About This Class

This class is an introduction to digital color. I’ll cover the fundamentals of light and shadow, give you a very concise explanation on how to use the color wheel and a set of very simple, yet effective painting techniques that will allow you to present a basic but finished illustration you can share on social media.

Who is this class for?

Art students, freelance creators, hobbyists and digital painting enthusiasts of any level who are struggling to apply color to their digital artwork.

Why is it useful?

Although there are hundreds of Color Theory tutorials, lessons and masterclasses all over the internet, teachers tend to talk abundantly about the scientific, psychological and emotional aspects of color, while taking very little time to explain the more practical aspects of color application. This class will take a hands-on approach, focusing on a step by step coloring process that will offer you some practical knowledge that will help you to better understand color theory while making color a less intimidating subject.
