Digitally Painting Light and Color: Amateur to Master (Udemy.com)

El curso es bueno para un nivel más principiante, creo que faltaron ejemplos más avanzados, quizás unos timelapse o formas de como aplicar color dependiendo de la escena o fondo, tener una buena base de color sin depender tanto de las capas. Pero del resto, aprendí mucho a como usar capas diferentes al multiplicar o agregar. Además es contenido atemporal, sigue siendo vigente incluso en el 2026.

I immensely enjoyed the course. It was informative, provided clear explanations, and provided practical examples of the techniques in action. The videos were long enough to convey the message without being tedious or relying on timelapse painting sessions. I'd recommend the course to anyone desiring to become more knowledgeable about using color and light within their work.

It is very concise and to the point. Demos are clearly explained. The order of lectures was good, I never felt like I hadn't learned yet what I needed to know to understand the current lecture. Easy to follow. Good examples. Covered a lot fo the basics of light and texture.

This course was really interesting and enjoyable. I learned so much and find that I am noticing the behaviour of light and shadows in real life and in art/photography. There are plenty of opportunities to practice what you have learnt in the tutorials. Austin is a great teacher and a very talented artist. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and creating this course.

Very knowledgeable, explains things clearly and concisely, gives good assignments, and explains the proper way to do them so you're sure to actually learn the technique that is intended, instead of missing the point and getting frustrated. Great, efficiently-painted demos to follow along with and learn from. I understand light, value, and texture so much more now!

In the course Austin explains the little details you need to know to make more believable pieces through very clear and easy to understand videos, with extensive explanation and showing you examples, and (very important to me) shows you how he applies what he is teaching in his art. The course is mainly focused on light: types, sources, and how it relates to making much more understandable what you are trying to portrait; and that in its essence is what I believe truly matters. The reason im not giving 5 stars is because I feel the color aspect of the course is a little bit laking, I wish he had talked more about color: like types of contrast, how to choose them and maybe analyzed how he or other artists choose their colors. Overall, a great course to take if you already have a little bit of knowledge drawing and painting digitally, and want to improve your skill even further.

Progrès impressionnant entre le moment où j'ai commencé à suivre ce cours et maintenant. Meilleure compréhension des effets de lumière et de la façon d'intégrer ça dans mes dessins numériques! Et surtout, meilleure connaissance des nombreuses possibilités qu'offre le dessin numérique!

For those looking to brush up on their color theory, this course is a good introduction as most episodes are summarized with important information, and skills you need to build up on in terms of what light is, its different types, and light's overall effect on your painting. As for me, it works as a good refresher course as well. Good content.

I wrote a complete review at https://unigon.us/artist-resource-no-14-digitally-painting-light-and-color-amateur-to-master/ I highly recommend the course. It is a very straight forward and practical guide to anyone interested in mastering key fundamentals of art. Austin does a very good job of stepping you through color and lighting conditions, providing a very approachable, step-by-guide to help anyone quickly reproduce his results on their iPad using Procreate.app.

The course is extremely well done, with in-depth and clear explanations. There are plenty of exercises provided which really helps to apply the what I learned. I would recommend this course to everyone who is looking to improve their skills in lighting and color. I especially appreciated the last section about surfaces and effects, which can hardly be found anywhere else. Austin is engaging, easy to follow during the lessons and very professional.
