look this-see blueish tones on rock? These planes face the water- which reflects the sky. The shadows cast by direct sun is different- is warm.
Smooth rock surfaces in Shade reflect the sky. Just look for urself outside. In painting it creates convincing volume.
Cool tones recede and warm tones come forward. The distance is always bluer/ paler.
Dale Nichols (1904-1995)
Had huge influence on animation backgrounds. Warner Bros/ Disney looked to fine art for aesthetics once upon. High culture.
Concept for Totoro's 3rd act. See the slight variations in hue that real paint gives? Most digital paintings lack this quality-but it's vital.
You can achieve this in Photoshop- but it takes conscious effort. I'll talk more about this later.
Film recommendation: GOOD TIME (2017)
Beautiful movie to look at. Subtle complementary palettes like this one throughout.
📣 Really enjoyed painting these backgrounds for THE MIGHTY GRAND PITON by Wes Louis @thelinestudio. Unique project with huge future potential...
