Course Description

In 2023, about 40,000 students have learned this 'Guochao' illustration course in China. Just come and join them to see what you can create.


What is 'Guochao' illustration style?

There are many kinds of Chinese style illustration, 'Guochao' is one of them. 'Guochao' means based on the Chinese traditional culture background, adding some modern fashion elements. It is also the illustration style mainly introduced in this course.


This course has 4 parts (total 11 lessons) with downloadable resources.

Part 1: The Foundation of 'Guochao' Illustration.

Starting from the basics of photoshop, then Chinese traditional elements, color theory and others needed for painting to gradually help you master the foundation of 'Guochao' illustrations. After those basic courses, you will be well prepared for the the next part and can easily deal with various difficulties.

Part 2: A Simple 'Guochao' Illustration Creation

Under my guidance, you will create a 'Guochao' painting with Adobe Photoshop through some simple elements like fish lantern(not the lanternfish), which has over 600-year history in China. By this way, you will get more familiar with 'Guochao' illustration and know how to utilize different combinations of characters, animals and plants.


Part 3: A Complete 'Guochao' Illustration Creation

In this section, I will lead you to create a complete digital painting of Mid-Atumn Festival by using a great deal of complicated elements. After this part, you may try creating your own paintings by any other themes and elements. Looking forward to your unique design.


Part 4: Create a 'Guochao' Illustration by Christmas Theme

In this part, I will show you how to create a 'Guochao' digital painting by Christmas theme. It is really amazing and deserve sharing with your family and friends. After this part, you will be more familiar with this kind of style, try to create more paintings and to be brave to discover what you like then draw. Do not limit your imagination!


I will use Adobe Photoshop in the whole course, if you don't use Adobe Photoshop, iPad Procreate or Artstudio is a good choice, so don't worry about the tool.

Any questions, suggestions or advices are welcomed.

Every thing clearly explain with practical and close to remember and understand

Strong and simple approach to creating and coloring line art in Photoshop. His use of layers is effective, and checking the "All Layers" box in the paintbucket tool is a gamechanger for me. It allows the paintbucket tool to reference pixels on other layers, similar to reference layers in CSP or Procreate, though not as robust. My biggest critique is that he did not show how to add texture to his fills, which was the main reason I took this course. If you look at the main sample image in the preview video (the woman with the red dragon behind her) and other sample images, you can see he applies a block print or rice paper texture to his fills. These images are not examples used for the course, and he does not cover how to create this texture. For my use (learning this particular texture technique), the course flops. However, if you want a robust and straightforward intro to drawing and coloring line art in Photoshop, I would recommend it.

I really love the course and the color theory. I wish there is an advance course for this style which i can go deep in this Chinese Guochao. Hope there will be one in the future. Thank you.

esta super interesante la técnica que usa, me gustaría este mismo curso pero en Español ya que mi nivel de ingles es intermedio y hay varias palabras que no entiendo.

By Vonbara on 4/7/2022

I found it to be very useful. This course is good for the art beginners and people not familiar with the Phtoshop. I'd recommend this course because you do learn so much.
