Paintover Blockout
Lesson 7 of 8 Painting Historical Fiction
You’ll begin working on your final paintover by adding in all of the broader elements and refinements which make up the scene, without worrying about fine details.
Initial Photobashing Homework
Add in any of the broader photobash elements needed for your image. Try to get in any pieces that can be added without needing to zoom in.
Paintover Blockout Homework
Add characters, props and anything else needed to bring life to your scene. The details don’t need to be perfect at this point. Your objective should be to focus on the big picture.
