Course Description

In this 6.8 hour course you will learn how to use Adobe Photoshop CC to better create your digital art. This course has 27 lessons that move you through the entire process of creating a fully rendered character in full detail. ( Bonus Content ) 3 Additional lectures on painting wood, fire, and ice. Run time is 45 Minutes and includes the PSD file to study from.
In the first section you will learn the tools that I use and how I use them. You will learn about the layers and groups, the selections tools, dodge and burn, custom brushes and settings, blending modes, adjustment layers, layer styles, quick mask, and much more.
You will then move through the illustrative process with me from the rough sketch to the digital painting. We will start with a pre-drawn pose that I have supplied and we work out the concept from there. You will learn how to rough sketch your ideas without jumping in too fast with refinements.
This course can be completed with any drawing tablet. I am using a Wacom Intuos 4 to create this art and although I will be mentioning things about that device you can use any tablet with pressure sensitivity. Mainly so the brushes will react in the way that I explain them.
I have designed this course to be a basic approach for beginner and intermediate digital painters to learn from. I created in the way that I would want to learn. This will not teach you everything about Photoshop but it will give you a firm understanding of how I use it to create my digital paintings every day.
Bonus Content - With this course you get all the art files and my full Photoshop custom brush set ( 50 Pack ) to work along with.
I am here if you have any questions and I would value your feedback so that I can continue to create better products for everyone. Thank you for your support. Good luck with your studies! :)

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!

Very easy to understand for me that I'm still learning english; just with a tool I saw to make simple good shadows on objects and that's pretty something to learn on a first video

By Dyanne Zonderman on 7/24/2020

I've learned a lot of basics, organizing work and creating textures. Very doable voor a beginner.

By Audrey Edwards on 7/21/2020

It was really helpful to understand how to use layers in ways I didn't think I could.

By Joseph Banning on 6/25/2020

Only done the first part of the first lesson but so far I'm really enjoying it. I followed along and got a similar result at the end.

By Lcio Barreto Viana on 5/25/2020

Super curso . Tudo que eu procurava. Show de bola!!

By Benzine Abdelmalik on 5/16/2020

i highly recommend this course to anybody who wants to make some good art in photoshop !!!

By Vidal Odigie on 5/13/2020

It's been very informative. I'm getting a much better grasp of tools in Photoshop and neat tricks that will help me streamline my artistic process.

By Laura Mansfield on 5/5/2020

While I am learning, I feel a lot of it is repetitive and he uses far too many short cut keys. I don't use an Apple so it's made me have to pause, research my short cut keys, then test it out. If he showed more than 1 way to do the same thing I think it would help a lot. He does this sometimes then randomly not others.

By C. Hari Gowtham on 4/3/2020

Its very good course.

By Noot Noot on 4/1/2020

nice and compact, lots of information and clear soothing voice. Very nice!

By Brady menge on 3/19/2020

Amazing detail given and specifics on how to use tools and understanding textures and lighting

By Nathan Disbro on 3/4/2020

Some of the items he talks about he doesnt explain why he is doing that. Its a little bit of a hey do this. Good speaker I am learning stuff and enjoying it!
