can be. She breaks down her process of creating the same artwork 13 times, each time using a different kind of lighting—from warm sunset glows to eerie neon vibes. Imagine painting sunlight that looks so real you can almost feel the warmth, or moonlight, cold and mystical—like a spotlight from another world. Xiaofan also breaks down how light works—reflections, interactions with color, surface texture, and transparency—in a way that actually makes sense and finally clicks.
On top of that, you’ll learn a foolproof way to paint from scratch, starting with grayscale values and then adding color.—Vibrant results guaranteed!
Plus, you’ll have access to all her custom brushes and layered PSD files to follow along and build your skills in real time. You’ll even discover fun cinematic lighting tricks (think The Batman’s moody shadows or Barbie’s dreamy pastels) and master realistic skin tones, hair, metal, and glass.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to level up, this course will give you the skills and know-how to boost your artistic confidence and creativity like never before!
