Iochem, who has been a Digital Matte Painter and Environment Artist for more than 13 years, had noticed recently that VFX artists were more and more technical, but less and less conscious of basic rules of composition or color harmony. Using paintings, photography, and other imagery this course explores key concepts such as composition, lighting, perspective, colour harmony, and more. While visual effects is a very technical industry, it is important to be able to create compelling and beautiful pictures. This course, taught by Ludovic Iochem, is designed for anyone who wants to improve their skills of creating beautiful imagery and explore what makes that image beautiful.
