Canvas Size:

Key Skills Learned:

• Sketching loosely for a clean foundation
  We start off by sketching wobbly, imperfect icicles, nothing too precise! Just enough to guide our painting later on.
• Building base shapes with solid layer structure
  Each icicle gets its own layer so we can paint and adjust them independently. Super handy for control and flexibility.
• Working with alpha lock and clipping masks
  We use alpha lock for easy shading inside shapes, and clipping masks to gently build up textures and light effects without messing anything up.
• Using blending and smudging for soft transitions
  The smudge tool helps us soften things where needed and keeps everything looking smooth and icy, perfect for capturing that frozen feel.
• Adding finishing touches with texture and bloom
  Textures like Heavy Metal and Spires add subtle detail, and the bloom effect at the end really brings that icy glow to life.

Skills Learned:

• Building a sketch from simple shapes

• Creating line art with playful pressure
  Using pressure sensitivity, we play around with line weight to make your illustration feel more alive and dynamic.
• Using layers like a pro
  From setting a layer to “reference” to layering shadows with clipping masks, I’ll show you exactly how I do it.
• Adding color, light, and texture
  We use a fun palette to bring our zombie to life with soft shadows, highlights, and a bit of grungy texture (he is a zombie, after all!).
• Finishing it off with a sticker effect
  I’ll show you a super simple trick to add a white outline and soft shadow, so your zombie pops right off the canvas like a real sticker.

Key Skills Learned:

• Building up a sketch with simple shapes
  We start with loose circles, sausages, and rectangles, keeping it light and easy before tightening up the details.
• Adding personality with textured line art
  Using the fine charcoal pencil, we keep things loose and varied, a little messiness is totally okay and adds character.
• Organizing your layers for easier coloring
  You’ll see how I break everything down, clothing, hair, cat, books, into separate layers so it’s all nice and clean.
• Using layer masks to add subtle texture
  We give those flat colors some lovely texture with layer masks and the fuzzy charcoal brush, super simple, but makes a big difference.
• Soft shading to bring everything together
  From rosy cheeks to a glowing moon and sparkly stars, we add soft shadows and gentle highlights to make everything feel warm and cozy.

• Creating a Loose, Textured Background: By layering big, bold strokes with different brushes and colors, we build a playful, textured base that sets the mood for the whole piece.
• Working with Layers for Flexibility: Each part—bunny, egg, background—gets its own layer, so we can easily tweak things as we go without messing anything up. Super helpful!
• Keeping Things Messy and Fun: Instead of aiming for perfection, we focus on bold shapes, playful lines, and just going with the flow—perfect for building confidence and enjoying the process.
