Course Description
This quick and dirty 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 30 day 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, Elance, and other freelancing websites.
