ONLINE COURSE
Introduction to Photoshop for Illustrators
I was approached by Domestika to create an online course demonstrating how to use Adobe Photoshop, with a focus on illustration.
The 7-hour long course covers my full artistic process, from setting up Photoshop to sketching and building finished artwork. I demonstrate how I use textures and brushes to enhance my artwork and share composition tips to help students improve their illustration skills.
As the industry standard software in almost any creative sector, Adobe Photoshop offers unlimited possibilities for illustrators, designers, animators, and all types of professional creatives. Knowing how to use it not only improves your profile as a creator, but also allows you to experiment and explore a wide range of styles, techniques, and mediums.
I have been using Photoshop for over a decade to create my illustrations. In this Basics course, I teach how to use the software from scratch, taking you from the essential tools and interface to the mockup of a final printed product.
Full artwork process demonstrated in course
The course is taught through several full artwork demonstrations. We will explore composition, colour, value studies, contrast, texture using custom brushes and texture layers, lighting, readability and ways to animate our artwork.
Also included are downloadable resources and extra reading recommendations, including:
