Digital Art Basics!

Digital Art Basics

Have you ever wanted to bring the characters and worlds in your head to life on screen? Do you love drawing but want to learn how the pros do it digitally?

Students learn the fundamentals of digital art, from sketching and inking to coloring and shading, using tools like layers, brushes, and blending modes to bring their ideas to life. Every session introduces a new technique or project, building skills young artists can use for character design, fan art, comics, and more.

Students can use Clip Studio Paint or Ibis Paint X, and just a device that supports drawing.
