Description

This is a course for both beginners and experienced digital artists.

The art of digital painting allows you to express yourself in an infinite amount of ways. I want to share what I've learned over the years by guiding you through the creation of a great painting while giving you many many tips along the way.

This is my approach to making a digital painting, explained in the most detailed and understandable way possible.

I have carefully put this course together to make digital art more accessible and enable others to give life to their ideas. From basic principles that you should always follow to advanced tips that take your art to the next level. I've included many practical strategies that you can use far beyond this course.

In a project-based way, you will create a full value artwork with the free software Krita, that you can use as a wallpaper. Just follow me and discover the ways of making great digital art!
During the process I will tell you what I'm thinking at all times, so you get a deeper understanding of digital art.

At the start I'm going to give you an overview for Krita so you know the basics of using this amazing program.

We're going to continue by collecting ideas for an artwork and forging them into a pleasing composition by using art and design principles.

Then we're going to make a sketch for the actual artwork. Which we'll follow up by carefully filling everything with the according colors and details.

So in the end you will have a full value artwork that has (hopefully) taught you many generally applicable principles about art. So you should be able to repeat this process for an infinite amount of your future artworks.

I'm going to conclude the course by giving you more general advice for your art journey and showing you how you can progress consistently as an artist.

And that's pretty much it. Watch the lessons to find out what it's all about!

I'm excited to see how it works for you :)

  • Artists who want to learn Krita in a project-based way
  • Beginner artists who want to understand the process of digital painting
