lecture: Digital Surrealism

What is Digital Surrealism?

A movement focused on artist expression through surreal visuals.

How to start Digital Surrealism?

  1. Sketch it out. It doesn't have to be refined or have any details yet, just having the key points of one's vision.
  2. Find references. Images can help relate to the vision one may have, & bridge it into the real world.

How to think during creating Digital Surrealism?

  1. "Does it look real". Surrealism shines best when it is at least partially believable.
  2. "Be daring". Don't be scared, challenge oneself. The worst thing that could happen is one backing off from an idea because of the difficulty in execution.
