Starting in 2020, THU’s Career Camp has quickly grown into one of the biggest online events for recruiting and mentoring digital artists. 

How is Chaos participating: 

This year, on March 9, 8pm CET time, Chaos will host a workshop on Lighting Humans with world-renowned digital portrait artist Ian Spriggs as part of the Technical Track option.

In Ian’s class, he will look at how lighting, posing, and composition can breathe life into a digital human. You’ll learn how the Old Masters in art history brought storytelling and emotion into their work and incorporate some of their techniques. Ian will also take an in-depth look at how light can exaggerate a mood or a pose can magnify an expression. Once you’ve learned these techniques, you can direct them to reveal a subject's true identity, and bring believability to the digital human

The session will be one hour long with a live Q&A.
