Hi, this is Chris Legaspi. I'm a professional artist, author and instructor. And today we're going to talk about digital painting tutorial. Now what is a digital painting tutorial? As I mentioned in previous episodes, unlike oil painting classes,  digital is using an electronic interface. Uh, the most popular one right now is Photoshop painting.

Painting is the act of drawing plus adding the layer of element of color. So digital painting is using an electronic interface, like Photoshop classes to create artwork, to create digital paintings. And the definition of tutorial is simply specific instruction. It's some form of instruction. And typically, when, when you see the word tutorial online, it's, it refers to some kind of free instruction or free listen to free video perhaps, or articles, or course a more complex version.

Now, um, a digital painting tutorial is, is going to be very, very helpful. If you want to learn digital painting, if you want to improve. So, it was very helpful. So, I think it's definitely something, um, uh, good to do to study, to review, to learn now, one thing to keep in mind and one thing to look for, and specifically for me, what I look for in a good tutorial is I look for two things.

Number one is results and number two is communication. So, for me, when I want to learn something, when I look forward to tutorial, I first look for results. Meaning does the person who is offering the advice, the information, the knowledge have they achieved, the results that I want. Did they have, did they have the work? Does their work look good in a way that I liked that I want? And also, can they communicate? Um, so that's a whole other uh, skillset that, um, you know, it's often difficult to find, but, um, um, also in communication, um, the communication also not only has to be clear, but also has to resonate with you because there's many different teaching styles, communication styles for painting classes online.

So, those are just two things that I look for. And I think there are two things to keep in mind because there's so much information out there. And many of it is good, but a lot of it is maybe not as beneficial. So, when you're out there going through the sea of information, um, first when you're looking for a digital painting tutorial first, um, focus on the results, who is getting the results that you want and who has a communication style that resonates with you. And, um, if you keep those two things in mind, I think, uh, and with experience, uh, those that, that skillset will improve the ability to sift through information. And you'll be able to find a lot of good knowledge and information and good digital painting tutorial that suits your needs.

So that's all for this episode. And until next time, get out there, keep drawing, keep painting. You build up that mileage. Bye for now.
