Domestika – Guided Project: Bring Your Sketch to Life with Lighting and Color in Photoshop

In this Guided Project, we’ll begin painting our character, but first, we’ll cover a few essential preparatory steps. We’ll start by learning how to import your sketch into the computer properly, ensuring a smooth transition to digital painting. Next, we’ll explore the importance of a mood board—what it is, how to create one, and how it can serve as a valuable reference throughout the painting process. With these foundational elements in place, we’ll then dive into the exciting stage of applying color and bringing our character design to life. By the end of this Guided Project, you’ll have a solid starting point for your digital painting, equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to develop a polished and expressive final piece.
