WHAT TO EXPECT
In this masterclass, Pernille Ørum will share how she approaches color in storytelling and mood. Working from a sketch she will walk us through her intuitive process of choosing a palette and coloring character in Photoshop.

She’ll focus on clarity, feeling, and confident choices rather than over-rendering. This masterclass will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how small color decisions can bring a character to life – and how to trust your instincts when coloring your own characters.
