The Tools of Digital Illustration | Adobe Photoshop

"I wish I could understand Photoshop. I wish I was better at Photoshop. I avoid Photoshop."

Trust me, I've been there.

Photoshop is the grand daddy of Creative apps, and you could spend a career unlocking all of its secrets.
This is a comprehensive guide to the 12 fundamental tools and effects you need to know if you’re going to build, edit, and create digital illustrations in Adobe Photoshop.

In this class we'll cover:

• Best Practices: Which tools to use, when.
• Smart Workarounds: What to do, when.
• Examples: We'll open up and dissect my original illustration pro files

Each tool is defined, demonstrated then explored in it's own self-contained lesson, so you can get comfortable at your own pace. Why not learn them back-to-back, or try one per day?

When you get to the Project Brief lesson, we'll follow a brief together and work alongside each other to apply every tool you’ve learned to create your illustrated project in Photoshop.

If you’re curious about illustration, retouching and editing in Photoshop, this class is for you.
