Digital Painting Starter

Description

Digital painting replaces paper and paint with a digital canvas, brushes and layers. These fourteen PDF lessons begin with digital tools, the digital canvas, essential brushes and working with layers, followed by color theory, light and shadow, and basic composition.

You then create a first simple painting, build textures and details, develop a personal style, and learn to work with references. Two projects, a complete digital portrait and a final original artwork, put the skills to use. Exercises in the PDFs give you tasks for each topic. Each lesson builds on the one before it, so the skills accumulate.

Who it is for: beginners who want to learn digital painting from the basics.
