Those who are new to digital art will have experienced a moment of trepidation upon opening Photoshop. With so many tools to master and a new artistic language to learn, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. These are the fears this manual aims to dispel as it explains everything you need to know about the industry behemoth, from firing it up to laying down that final brushstroke.
Although geared more towards those looking to move into the video games and CG industry, this book is still useful and accessible to hobbyists. The writing style is straightforward enough, and an image-led layout stops the manual becoming bogged down with indecipherable instructions.
Split into an introduction and three comprehensive tutorials, the expert contributors in this book guide the reader through the process of painting landscapes, creatures and people. These tutorials assume a certain level of artistic skill on behalf of the reader, but their real strengths lie in showing you how to work quickly and effectively – both key qualities for making it in the digital art industry.
Topped off with a glossary of terms and basic functions, this guide will still be a useful reference point once you’ve worked through its exercises.
