The Digital Painting Academy is your one-stop solution to becoming a world-class digital painter!

We’re on a mission to give you a better education than a traditional art school or university (which often cost $30,000+/year), for a fraction, of the price!  We’ve had multiple students tell us that they learnt more in our lessons than at their art school, and we’re hoping we can do the same for you.

In a nutshell, the Digital Painting Academy contains a huge library of professionally-produced classes, downloadable exercises, and premium resources to help you become a world-class digital painter. And to guarantee your results, you also get monthly live feedback and critiques on your work from a seasoned expert.

If you’re a complete newbie, the very first thing you’ll learn is how to get started with your tablet and software, and how to make your first marks.

More advanced artists can skip ahead a few lessons, and dive right into mastering the fundamentals of painting. Through a series of fun, project-based classes, you’ll learn key skills like

• Sketching, proportion & measurement
• Rendering and lighting
• Advanced techniques for working with color
• How to build a good workflow, fix your mistakes, and push your style
• Portrait details like skin tones, hair, textures, anatomy, and more

Once you have mastered the Foundations, you can dive into more advanced lessons, where we cover topics like:

• How to fix dull & muddy colors
• Painting clothing, jewellery, and other accessories for your characters
• Painting landscapes & foliage
• Designing epic dragons, and painting special effects like glowing embers, flashing spells, and fiery explosions
• Creating your own powerful brushes, and using them to add details and textures

And much more!

Yes, and in fact we many students happily following along in just about any software you can name!

The only thing you definitely need is a tablet of some sort, whether that’s a graphic tablet like a Wacom or Bamboo, or a display tablet like an iPad Pro or Cintiq. You won’t be able to follow along with a mouse. Click here for more info on what kinds of digital art tablets are available.

I’ll be teaching in Adobe Photoshop – and while I highly recommend it, you’ll be able to follow along in any software of your choice, whether that’s Krita, Procreate, Clip Studio, Corel Painter, or others.

The lessons in the Digital Painting Academy will be most useful for beginner and intermediate artists.

That being said, we also have a number of advanced artists who stay in the Academy to go professional, and for the sense of community and monthly feedback on their work!

Absolutely not! I didn’t have either when I started out.

I’ll show you tips & tricks to improve your drawings in Photoshop, and show you how to paint heads & portraits from any angle.
