This is a Mini Workshop Course aimed to help you better understand the digital line and color process. Over 3 separate tutorials chronicling the creation of 3 separate images you will discover different processes for building scenes, using Photoshop to develop comicbook and graphic novel style worlds. 

What is included:

• Narrated Process videos for all images. (Between 2 and 5 hours each)
• Additional Full length real-time process videos for two of the images (7+ Hours each). 
• Supplemental videos covering tips and thoughts on things like construction drawing and color theory. (5+ Hours)
• PSDs for all images.
• Photoshop Brushes and Actions.

Topics that are covered:

The main focus of this workshop is to discuss "Process" and Workflow.  In other words... how to get from an idea to your finished image. Each main tutorial section has a fully narrated process walk through discussing it's creation.

There are also additional videos that cover some of the more theoretical and technique based concepts. These videos are aimed at unpacking the more complicated subjects that are difficult to cover properly during the main tutorials. 

Technical aspects covered:

• Brushes
• How to build a Brush Set
• Basic Photoshop Line and Color Theory (layers and masking etc)
• File Resolution
• Selections
• Shading and Rendering via Adjustment Layers and Blending Modes
• Color Adjustment 

Theory based aspects covered:

• Construction and Form Drawing
• Choosing Color Schemes
• Lighting
• Style
• Line Theory
• Visual Storytelling
• Visual Hierarchy

All of these topics are viewed through the lens of creating complex scenes. You will learn how these ideas relate to taking images from your imagination and putting them on the page.

Who is this for?

This is for the artist who is trying to make the leap from drawing simpler images (pinups or just characters) to drawing scenes/full Illustrations that have a strong sense of narrative. 

If you are already an advanced artist and just want to check out the process I am using to pick up a few tips then it should be easy to simply focus on the main tutorials. 

I have included additional material to help out anyone who might not have a full grasp of how to manage a big illustration in Photoshop. And have tried to cover many of the general theory components involved in creating a complex Illustration. 

Some initial understanding of Drawing, Digital Art and Photoshop is required to get the most out of this workshop.
