Getting Started With Digital Painting

Hi do we need to know anything before taking this course like portrait drawing because in the course curriculum there is a picture of a potrait.what kind of drawing skills are expected

@Marco Bucci I have a question about merging layers together that are in different modes in Procreate, please. When I tried merging the layers together that were in different modes (in the later half of the Procreate Owl demo) I found that I ended up with strange results- the colours changed. Marco, how do you merge those layers and retain their effects, please? I'm a Procreate user, with experience in traditiional oil. I wanted to be able to experiment with colours and composition - without the expense or mess! Thank you-- I really enjoyed learning your approach.

My attempt to utilize the use of brushes decreasing a "digital" look...painterly. Thank you, Marco, for a very instructive and useful lessons which I will continue to reference as I work to incorporate a more painterly result. Also, really like your brushes. I am a novice learning digital painting online...both photoshop, procreate and art lessons. A huge 'well" of learning!! The cups are an online image I referenced my study after your class and the orchid is my own still-life design.

The Dancers! A digital study I did recently from a photo I found on Pinterest. I enjoyed working on it, and I learned a lot!

Thanks for this great course @Marco Bucci ! I had Never Manager to get to do color and digital. Still some progress to do but I do see that with my drawing capabilities and your guidance, I managed to have fun while doing my first 3 digital sketches

Hey Marco, Thank you for your courses! Just wanted to ask if you recommend taking this course before your head painting course or vice versa, or if that even matters. I plan on doing both, but still debating on which one to do first when the time comes. Take care, Gino

I guess I'll ask first lol. Can you follow along with CSP?
