Transcript excerpt
This artist is a master of composition and lighting. This is the work of Pablo Uchida. Uchida bridges the gap between classical painting techniques and modern digital design. He does the covers for illustration books. He works on movie posters and does key visuals for triple a video games. No, he is a master of tone creating a wonderful sense of hierarchy complemented by his extremely strong composition skills often relying on a pyramid shape.
