Taking Your Digital Paintings to the Next Level in Photoshop

Introduction and Project Overview
Hi everybody. My name's Lawrence Mann. I'm a freelance illustrator and digital artist. I spend a great deal of my time creating concept art and illustrating book covers for the publishing industry. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to create work for the likes of Sony, Nokia, Mattel, as well as a few others. During the course of this tutorial, we're going to look at how to turn a good digital painting into an absolutely great one. We'll start by taking our basic image and enhancing its strongest elements. Next, we'll add a story, we'll look at lighting and atmosphere, as well as other visual tricks, such as adding extreme foreground and background objects. Next, we'll explore how a different approach can transform any image and take your skill set to the next level. The aim of these lessons is to help you quickly transform almost any good digital painting into portfolio gold. So sign in, or sign up, and let's get started.
