You will learn the interface of Photoshop and how to navigate through it efficiently.  You will learn many shortcut commands as well as how the tools can be used from the perspective of an artist.  We will cover the main tools for digital painting such as layers and groups, blending modes, brush settings, file sizes, selection tools, quick mask, rulers and guides, dodge and burn tool, color balance, transform tool, hue/saturation, and the smudge tool.

In this course project, you will work alongside me in REAL-TIME as we create this space scene.  This way you can implement all of the tools we have studied and learn how effective they can be.  You will learn how to build upon the paintwork to create depth.  You will learn how to apply texture with basic brush settings.  You will also learn how to study from reference and create your own painting.  That way you are learning from the world around you while using your own artistic abilities to create the work.
