Course Outline:

We believe it’s best to learn through examples. here is what we will be doing in this course:

We will be going over the tools
After going over the tools we will be using them to draw to reinforce how they work
The drawing sessions are simple and easy to follow, anyone can do them
One project goes over how we can use the vector brushes to make cartoons and comics.
Another project uses layers and the water color brushes to create unique illustrations
The third project uses the oil brushes to blend paint and then layer masks to do some hand lettering and effects over it.
The Final project takes all the skills we’ve used up to this point and put them all together in one final complex illustration.
