Digital Art Doctor

Skip hours of sifting through generic tutorials, and enjoy a personalized learning session with a laser focus on comics. In this 60-minute session, you will receive personalized instruction on how to elevate your digital skills to the next level based on your own artistic style and preference using Procreate, Affinity Photo, Publisher and Designer, Clip Studio, or other apps.


ABOUT ME

I’ve been working with digital art programs since before Photoshop had layers. My last “day job” was working for a multimedia and web graphic company. I was hired because I could answer the question, “What is an Alpha Channel?” My father worked on creating one of the first high resolution computer graphics workstations, so all of this stuff is in my blood and I’d like to help you learn it with as little pain as possible!


WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH?

Learn the basics of digital drawing in Procreate, Affinity Photo, or Clip Studio.

Get your comic ready for printing or publishing on the web using Procreate, the Affinity Suite, or Clip Studio.

Master a specific set of digital art skills such as working with colors, using masks effectively, working with text, managing digital layers, understanding dpi and page sizes, and more. 

Or we can have an hour-long Q&A session where I answer your specific and random questions.
