Digital Painting builds on lessons learned in Drawing for Composition, MAD SCIENCE & Composition for Film by taking skills learned in those classes and adding digital painting as the next stage in the process. This is a beginning to an intermediate class that provides a solid foundation in environmental painting techniques applicable to film, animation, and games. It addresses essential painting techniques and multiple lighting setups and provides assignments that allow students to continue to advance their skills after the class ends. Digital Painting is an excellent precursor to Style Development, the next class in the entertainment program at Drawing America.

Working from an instructor-provided story prompt, students spend 6 weeks learning to execute all stages of a composition’s development, from initial storyboards and prop design through rough sketches and on to final the composition (layout). This is important because, professionally, every developmental stage is used in review processes that determine the future direction of a project. Everything, thumbnails to the final layout, must be clear and provide visual information needed for creative decision making.
