Digital Painting
Description
Our Digital Painting course helps further your passion for drawing and painting by teaching you how to use the pressure-sensitive technology of a digital drawing tablet. Learn how to apply the pen to screen just as you would a brush to canvas. Explore custom brushes, speed painting, and matte painting as you learn how to render eyes, mouths, noses, skin, and hair in order to create a lifelike human portrait.
