This class focuses on the study and creation of "color keys". Color keys are production paintings used in feature animation that create a color scheme for the look of the entire animated film. Studying color keys in animation builds a stronger understanding of thematic color and cinematic lighting that will make your artwork resonate more emotionally with your viewers. This class will build your confidence when it comes to creating color inspired imagery.
