What you'll learn
In this tutorial, members will learn how to create Sci-fi inspired Manga illustration in Photoshop. We'll get started with this project by taking a moment to discuss setting up our workspace as well as working from a thumbnail sketch. From here, we'll dive in and begin creating the rough sketch for our illustration. After loosely sketching out our concept, we'll spend a little time painting some nice crisp line work on top of it so that we have a clear roadmap for our paint. From there, we will walk through the process of painting and detailing our final image. After completing this course, you'll be familiar with the tools and techniques used to create our science fiction inspired Manga illustration. Software required: Photoshop CS6.
