Artist and teacher Leigh Ann Rooney will guide you through creating colorful and detailed illustrations. This course focuses on coloring detailed hand-drawn illustrations and it will take you through all the steps from sketching to saving for web or print. Advanced techniques are used, but the step-by-step instructions are suitable for beginners, Photoshop experts, and everyone in between. A lot of options are discussed so that you can create a unique and original illustration. You will find your personal style of working with Photoshop and learn to have fun and be creative with the program.

• • Creating custom color palettes to get the look you’re going for

• • Painting in Photoshop (I’ve developed some helpful tricks to make this kind of detail work MUCH easier)
