CA Talk 3 - Controlling your Values
In "Controlling your values" we’ll look at understanding the way light interacts with the environment to help us create believable depth and atmosphere in our art. We’ll go through a simple, reliable method for establishing an accurate base value structure for any piece, one that makes your depth feel believable and your compositions read clearly.
Controlling your values is really about understanding what causes different values in the real world, then bending and using that knowledge to fit the mood or story you want to tell.
