* THE TECHNIQUES OF CARLOS HUANTE, VOL. 2: DIGITAL CREATURE PAINTING
In this DVD, Carlos demonstrates his digital creature/character painting techniques. He walks you through the use of various tools and techniques that he has developed over the years in both Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop. Some of these include masking, color glazing, resolving design and punching up the color. The subject matter of this color painting demonstration is the creature he designed with traditional media in THE TECHNIQUES OF CARLOS HUANTE, VOL. 1.

The digital rendering DVDs assume a basic working knowledge of 2D software such as Corel Painter or Adobe Photoshop. The focus of these lectures is not on software, but on the fundamentals of design, composition, lighting, material indication, storytelling and workflow.
