This DVD is the first volume of an exclusive, long-awaited two-part series on Dave Dorman's illustration techniques. This lecture focuses on Dave Dorman creating preliminary art, the pencil art, for a dynamic science fiction painting. Dave discusses composition, light and shadow, figure drawing and the tricks to creating interesting and dramatic creatures. Dave shows how he develops and refines the image, and how to use eye lines to draw attention to certain areas of the art. He also shares his thoughts on painting in general and how good preliminary work makes the final art stronger and more dynamic.
110 Minutes of Lecture.

Eisner Award-winning artist and Air Force brat Dave Dorman has lived and traveled around the world, which has noticeably influenced his diverse body of work. Dave attended St. Mary’s College in Maryland, and Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art before leaving to teach himself oil painting. Minus an instructor’s influence, Dorman experimented and adapted unorthodox, oft-imitated techniques, many of which he explains in his Gnomon Workshop DVDs. Dorman’s first big break was a cover for “Heavy Metal Magazine” in 1982. He followed that up with extensive work on Indiana Jones, Star Wars (fans voted him the #1 Star Wars Artist), Alien, Predator, AVP, Batman, Spiderman, G.I. Joe, Magic: The Gathering, World of Warcraft, King Kong, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and his own critically acclaimed project, The Wasted Lands.
