Digital Drawing for Beginners

The Digital Drawing course for beginners is a space where we will explore different aspects of art together, to become more conscious of what we see and how we choose to apply it in our art. Composed of 5 easy-to-follow modules and 30+ video lessons of +7 hours, this course will cover both the very basics and more advanced techniques that will help you in your creative process. By the end of the course, you will have honed your skills in sketching, colouring, composition and storytelling that all go into creating intricate, personalised digital artworks.

In this course, you will learn:

MATERIALS AND TOOLS

We will go through choosing your drawing tablet and software, as well as the settings and brushes that can help facilitate your drawing and make for a more streamlined drawing experience.

SKETCHING

This module begins with warm-up exercises and then goes on to demonstrate how to break down your subject when you are drawing from reference, how to enhance your observational abilities and how to use that to draw from your imagination. We will also cover perspective.

PAINTING

In this module we will look at how light and shadow can be used effectively to suggest volume and bring a 2D surface to 3D. We will examine colours, how they interact with light, and how they interact with one another.

COMPOSITION

This module is all about achieving harmony in your artwork, as well as disrupting that harmony. It introduces composition basics, guiding you in arranging elements for visual balance and impact.

STORYTELLING

Anything, from lines to colour to composition, has narrative power. Drawing from what we have learnt throughout the course, we will now look at how to actively apply that knowledge to convey a story.
