Course Description

Digital painting is not easy. Especially when you are an absolute beginner. There are so many moving parts . I am here to guide you through the jargon and terms and techniques. Watching videos online can be fun but not very educational. This course is not a "Watch me paint for 3 hours" session.
I am serious about you finally learning how to paint digitally. In this course you will learn the fundamentals. This is a course around the basics. While it may not teach you how to paint vivid landscapes or cool mechs or beautiful elves it will show you how to make all of your paintings better and stronger.
  • I wanted to create a "What's missing" course. I feel strongly I have accomplished that.

  • The software you choose it up to you. this isn't dependent on any one specific app.
  • If you are ready to learn the basics and create a strong solid foundation with digital painting then this is the course for you.
  • If you are a traditional artist who is looking to make the jump to digital then this is for you as well.
  • If you can draw and want to start making digital paintings but got frustrated in the past of often felt intimidated then this is for you.
  • I ask that you bring and open mind and a willingness to learn.
Who this course is for:
  • Anyone who is looking to learn the basics of digital painting
  • Any Traditional media artist looking to get into Digital
  • Anyone who has been intimidated by digital art in the past.

Instructor Details

placeholder

Aside from being an artist as long as I can remember I started offering a few tutorials on Youtube. Little did I know that by teaching people the fundamentals of art and anatomy i'd begin a new dimension to my career. Being a working freelance illustrator with a youtube channel is hard work, and I wouldn't change a thing. I steadily expanded my work from clients who needed branding to doing work on indie games and apps. i enjoy helping artists and non artist achieve that next level. The road to artistic expression and freedom is paved with hard work and dedication. There are setbacks and monsters to slay , but the rewards are great.

I have enjoyed the course the lecturer was friendly and the lessons were understandable to do. I learned skills that I did not know.

By Rod Eastell on 10/14/2020

Enjoying it and taking it easy and just going with the flow. Really like the presentation.

Rich has always been a wonderful, supportive instructor. I come from his anatomy course, and I can confidently say that you will learn a lot from the material here. QnA and the facebook group are both active.

Yes brilliant

By Una Kim on 9/8/2020

The lecture is very detailed, covers so many things that beginners want to know. There are often such tutorials that say they are for beginners but often too advanced for actual beginners, but this course is great because it really covers everything. Not skipping any small subject. Thank you for the thorough and easy-to-understand lectures. Highly recommended!

Boring

By Rob Garcia on 8/22/2020

Terrific. I improved with every lesson. I've been coloring all my pieces since I started this course.

By Luiz Henrique Gomes Pozenatto on 8/21/2020

Awesome! A very practical and basic course, with important examples!

By Tania on 6/20/2020

It is just what I was looking for... I need a beginners curse, with all the basis. And also I'm not a native speaker, and I understand perfectly the professor.

By Francesco on 5/19/2020

insegnamenti troppo generici per 15 ore di corso, dopo 4-5 ore uno dovrebbe alzare il livello. Non si pu parlare 15 ore dei fondamentali.

By Hope on 5/14/2020

This has been a great course so far. The instructor is well informed, and I like that they are so down to earth and that the teaching style is easy to follow along !

Absolutely fantastic course. Rich is one of the best teachers I've had in art, and certainly one of my favorites online. I really appreciate that he takes the time to go through details, with the option to skip. For example, I am a total beginner at digital painting, so the section explaining brush engines and how to customize brushes was INCREDIBLY helpful for me.
My only potential issue I've had was not really an issue - it might be a bonus for some: Rich speaks fairly slowly in these courses. (Which, by the way, is a fantastic thing if your native language is not English, or if you have hearing or processing issues or delays.) If you get impatient, no worries though - he speaks evenly enough that you can turn up the speed to 1.25x or 1.5x and still hear everything perfectly. Boom. Fixed.
I am only about 25% through the course, but I am amazed at the value for the cost, and will be seeking out Rich's other courses after I complete this one. If anyone is on the fence about taking a course by Rich Graysonn, please get off that fence and go ahead and try it! He is genuine, funny, honest, and clear. I don't give 5 stars lightly but this course and this teacher deserve every one.
