Comic books have fascinated readers for decades and offer artists the opportunity to tell stories through a combination of writing and graphic art. You may already have thought about producing your own but creating and publishing a comic book involves a wide variety of actions that demand specific skills. This content creation course teaches you how to use Adobe Photoshop to illustrate your comic book, from character designs to backgrounds and props. We first cover the basics of Photoshop and help you set up your workspace. We also explain how to save your documents to your computer or Adobe's cloud server.
The course then introduces you to Photoshop's ‘brush’ tool, one of the program's most potent tools for creating comic book thumbnails. We explore the important role of Photoshop’s ‘eraser’ and ‘pencil’ tools in making comic books. We then compare alternate brushes you may assemble using Photoshop's standard ‘paintbrush’ tool. The course describes the best ways to use these personalised brushes in your visual designs.
We then cover the use of other Photoshop features such as the colour picker, ‘lasso’, ‘marquee’ and ‘symmetry’ tools, which work with ‘brushes’, ‘erasers’ and ‘pencil’ tools. Lastly, we explain how to use Photoshop to unleash your drawing skills by combining these tools to create stunning artwork. This course is designed by industry experts and published by Stay Curious Media Limited. It provides the skills you need to illustrate your very own comic books so sign up now to learn how to turn your talent and ideas into visual art that tells stories.
