Overview
  • Hello and welcome! In this class, I’ll be sharing my perspective on what makes digital painting so great as well as showing you my full setup, process, and a beginner-friendly version of my workflow using BOTH Procreate and Photoshop. I'll answer lots of common questions I know beginners have, because I had those questions too.   

    What you'll get from this class:

    • Insight on how and why it is worth the jump from traditional to digital painting
    • My recommended digital painting tools to get with a limited budget
    • How I developed my own personal workflow and how you can develop yours
    • An understanding of the pros and cons between Procreate and Photoshop

    Bonus Material
