DIGITAL PAINTING

BOOTCAMP

FOR BEGINNING DIGITAL ARTISTS!

In 5 fun steps, you'll learn solid step-by-step foundational sketching, coloring, and lighting techniques while creating the most realistic illustration you've ever done!

I'll show you how to take your artwork from "okay" to stunningly realistic...

… even if you’re just starting out with digital painting.

There are SO MANY things to learn about digital art as a beginner! 

Sketching, getting your proportions right, learning how to use your brushes, tools, and layers, picking the right colors, developing your own style… 

Trying to learn it all yourself on YouTube is enough to make you want to give up digital art!

I get it! I was there too. 

So I developed this FREE short course to show beginning digital artists like you all of the basic techniques that you need to know and practice to bring lifelike realism to your illustrations, and have fun while doing it!
