My second lecture was on lighting and colour. Yet again our task was to analyze three images using the knowledge we gained. My first image is this one by Joe Madureira, a highly successful comic book artist. This image uses colour extremely effectively. It is most intense around the hands on the girl and slowly diffuses as you move further out into the image. Not only does this create a focal point but with the use of yellow and white it creates a sense of heat.
Light is also well used in this image to determine surface and texture. For example the wolves claws have sharp glints of light on them, showing they are shiny whereas the girls face has a soft diffused shading suggesting a smooth surface.
A sense of depth is created by the an increase in value and a decrease in saturation. You can see this with the wolf in the Back ground compared to those in the foreground.
