Digital Painting Techniques Vol. 2



Digital Painting techniques is finally out!!! I'm so honored to be a part of this book! If you want to learn how to paint digitally, learn new tricks, how to create your own custom brushes and more, this book is a MUST HAVE. There are many great artists featured in this book, too many to name them all, but I will at least name fellow Schoolism instructors such as the great Bobby Chiu, and the amazing Sam Nielson. This book is smokn' hot!

I am so stoked and honored that my painting was included on the back of the book!











And as a bonus, they've added my Aretha Franklin step by step, that's SIX additional pages of digital painting instruction!






My painting 3324 North California was also featured in the book in the Gallery section.

What my students are doing at Schoolism!


This is an example of what my students are currently working on for my class at Schoolism. This work was done by Duane, who I believe is my oldest student yet, he's 70 years old and works harder than most people I know. I think he's kicking serious butt!!!

My next class at Schoolism starts on February 18th, click here for additional information on how to sign up, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Also, I am planning on putting together a apprenticeship type class on drawing and painting caricatures. This class will be more advanced for those who want to really push themselves. I haven't gotten everything figured out yet on what exactly I will cover, but I do know that it will be hardcore. I will put a lot into it to make it worth your while. Any suggestions of what you would like to learn from me, I'm all ears!
