Digital Painting in Photoshop for Beginners

The graphic editor Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful, versatile, and in-demand tools for digital painting. However, its functionality is so extensive that it can be challenging for a beginner artist to navigate the vast array of tools... and terminology.
This book will serve as a reliable guide to Photoshop for those starting to learn the program from scratch. From the simplest operations (creating a graphic file, choosing the color mode and resolution, working with brushes, using layers), the reader will progress to studying more complex techniques: transforming areas, color correction, and retouching. Those who are already familiar with the basic settings and tools of Photoshop can directly refer to the chapters where professional designers offer advice on complex image processing: discussing techniques for detailing, lighting, manual coloring, and creating artistic compositions based on photographs.
The theoretical material is accompanied by a series of exercises with step-by-step instructions that will allow the reader to hone useful skills and move on to their own creative projects.
