Learn the Basics on How to Use Photoshop to Create Stunning Digital Art
Welcome to my course, "Digital Painting in Photoshop - A Beginner's Guide."
This course is designed to help you feel comfortable with painting inside of Photoshop. The lessons here are taught in an easy to understand way. You will learn how to use the basic tools that you need to get up and running with your own digital painting process very quickly. Photoshop has some extremely advanced capabilities but to utilize them, you must first master the fundamentals. That is exactly what this course is created for.
Section 1 - The Introduction Video to this Course.
Section 2 - You will learn the interface of Photoshop and how to navigate through it efficiently. You will learn many short cut commands as well as how the tools can be used from the perspective of an artist. We will cover the main tools for digital painting such as layers and groups, blending modes, brush settings, file sizes, selection tools, quick mask, rulers and guides, dodge and burn tool, color balance, transform tool, hue/saturation, and the smudge tool.
Section 3 - In this course project you will work along side me in REAL-TIME as we create this space scene. This way you can implement all of the tools we have studied and learn how effective they can be. You will learn how to build up on the paint work to create depth. You will learn how to apply texture with basic brush settings. You will also learn how to study from reference and create your own painting. That way you are learning from the world around you while using your own artistic abilities to create the work.
You will get a copy of the Layered Art File as well as my custom brush pack along with this course. ( Over 50 Custom Brushes! )

Loved this course. Thank you so much after taking this course I feel like i have a better grasp on how to use Photoshop to get what I want out of my digital art experience.
A great course for someone who is an absolute beginner in Photoshop. I really like how the course first takes you through the understanding of the program so you can have a better understanding of the purpose for each Tools.
So far its been great, very informative and easy to understand.
Really happy that I knew a little bit about photoshop before I started this lesson, I originally thought it would be even more beginner but its the perfect level for those who know a little bit about photoshop and its functions.
Being new to Photoshop and Digital Art this was a good beginning on how to draw in Photoshop. I'm off to a good start. Very good course.
Five Star.
So far the instructor covers each subject in a brief but detailed enough way to cover it. Without unnecessary padding.

This is really outdated now. There have been so many changes in PS over the last four years that many of the tools he shows aren't there or don't work the same (polygon/star for example). Very frustrating.
