How To Paint Scales (the easy way!)• 30 Days Of Digital Art 2022

🐠 Let's learn how to paint scales! I'll be using Procreate in this demo but you can follow the course using your favorite digital art software (Photoshop, Ibis Paint, Affinity Designer, Krita, Clip Studio Paint, etc.) as we'll be using simple free brushes and basic features.

✏️ Welcome to #30DaysOfDigitalArt 2022, a free digital art course that can be completed following a 30-day schedule or at your own pace. If you want to take it one step further, there's also a design challenge embedded in the course!

The main goal of this course is to give you simple tips to help you improve your art skills and maybe even start creating concept art. This course IS NOT about perfection and fancy tricks. It's all about going back to the basics of painting digitally and learning how to achieve good results quickly using the free brushes and tools available to us.
