Overview

Get comfy, turn on some nature sounds, and get ready to dive into the digital drawing universe! Using Birds of Paradise, both the bird and plant, Sarah Nelson, will guide you through digital drawing techniques, pixel and vector color layering, and equip you to share your work with the world!   

This course has a little something for everyone! Whatever skill level you are at, you will be empowered to create something you are proud by end of this course. 

When I stumbled into digital drawing in 2017, it transformed my career, and opened the door to opportunities I never dreamt of. Whether you are hoping to embellish your career, or are just excited to experiment as a hobby, I want to empower you to create the things that are on your heart so that you can share them with the world. I believe this tool and these techniques will help you do that! 

In order to learn these techniques I will use my passion: nature, and in this case Birds of Paradise felt like the perfect subjects.
