In this lesson, you will watch as instructor George Pratt takes two illustrations to completion. George will teach you how to develop your paintings using layers with acrylics’ fast drying properties. He will also show you how to detail the illustrations using various techniques. Then, you will learn to create separate layers with tracing papers to color your paintings afterward digitally.
