There&#039;s often a sense of “information overload” when faced with the amount of choices in character art production, both inside <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio and in the post-work. It&#039;s like travelling through a labyrinth, where some artistic decisions just lead you to a dead end, spending extra energy and time in the journey. </p> <p> Sonja presents her latest tutorial sharing her <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio WORKFLOW for other character artists helping them through a collection of choices when portraying a character. </p> <p> Software used in this tutorial : <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio and Photoshop </p> <p> <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio initial set up <br/> Choose character/main subject <br/> Creating a main focus point <br/> Select a secondary focus point <br/> Selecting an outfit <br/> Add jewellery and clothing accessories <br/> Work on the eyes and make up <br/> Consider skin and tattoos. <br/> Hair selection <br/> dforce or not dforce? <br/> Posing the character <br/> Craft an expression <br/> Additional objects or background pieces <br/> Lighting choices </p> <p> Adjusting Modes <br/> Screen soft light multiply in multiples then group <br/> Why render an image darker </p> <p> Dodge and Burn <br/> How to be effective with highlighting and shadows </p> <p> Background <br/> Add background - matching the lighting </p> <p> Texture overlays <br/> Blending on top of the main image </p> <p> Background Blending <br/> Look up tables and modes </p> <p> Filters <br/> Advantages using the Nik collection </p> <p> Special effects </p> <p> About the presenter : Sonja McClung </p> <p> “I&#039;ve loved fantasy for as long as I can remember. Fairies, elves, dwarves, centaurs, and of course, dragons. I love the possibility of the impossible that fantasy brings, the wide open opportunity to get lost in a world that is far different than ours, full of magic and wonder, feats of heroism that defy the odds and best of all, good always conquers evil. What&#039;s not to love? </p> <p> I&#039;ve always loved to draw as well. I can&#039;t remember a time that I didn&#039;t have a crayon (or a pencil, or a paintbrush) in my grubby little hands. I took a long hiatus from drawing when I was raising my kids (best art project ever!) and started to really get back into art in the last 6 years or so. I picked up photoshop and immediately fell in love with being able to draw and paint digitally. A couple of years later, I found Daz Studio, a 3D art application and was totally hooked!” </p> </div> <h2 id="product_notes">Product Notes</h2> <div class="level2"> </div> <h3 id="installation_packages">Installation Packages</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> Below is a list of the installation package types provided by this product.
