Who this course is for:

• This course is for anyone looking to add new tricks and techniques to their art making toolbelt.
• This course is for traditional artists who would like to learn to make digital work, illustrators, as well as so-called “non-creatives” who think they “can’t draw.”
• This is NOT an in-depth Photoshop course. A selection of tools and techniques are discussed in depth for creating digital paintings but this course doesn’t cover EVERY feature available in Photoshop.

What you’ll learn: 

• Create powerful digital images that can be displayed online or in print, presented as unique gifts, or as part of your own freelance design business.
• Harness the power of intelligent brush and eraser tools to mimic the unique qualities of paint on the computer.
• Understand how to create effective images that use original or copyright-free photographs as a starting point.
• Gain intermediate to advanced illustration skills based on simple tools and easy to learn techniques
• Have a solid understanding of basic digital painting methods to create images used as stills or later in multimedia and animated projects.

Requirements: 

• Bring an open mind, a willingness to learn new tricks, and a copy of Photoshop. Free trial versions are also available at Adobe’s site.

Software version used in the course: 

• Adobe Photoshop CC

Latest update – August 2020

This quick and dirty course will help you make original, custom digital paintings and illustrations using Adobe Photoshop (or any similar program) in just a matter of minutes that look professional and can be used online, in videos and animations, or for print purposes such as on a poster, letterhead, even a T-shirt or other products.

*Please note that free 30-day trial versions of Photoshop are available for download from Adobe’s website.

Save money making your own unique digital images and illustrations (and stop paying others to do them for you) and develop skills that can help you start making money creating professional-looking images for others. You can also use these simple techniques to make unique images and illustrations as free gifts for friends and family.

You also don’t need to know how to draw. There are actually a HUGE number of graphic designers who CAN NOT draw… but they make up for it by using techniques like the ones in this course and naturally, learning more about layout design, composition, color, typography, and other fundamentals of visual literacy.

You can decide how much time you will spend on each image which will then affect your end results. As you do more and more, you can be cranking these out in a matter of minutes and could actually make a little illustration/digital painting business creating these for others on websites like Fiverr, Elance, and other freelancing websites.
