After all the theory, it’s time for practice. Using a set of digital brushes that Sergio will provide for you, begin to create your sketch in Adobe Photoshop. Once you have your drawing ready, you will create solid layers of all the elements of the scene, which you will then paint to give them volume, colors, lights, and shadows until you get the final result.
