Course Overview
Create professional-looking digital paintings using powerful brush tools in Photoshop, even if you "can't draw."
This quick and easy course will help you make original, custom digital paintings and illustrations using Adobe Photoshop (or any similar program) in just a matter of minutes that look professional and can be used online, in videos and animations, or for print purposes such as on a poster, letterhead, even a T-shirt or other products.
Please note that free trial versions of Photoshop are available for download from Adobe's website.
Save money making your own unique digital images and illustrations (and stop paying others to do them for you) and develop skills that can help you start making money creating professional-looking images for others. You can also use these simple techniques to make unique images and illustrations as free gifts for friends and family.
You also don't need to know how to draw. There are actually a HUGE number of graphic designers who CAN NOT draw... but they make up for it by using techniques like the ones in this course and naturally, learning more about layout design, composition, color, typography, and other fundamentals of visual literacy.
You can decide how much time you will spend on each image which will then affect your end results. As you do more and more, you can be cranking these out in a matter of minutes and could actually make a little illustration/digital painting business creating these for others on websites like Fiverr, Upwork, and other freelancing websites.

This a great course going directly to how to paint in Photoshop. The method is simple to understand and actually put to practice. I wished she could teach other drawing software too.

Sofar I would say yes and no. What I have seen sofar was basic and at the same time an eye opener. What I would have like to learn better and have not seen yet, is have to draw / trace more realistic paintings, blending the image with the paint. I'd also like to learn lots more about the different brushes. My goal is to do portraits.
