Digital Painting – From Cartoons to Realism | Term Four, 2024

Learn how to use digital painting techniques to render your chosen subject (people, landscapes, animals etc) in a variety of styles, from the realistic to cartoon, comic and/or anime.
While not every style in the world can be covered, this class aims to provide enough of a range for you to learn some of the different approaches popular in key styles.
Work through a series of modules to match your choice with the support and guidance of your tutor.
For beginners to intermediate students - you're encouraged to pick one style and to learn it, rather than trying to jump between multiple styles. If you're looking for more of a creative challenge - try your hand at multiple styles, or, try and blend these styles to create something uniquely your own!
