Digital Illustration in Photoshop
WHAT THIS COURSE COVERS
Photoshop began as a photo tool and became one of the most widely used painting applications there is. This course covers digital illustration in it properly — the brush settings that make strokes look hand-drawn, the light model that stops your shading looking flat, and the finishing pass that takes a coloured sketch to a finished piece.
Most beginner illustration looks flat for one specific reason: shading by picking a darker version of the same colour. Lesson 2 covers what actually changes in shadow, and why. That single correction changes more than any brush pack.
