Are you a beginner Dinitial Artist or maybe want to learn Digital Art but not sure where to start? Then this class is just for you, in this class I am going to teach you how to start drawing digitally as a beginner, I will walk through the complete process and you don't even need to have any prior knowledge in digital art to take this class but some basic knowledge of drawing would be handy. I am using Photoshop as most people are familiar with it but you can take this class even if you are using a different software or application  as the basic process is  same regardless of what device or software you are using. Photoshop is mainly a photo editing software, so I will introduce you to only the basic tools and the ones I use for my art. 

 You will learn :

  • Setting up Workspace and Creating the right Canvas

  • Introduction to the Basic Tools and Options 

  • Introduction to my Tool Preset 

  • Basic Layer Options  and  Arranging  Layers ( With Example )

  • Sketching and Cleaning up Line Drawing 

  • Adding Colors, Blending, and Adding Details   
  • Saving Final Drawing 

 Materials you will need :

  • Desktop or Laptop 
  • Photoshop  (CS6 or later) installed on your computer
  • Graphic Pen tablet is recommended (mouse will work too but it will be more time consuming and you might find the process harder)
