Artist and instructor Marco Bucci demonstrates how to break down a human head into planes and apply light values, half-tones, highlights, and bounce light to create a realistic painting.
From the video
Answers: How do you paint a realistic human head using planes and light values?
- Planes of the head
- Light and shadow values
- Halftones in painting
- Highlights on skin
- Bounce light and ambient occlusion
What it concludes
- Planes and their corresponding light and shadow values do what line drawings do by indicating where form turns away from the light source.
- The light value and shadow value are the two most important values to use because they deliver the most information about planes.
- Half-tones exist in the light family and describe planes beginning to turn away from the light but not yet in shadow.
- Highlights are direct reflections of the light source and their location depends on viewing angle and light position.
- Bounce light is reflected light that illuminates shadows, and its values should be kept grouped within the shadow family.
