This class is an introduction to digital painting. We’re gonna take an existing sketch and color it in Photoshop. We’ll go over the tools you’ll need, then move on to the full process, from inputting the sketch, to contouring, coloring and exporting it. I’m gonna show you how to color and contour a painting in different ways so you can experiment and find your own style. Each artist has their own painting style and in this class I’m gonna share my personal painting processes and tips in a beginner-friendly way.
