“Painting cityscapes is a daunting task that I managed to avoid for a good part of my career, until I worked on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Nothing better for artistic growth than when your paycheck depends on it, I always say!
In this workshop we will cover the process I’ve developed for painting cityscapes that won’t melt your brain. I’m not a naturally gifted artist and really cling to systems and processes to help me get through every painting I’ve ever done, and I want to share that process with you in an easy to digest 4 week cityscape painting workshop.”
We’ll cover:
• Setting up perspective grids
• Setting up your composition/drawing
• Paint building flats and photoshop spacing and warping tricks
• Lighting and color for cityscapes
• Atmospheric perspective
• Reflections
