Fundamentals of Digital Drawing in Photoshop

Introduction and Project Overview
Hello, I'm Alex. In this series of tutorials, we'll talk about a variety of different methods of drawing, and also how we can take advantage of using a digital format to enhance these methods. We'll start by getting familiar with the basic lines we can create in Photoshop. We'll then get into some principle techniques for the beginning stages of our creation, like gesture drawing and scribble drawing, that allow us to get our ideas down on paper without getting too caught up in the minute details. Next, we'll work on some methods of line work, like contour lines, that will help us define the shapes of our drawing. We'll also learn how to use hatching to give our drawing tonal value. And finally, we'll take a look at how we can combine our techniques to produce a composition. This course goes over many techniques that you can use in digital drawing and traditional drawing. And by the end of this course, you'll have a better understanding of how to create your own digital drawing from beginning to end. So let's go ahead and get started by talking about the basic types of lines.
