Course Description

Welcome to my course, "Digital Painting in Photoshop - A Beginner's Guide."
This course is designed to help you feel comfortable with painting inside of Photoshop. The lessons here are taught in an easy to understand way. You will learn how to use the basic tools that you need to get up and running with your own digital painting process very quickly. Photoshop has some extremely advanced capabilities but to utilize them, you must first master the fundamentals. That is exactly what this course is created for.
Section 1 - The Introduction Video to this Course.
Section 2 - You will learn the interface of Photoshop and how to navigate through it efficiently. You will learn many short cut commands as well as how the tools can be used from the perspective of an artist. We will cover the main tools for digital painting such as layers and groups, blending modes, brush settings, file sizes, selection tools, quick mask, rulers and guides, dodge and burn tool, color balance, transform tool, hue/saturation, and the smudge tool.
Section 3 - In this course project you will work along side me in REAL-TIME as we create this space scene. This way you can implement all of the tools we have studied and learn how effective they can be. You will learn how to build up on the paint work to create depth. You will learn how to apply texture with basic brush settings. You will also learn how to study from reference and create your own painting. That way you are learning from the world around you while using your own artistic abilities to create the work.

I have been a working professional artist for most of my life. I have been published in comics, created 3D animation and characters for television, illustrated storyboards for commercials, and owned and operated my own design firm successfully for over 15 years.
I am also the author of the book "Learn to Draw Action Heroes" by Impact Publishing.
I am currently a professional freelance illustrator and comic artist where I create digital art for my clients. I create sequential art and character concepts.
I now share my knowledge in digital art and computer software through online platforms such as Udemy and have a growing Youtube channel as well. With over 100,000 Youtube subscribers and quickly growing I felt I should create some more in depth content for students wanting to take their skills to the next level.
My goal is to help aspiring artists realize their potential and break their mental barriers that hold them back from creating the artwork of their dreams. We can all do it with the right instruction and work ethic. That is what I am here to teach my students.
I am very dedicated to my students and responsive to any of your questions so please don't hesitate to ask. I am here to help!

Holy Cow Batman! What a great tutorial. Finally, finally, someone who understands the word "beginner". I am a beginner and when I state that I am looking for a beginner tutorial, well I'm looking for a beginner tutorial. DUH!I can't count the number of times I've been left in the dust and wreckage of horribly taught tutorials. Feeling like the most inadequate and worthless student. People clicking all over the place at breakneck speeds as though they are double-parked. Creating things while you have no idea how or why. The level of frustration is hard to explain. If you are left in the dust during the first minute you are now lost period.This tutorial is for digital paint beginners. It's well laid out well taught with students in mind. The instructor is not trying to impress but; rather teach. I know what a concept. I would give this tutorial 6 stars if I could. I am so excited now finally I have a blueprint on how to do things on every level. No not everything but; certainly more than enough to finally really begin.I will go through this tutorial 2 or 3 more times so I can cement all this real knowledge and skill into my newly found skill set. You cannot walk away from this course and not be outrageously optimistic. No, I will not be creating wondrous paintings tomorrow but; now I can dream about some day.Thank You Kind Sir........................ Please do more digital painting tutorials.

As I said again. I am deaf artist. I really enjoy reading the lessons with the help of closed captions ( subtitles ) on the screen in my computer..
