Digital Illustration Basics

Description

Digital illustration is taught from the ground up in these seven PDF lessons, written for people new to drawing on a computer or tablet. You start with digital tools, basic drawing principles, and color theory with digital palettes.

From there you create a first simple illustration, learn to work with layers and brushes, and add depth and texture. The last lesson is a final project where you complete a digital piece. Exercises appear in most lessons. Each lesson adds one skill to the previous one, so by the final project you have used drawing, color, layers and brushes together.

Who it is for: beginners who want to start drawing and painting digitally.
