At the age of 17 I began a 6th month internship with an animation studio out of Utah. After my internship was up, I was hired on to build backgrounds and to design props and characters for animation projects. I then began to do my own freelance work on the side through networking and using online freelancing sites. Now I work as a freelance Illustrator and designer working on my own time from where ever I want.

I am a freelance illustrator but this course made me re-learn what I thought I knew. It would help a beginner level artist to get a grasp of digital painting in the gaming industry (altough I would recomment the beginner artists to retake some of the sections of this course and try new things with their skills. So helpful for understanding color values in digital painting and game art. Which is essential for every digital painter. This was so helpful in so many ways. Even in 2024. Ps: I did all the courses realtime in ProCreate instead of PS. Some of the features of PS are of course not included in ProCreate but with a little creativity you can get around it. As long as the final product is right, the process doesn't matter in my opinion.

Great course for beginners. The result of each project empowers you and makes you feel like you are going somewhere. However, I would have liked some projects where we were asked to be more creative. I recommend trying to give your personal touch to each project. The tips and tricks he teaches are very useful and learning how to use them on your own will make it even better.

The course teaches me some art concepts and basic tools of photoshop. I feel texture painting is not good for basic tutorial. It's repeating, takes too much time and effort. You better make something simpler. You usually not name the layers which make me hard to follow. Sometimes the techniques you do is too clumsy. I must search for better ways. And too many "I'm gonna go ahead". My head is about to explode. Seriously. Anyway, this is an average course. It could be better. Appreciate.

Jason is a great instructor, I find all his videos extremely useful. But moreover, I am null at Ps, so having him covering the basics of this software before jumping into 2D design is a blessing. Great tutorial series.

I recommend I am at the beginning of the course and I already feel that I have learned a lot

Second tut from you, and sounds super!

Ive learned a lot, the instructor is amazing, has an excellent teaching skill.
By Anna Barenbrock on 9/7/2020
I enjoyed this course a lot. I am familiar with Photoshop, but not so much with digital painting and I was impressed, how one can create good looking assets already without having to paint too much. I thought the procress would be more complex, so I am happily surprised. We painted more things by hand, the more we progressed in the class and I learned a lot! Especially the small tips, like what shadow colours to add in wood and gold were very valuable for me. Thank you, Jaysen. :)
