Adrian Dominic Seminar
Dynamic Lighting & Shadowing
for Anatomical & Biomechanical Forms
This seminar will be a complete breakdown of my theories on the importance of light and how it works when falling over anatomical and biomechanical forms. The major topics will include a brief history of lighting effects applied in art, as well as discussing value theory and reference development. The goal of this seminar is to help the student better understand the reasons why I make the decisions with color and value, and how those decisions work on the form I am illustrating and tattooing.
The seminar covers my theory of light and how it responds to form, inventing light sources, building form, and how to discern the shape of a value. It will be heavily based on value theories. This seminar will also based on drawing techniques that can be applied to any medium.
Main forms to be studied are the eye, the face, and the hand to better understand their anatomy and importance in illustrating figures. I will also cover a heavy study of a few common biomechanical forms.
Every student will receive a study packet with notes and illustrations about topics covered. Also, students will be encouraged to take notes, so bring a sketchbook,
some pencils and erasers to participate in the lesson and be able to get more hands on knowledge, and one-on-one feedback.
