MONTHLY CHALLENGE // colorful lighting

Added 2025-04-01 09:00:07 +0000 UTC

This month, we'll be doing a double challenge: both lighting and color at the same time! That's right: we'll be studying colorful lighting - which is no joke! 😉 This is a great way to increase your understanding of the face planes, as well as practicing your ability to combine different colors. This can be intense, so don't hesitate to simplify and stylize your studies. The inspiration folder is full of beautiful examples of how you can do this!

Visit this link to find all essential info about the challenge, including:

an overview of the challenge information

Below is the list of helpful resources that can help you complete this challenge:

Sculpting with color: This is a great technique for blending bright and vibrant colors together!
Face planes: This tutorial helps you envision the head in a simplified 3-dimensional form. This can be really helpful when conveying lighting on a head! It also mentions the Asaro head, and there's a great example of that one in the inspiration folder too.
Process video // colorful heads: This process is all about blending bright colors together!
