In this class, you will learn the process of creating a beautiful Spider Gwen illustration in Adobe Photoshop. We will start with an empty file and work our way up to sketching, outlining, coloring and shading a 2D character illustration. 

We will get the most out of the different tools that Photoshop offers, implementing techniques that will help you save a lot of time in this and any other illustration project you work on in the future.

This course focuses on creating the 2D illustration you can see in the promo video, but you can use the techniques you learn here to create any other character you want. 

I’m confident that at the end of this class you will have a solid understanding of the 2D illustration workflow and you will be able to start creating your own 2D character illustrations.
