This DVD is the first volume of an exclusive, long-awaited two-part series on Dave Dorman's illustration techniques. This lecture focuses on Dave Dorman creating preliminary art, the pencil art, for a dynamic science fiction painting. Dave discusses composition, light and shadow, figure drawing and the tricks to creating interesting and dramatic creatures. Dave shows how he develops and refines the image, and how to use eye lines to draw attention to certain areas of the art. He also shares his thoughts on painting in general and how good preliminary work makes the final art stronger and more dynamic.
