Level up your coloring & stylization skills! This course will introduce you to theory and application in portrait editing, so you can create your own unique, recognizable style.
In this in-depth set of tutorials, we study tools and techniques to build a unique style via color and other elements.
We will cover color theory and color harmonies, discuss how to apply them via tools and techniques in Photoshop, and practice the elusive skill of subject separation - the special "something" that makes photos really pop and feel dimensional.
We'll wrap up with a full start-to-finish walkthrough of a coloring and stylization process for the image pictured.
This course is for you if:
You are looking to improve your understanding of how to shift colors, how to combine them into harmonies and palettes, and how to choose colors for an image! You can be completely new to stylization, or you can already be an intermediate/advanced colorist looking to refine your skills.
You have an understanding of the Photoshop interface and base tools, such as layers, masks, paintbrush, eraser, etc.
Note: This course is built primarily for Photoshop users, however, the theory and practical skills taught can be applied to almost any coloring platform (including for video grading). The course discusses the foundations of how coloring tools work and the thought process behind making coloring choices.
