What Students Are Saying
Simply the best place to start when you're just beginning your digital painting journey.
As a beginner in digital art (and art in general) these videos gave me a clear understanding of how digital drawing works and how it should (or can) be approached. I'm the type of person who is scared of trying new things technologically and couldn't bring myself to play around with procreate. Well, now I'm trying, and it turned out to be super fun! I'm excited to keep learning
Got it for procreate and learnt a lot, really enjoyed the demos and did all of them, learning to relax more in starting a painting...
