Are you good with your hands, but were always afraid to start the digital drawing process?
This course is for you! I explain everything and help you to find your own comfortable workflow.
This course also helps you to understand digital illustration. I am sharing with you my own workflow, everything I do to create original digital illustrations.


We start with getting the ideas on paper with a single pencil. Sketching is a very important part of the illustration process!

Than we take the digitalised image to Adobe Illustrator to create the elements of our drawing. We will using vector shape elements. 

And last but not least we will use Adobe Photoshop to really bring the drawing alive, by giving it texture and a unique atmosphere!

                         

I will share all my tips and tricks during the process, but if you missed anything, please feel free to ask, I am here to teach!

Come and join the course and create amazing digital illustrations right now!
