If you're just starting out with digital painting, this is the series I would recommend. Do you ever feel like you painting is too 'flat'? To create an illusion of 3D space on a flat canvas you must first understand form, light, and shadow. This 4 part series introduces the process of basic grayscale rendering in Photoshop. Beginning with the pencil drawing, the videos guide you through the process of painting a basic object lit with a spotlight. Though the vase painted in this series is simple, the principles are fundamental and can be applied to more complex subject-matter.
