06 Lesson 1 - Values Part 6 - Homework

Okay, first things first. You're never gonna see the word homework in the title ever again. We're going to change it to practice and improvement. Because the idea of homework that just brings back really bad memories for everyone and trying to cram as much algebra to a head as possible or writing effort cue essays on analyzing shakespeare's hamlet for the 5th time. I am not preparing you for an SAT or a bar exam for law school here. Everyone has different lives and everyone has different goals. Some people want to pursue concept as a profession, but others just want to pursue it as a hobby or to just get better. My job is to teach you the exact methods on how to paint and improvement. ?

P6 - 00:56第二遍。?

"家庭作業(yè)"給人的不太好的回憶死記硬背的過程，或者無止無休一次次分析莎士比亞哈姆雷特經(jīng)典名著五六遍。Because the idea of homework that just brings back really bad memories for everyone and trying to cram as much algebra to a head as possible, or writing effort to essays on analyzing shakespeare's hamlet for the 5th time.我也不是給你準(zhǔn)備SAT或者律師入學(xué)考試的， I am not preparing you for an SAT or a bar exam for law school here. 每個(gè)人生活不同，學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)不同，Everyone has different lives and everyone has different goals. 有人學(xué)習(xí)該技術(shù)為了賴以生存的專業(yè)技能，有些人單純興趣愛好。Some people want to pursue concept as a profession, but others just want to pursue it as a hobby or to just get better.我的任務(wù)是告訴你如何繪制概念藝術(shù)。 My job is to teach you the exact methods on how to paint a piece of concept art. ?

P6 - 01:33練習(xí)力度取決于你定的目標(biāo)。?

愿不愿意執(zhí)行練習(xí)，取決于你自己，But whether or not you wish to implement this process. It's up to you.愿不愿意持續(xù)精湛技藝，也取決于你自己。 And whether or not you wish to improve upon it is also up to you, 人情況各不相同。because everyone's situation is different. ?

P6 - 01:45不同目的不同訓(xùn)練的建議。?

你可以一遍遍觀看芭蕾舞教練的訓(xùn)練，But at the very least, I will say this, you can watch a video of a master instructor teaching you on how to perform ballet. 看一百遍不如自己動(dòng)手練一遍，But unless you yourself put on your ballet shoes and actually practice those moves.自己不親自動(dòng)手訓(xùn)練是無法進(jìn)步的。 There is no way to actually get better. ?

P6 - 01:59藝術(shù)也是類似的道理。?

Art is just like ballet.藝術(shù)是手指在鍵盤上的舞蹈。 It's a dance in your fingers, the way you control your hand. 身心合一，手指在鍵盤上彈奏出想象力，And the way you integrate your thoughts with your movement. That's all physical and you have to practice and get better. 除了拳不離手的訓(xùn)練別無他法。There is no way of stepping around it. 但是并不意味著你不去訓(xùn)練舞步就沒有舒活筋骨。Just because you're not moving your whole body doesn't mean it's not a dance or like doing the splits.你需要訓(xùn)練思維，磨刀不誤砍柴工。 You have to develop muscle memory.所以我鼓勵(lì)你們盡可能多的訓(xùn)練和提升。 So I definitely encourage you to do as much practice and improvement as possible. So each week, ?

P6 - 02:22列舉具體的數(shù)字。?

i’ll give you the assignment. And the number is arbitrary. I will give you a recommendation, 盡可能多的去訓(xùn)練。but you should really do as many as you think is necessary. 比如定位專業(yè)級(jí)以此作為收入來源的自然多加練習(xí)，F(xiàn)or example, if you're aiming to become a Top professional where your livelihood is going to depend on it, then you should do more. If your aim is to be a casual hobbyist. In that case, you can do less. 愛好取向的可以少訓(xùn)練一些。So with that, most of that beginning transition one more time. ?

P6 - 02:55訓(xùn)練和提升。?

本周我們做個(gè)快速測(cè)驗(yàn)。 So for this week, I'm gonna start you off with a quick quiz.給你一個(gè)類似的截圖。 I will show you a screen shot like so.告訴我該截圖是局部值還是光影隨行。 And then I want you to tell me if the image is primarily separated and local value or by a shadow value. 把彩色照片翻譯成黑白灰三種色彩。And then I want you to paint it for me and only three colors black, white, and grey. ?

P6 - 03:22畫出來體現(xiàn)了分析思維。?

In the simplest possible way to demonstrate where you yourself see these value differences. 比如，這是《拯救大兵Ryan》里面的截圖劇照。For example, in this screen shot from saving private Ryan, 如果我做黑白灰的翻版繪制。if I were to do a black and white painting,這是我的做法。 this is how I would approach it. 就這樣。Just like so.作品標(biāo)注局部閾值還是光影隨行。 And then I want you to label whether or not its shadow you or local value. ?

P6 - 03:43本案例用光影隨行。?

In this particular case, for saving private Ryan, it would be considered shadow value, 因?yàn)橹饕枪庥半S行分水嶺而不是局部閾值。because the black and white values are mainly separated in terms of where the shadow is not the local value. And we're going to do 10 of these. ?

P6 - 04:05舉一反十。?

你可以搭建屬于自己的工作表。Now you'll be getting a worksheet for all of this, but just so you're kind of preparing yourself. Here are the ones that you'll be doing. 做5個(gè)電影劇照。You're going to be doing five for movies. So five screen shots.五個(gè)手繪版。 And we're also going to be doing five different paintings.結(jié)下做你自己的截圖。 Next, you're going to do the exact same thing, but with your own screen shots,?

P6 - 04:26用不同的手法。?

比如從導(dǎo)演 Alfred hitchcock或akira kurosawa的影視作品中選材。for example, choosing films from directors like Alfred hitchcock or akira kurosawa. 還可以從Dean cornwell, John singer sargent和Edouard Manet繪制作品中選擇。And then you're also going to do them from paintings as well, such as painters such as Dean cornwell, John singer sargent, and Edouard Manet,當(dāng)然建議不能替代你自己喜好的。 of course. Just recommendations. You can choose your own favourites.?

P6 - 04:48越是知名專家，越是恪守定律。?

But as you typically the more well known the artist is, the more they usually follow the principles of either local value or with the shadow value.?

P6 - 04:57舉《大鏢客》劇照的案例。?

So for example, if I chose a screen shot from the movie Yojimbo, 這是我解決的方案。this is how I would tackle it.你可以看到就白色 灰色 黑色三種色調(diào)構(gòu)成。 You see only three colors, white grey and black.我推薦你用白色單一色。 I want you to use a shade of white that is obviously, you know 完全的白點(diǎn)，中度灰色，完全融入背景黑色，顯示不出來的黑色。dots are completely white. And then a mid shade of grey and finally black, only the black isn't showing up because it's against a black background. ?

P6 - 05:22但是灰白色作為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)比試色。?

But here I'm using a super dark grey just to prove my point. 為什么是中度灰色，而不是超淺的或超暗的灰色呢？But I don't want you to use a super light grey or a super dark grey. I want you to use a very medium grey, 大概50%的中度灰色。only this one try to go for a 50% to really make it as simple for yourself as possible. ?

P6 - 05:43簡短演示。?

如何處理黑白底片的作業(yè)。So now I'm just gonna give you a super quick demo on how I like to tackle these black and white assignments. 首先選擇截圖。First of all, it's sort of their screen shot. 選擇《大鏢客》劇照。This one is also from the movie Yojimbo again. But if you still remember, and 從和影視同屏大小的畫布開始。then I start off with, of course, a canvas that is the identical size of the film aspect ratio,有的影視長點(diǎn)有的短點(diǎn)，確保同屏長寬。 cause some films are longer and some films are shorter. So you just want to make sure that you capture the exact same length as your original screen shot.?

P6 - 06:12開始近距離演示。?

Now let's go and take a little closer look. All right. So I always start off, of course with my canvas. So as you can see, this one would be my canvas. 取決于你畫布的背景。So depending on what value the background or most of the background is, that's where I would start. 本案例中我選擇亮灰色。So in this case and scenario, the background is mostly this kind of light grey. 當(dāng)然你可以按照自己想法中度灰色。Now obviously you can kind of argue that I could start off with grey, but this is what I look at. ?

P6 - 06:41這是我個(gè)人的理解建議。?

我理解的是，如何把背景主色調(diào)來分成三種閾值色調(diào)？What i've looking at this. I think about how am I going to separate this into my three values? 首先第一這是我的角色。The first thing I'm gonna look at is, well, first of all, obviously this is my character. 角色主體是一個(gè)閾值。And he's kind of like one value.頭部和皮膚的高光色也是亮閾值。 And then he also has these little lights shining on his head and his skin. ?

P6 - 07:04明暗閾值的分水嶺。?

背景灰度和足下地面灰度不同。 I also see a really distinct value difference between the background here and also the ground. 霧霾上輕下濁也有不同閾值。So the mist and haze have different values. 對(duì)比看，地表層面，霧氣背景比足上靴子更亮。And when I compare them together, this ground is lighter color than shoot that he has. 背景霧霾亮度比角色手里劍和身上高光點(diǎn)的閾值。And also it’s lighter than his sword and the lighter than pretty much like all of these areas here. ?

P6 - 07:30這里重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)的是。 ?

So essentially that tells me that, okay,地表一個(gè)閾值，霧霾一個(gè)閾值， the ground is the one value, the mist is going to be another value.最后灰色部分劍和夾克是第三個(gè)閾值。 And then finally, the dark parts like his sword and like his jacket, that's going to be the 3rd value.可能我畫的滿屏都是，清屏。So I know I drew all over the screen here, but let me make this a little bit clearer.?

P6 - 07:48重點(diǎn)總結(jié)。?

So essentially it would be one.我把筆刷調(diào)大。 I would change my brush over there. 第一黑色，第二霧霾色，第三地表色。So it would be one black over here, and then two the mist. And then three, kind of the shadow ground.?

當(dāng)我意識(shí)到的時(shí)候，兩種不同的閾值是如何分類的呢？ Once I realized that, I asked myself, okay, well, these different values I see on the screen or how are they categorized? 局部閾值還是光影隨行？Is it local value, or is it shadow value? ??

P6 - 08:14簡單的區(qū)分方法？?

最簡單的方法是看一看空白。And the easiest way for me to usually differentiate is by looking at he lacks. 比如我們把黑色閾值輪廓圈出來。So I'm looking at the blacks here and then basically formed this mass kind like these.?

P6 - 08:27自問自答。?

And I ask myself, well, 這一大塊是覆蓋大部分頭部和皮膚嗎？this giant mass, does it spend over multiple things like jackets and skin?技術(shù)上應(yīng)該是基于局部閾值， 不同材質(zhì)不同的顏色。Because technically it was the local value based then the black should be different depending on what the article of clothing or if it's skin or whatever material it should be? different. ?

P6 - 08:49但是在本案例中，?

But in this case.和材質(zhì)沒關(guān)系，和光源正對(duì)背對(duì)有關(guān)系。 It doesn’t matter what the material is, it just spent all over him, which means that this is clearly something formed by light. 明顯光影隨行的閾值，This shadow value is, well, obviously its shadow value. 意味著這應(yīng)該被界定為陰影Chiaroscuro學(xué)術(shù)流派。So that means that this would be considered as Chiaroscuro or as we determined, is going to be shadow based values. ?

P6 - 09:14另一個(gè)學(xué)術(shù)流派。?

So let's get cracking on Rembrandt. 我們從繪制地面的陰影開始，選擇中度灰色，沿著畫紙下面畫平行線，So I'm gonna start off with just the ground and I’m shooting a grey. That is a middle value. So it's going to take a long a straight line right here. 最簡單的填充工具是套索工具。And I'm just gonna fill it, in fact, easier. It would be using the lasso tool. 我喜歡用套索工具做直線。然后用空氣噴槍填充。I love using lasso tool just sorts to make this straight line, and then using my airbrush tool to just fill it out like so kind of like that.?

P6 - 09:38接下來參考原始圖。?

And now when you look at the original screen shot, 你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)左上角有黑色蜿蜒成團(tuán)。you can see that there's a little bit of value creeping in the black all the way up here.也像是陰影閾值。 And its also likely some shadow values like here and here. 所以我們可以通過蜿蜒曲折加入進(jìn)來。So I'm just going to add that in by gently sweeping in here as well. ?

P6 - 10:02溫柔刷出背景霧靄來。?

So just a super gentle sweep. And after that,接下來繪制角色。 I'm going to try and paint the character. 我依舊選擇灰色。So I'm still sticking with my grey. 套索工具畫出輪廓形狀。I'm going to see his shapes are kind of like this, as you can see. Let me see. Right here. 圓圓的頭部，圓柱體身型。Kind of like a circle, a cylinders shape.雖然看起來不美觀的一團(tuán)塊，但是相信我，會(huì)越來越好看的。 It's going to look like an awful block, but that's okay. It'll get better. Trust me. ?

P6 - 10:34接下來微調(diào)。?

So I was going to fine tune it by going on here doing.?

P6 - 10:53現(xiàn)在有輪廓剪影了。?

And now that we kind of have our general silhouette for this guy, 現(xiàn)在之填充階段。now we can go in and actually fill out our black. 對(duì)此角色，確保我們捕捉到陰影閾值，So for this character, we want to make sure that we capture the shadow value. 用套索工具填充我看到的陰影閾值。So i'd like to again, use the lasso tool to just fill out whatever shadowed value I see.? ?

P6 - 11:21微調(diào)陰影閾值。?

And then i'll go in and really fine tune some of the pieces 微調(diào)前是可以清晰可辨識(shí)不同部位和物體的。just so I make sure that they are a little bit more understandable.縱然手部還是灰色閾值， Even though his hand is technically more on the grey value, 打破了剪影簡潔的輪廓，it kind of disrupts the simplicity of the silhouette, 因?yàn)槲业哪繕?biāo)是盡可能的簡潔明了，because my goal is to make it as clear and understandable as possible.?

P6 - 11:42留下頭部和手陰影閾值。?

So I'm going to leave the hand and shadow.此后我打算再修剪一遍，afterwards. I'm just gonna clean up the silhouette a little bit more. 可以做到進(jìn)一步準(zhǔn)確勾勒輪廓線條。So I can be a little bit more accurate. 舉例子，他的腿步是這樣的。So for example, his legs kind of go out more this way. and boom, you have your summary. 最簡單的方式，你可以分辨出來這是一個(gè)人，That's pretty much as simple as it needs to get. You can clearly tell this is a human being and 可以分辨出這是手里握持的兩把劍。you can clearly tell he's holding a sword. And another swords right here. 貼近地面還有霧蒙蒙一條線。And there's some kind of ground level down here. 遠(yuǎn)處還有不成形的霧靄，And that there's some kind of, I suppose like mist. 你需要做的就是這些。And that's pretty much it. That's really all you need to do. All right. ?

P6 - 12:17簡單復(fù)盤下。?

So super quick.簡單交代下你需要做的訓(xùn)練。 Let's just recap what your assignment has been so far.第一是測(cè)驗(yàn)，你需要10份訓(xùn)練項(xiàng)目。 Number one is going to do the quiz. 我建議你自己10份，3個(gè)影視劇照2個(gè)繪畫截圖。So you have 10 pieces to do. And then I would recommend five of your own, do three movies and two paintings. So five of your own screen shots and paintings and do a study of them.?

P6 - 12:42最后自己5張完善圖譜。?

Lastly, you should do five of your own personal pieces, and I want you to improve on them.而不是重復(fù)繪制黑白底圖。 I don't want you to repaint the entire thing in black and white, 而是反復(fù)思考，如何改變黑白分水嶺，讓自己勾勒更具辨識(shí)度。but I just want you to look at your own piece and then think about if I could change it and make the black and white value more understandable. How would I do so? 這就是研究黑白閾值的方法。And then make that study in the black and white?不是重新繪制，微調(diào)的時(shí)間是快速的簡單的。 It doesn't have to be like a repaint. It can be super simple and super quick. 只是讓你養(yǎng)成思維習(xí)慣，如何讓自己勾勒黑白底圖更具備可辨識(shí)度。But just get your brain thinking about how can I make my own paintings look more clear and understandable? 我想做局部閾值的還是陰影閾值的，do I wanted to be a local value based or do I want it to be shadow value based? 直到你意識(shí)到，可能我的陰影基礎(chǔ)上閾值不夠，或者局部閾值看起來不夠清晰，And then maybe you'll realize that Ah ha, I don't really do a lot of shadow based value in my work. Or maybe you'll go like, oh well my local values only It's really unclear,但是直到我看黑白底圖才意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)不足， but I never don't realize that until I looked at it in black and white. 問問自己作品是否考慮進(jìn)去黑白閾值，如果沒有，作品中考慮進(jìn)去。So ask yourself, does your artwork required of them black and white? And if the answer is no, fix it in your simplified painting. 有則改之，無則加勉。If the answer is yes, then perfect.做你的原畫，從邁開的第一步開始，假以時(shí)日，才能看到你的進(jìn)步， Do a study of your original painting. It will be the first step to fantastic painting from here onwards to see what you guys come up with. 這樣為你邁出第一步敬你一杯，我已經(jīng)迫不及待看到你們的第一份作品了。and with that, Let us make a toast. This is to finishing our first lesson, and to foolproof concept painting from here on.
