EXERCISE: To create mood and temperature through lighting and color
Let’s take a look at something we haven’t done before. Let’s take a look at creating mood and a “temperature” through the colors you choose and how you place the lighting.
This is heavily inspired from a short film, the Dam Keeper, you can watch the trailer HERE to see what I’m talking about. The short has such a focus on color and lighting that it is bursting with life. Even though a more brush stroke finish, you can feel the different environments and lighting though their careful use and choice of color to represent a lighting scenario whether it’s a sunset or early morning.
Below is the the exercise practice sheet with one of our original characters from the game we created a while back called “Eat Sheep” The forms on this sheep are simple and meant to be shapular to help you focus on the placement of light and color rather than intricate detailing on the subject matter.
The 3 lighting scenarios are: Warm, Cool, and Dramatic. For warm try working with more warm colors and the name states, so oranges, yellows and browns may be the right fit while for cool try working with more blues and purples. For dramatic lighting you can have fun with a crazy lighting scheme (lava from underneath) or something where it’s lit from one spotlight and is causing heavy cast shadows. You decide on this one!
