Description
In this class you’ll learn key, important principles for composition that are fundamental to background or concept art for film, games and animation, as well as the techniques for digital painting that can be applied to any landscape or environment.
-
You’re going to learn how to paint with custom brushes
- How to start your composition with a basic grey-scale sketch
-
You’ll learn about limited palettes and how to create your own in order to give your work a cohesive and balanced look
-
You’ll learn WHY the rule of thirds works, and you’ll understand that it has much more to do than just simply making a pleasing image.
-
You’ll learn how this RULE affects the work that professional concept artists create in the wider context of the animation production.
-
You’re also going to learn how to make visual research, how to collect and analyses images for a project, and then how to distill your own vision into a series of thumbnails on which to base your final project.
Everything in this background is painted directly, with a brush stroke. This is an incredibly intuitive and powerful way of painting and I’m going to show you the exact techniques and thoroughly explain everything as I go.
By the end of the class you’ll have a fully realized and major portfolio piece. You’ll also have a clear understanding of how to generate any digital painting for film, because we will have demystified the process from start finish.
I’ve worked as a background artist on many games, animated tv shows and films, and I am passionate about sharing the skillset and knowledge that took me on my art journey. I really hope that this course will open the door for you o start your own art journey.

Instructor's CoursesHello, I'm Siobhan (pronounced: Shivon ... an Irish name! )
My work spans the disciplines of Figure Drawing, Painting, Filmmaking and Animation. To say the least, my art journey has been varied, scenic and multi-faceted!! However, the one thing that was missing on this journey was a guide, a mentor, or someone who could advise and give me feedback.
Here's what my journey looked like:
Starting out, I studied Film in Dublin, and I spent a semester on a scholarship at the Tisch School of the Arts, at NYU, shooting 16mm short films in New York. Later, I studied Drawing and Animation. Since 2005, I've worked in studios in Vancouver and Dublin: I've worked as a professional Background and Environment Artist; I've worked as a Storyboard Artist, Concept Artist; I've also directed a number of short animated films. In total, I've worked for 20 years as an Artist, Illustrator and Animation Professional. And throughout it all, I had to figure almost ALL of it out for myself!
Today, I work from my own studio, and my art practice revolves around portrait painting and figure drawing. I make art on commission and for gallery exhibitions.
My passion now is to provide the mentorship to others that I wish I had on my journey. My goal is to show you shortcuts on the road, to help you avoid wrong-turns and miss-steps, and to point out the talent and ability that you already have right now!!
Check out my classes below: I have complete Learning Paths on: Storyboarding, Animation, Concept Art and Figure Drawing. See you in class! :)
Siobhan.
P.S. If you love Figure Drawing, I'd love you to join me on my YouTube Channel for weekly figure drawing videos!
AND, I'd love you to join my newsletter, where I write about a dynamic and expressive approach to drawing:
