Digital Figure Painting Techniques Week 1

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson, NMA instructor Iliya Mirochnik teaches you how to approach the figure digitally. Each session Iliya will set up new challenges and techniques for you to tackle. You will learn different approaches to figure painting while mixing traditional and digital concepts together in your paintings. Iliya will assign varying assignments for you to tackle, then give feedback on them in forthcoming sessions.

Join NMA instructor Iliya Mirochnik for an 8-week interactive Live Class, where you will explore the nude and clothed figure through the medium of digital painting.  Students will also be working with textured brushes in Photoshop to develop paintings with exciting surfaces. Students will work on four, two-week assignments in Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Rebelle, focusing on color, composition, anatomy, and the integration of the figure with the environment. During the class, Iliya will go through students’ submitted assignments to give critiques and advice.

Earn a digital Certificate of Completion when you complete this Live Class and submit all assignments for review before the end of term. Certificate details will be announced mid-way through the term. Additionally, students who fulfill the certificate requirements will receive a special badge for display in the NMA community forums and Discord server.

I would like to use the brushes that Iliya uses. But I can’t find them. I have photoshop 2021 with tons of brushes. For example, the first brush he uses–gouache flat. Nowhere to be found.

If I’m not mistaken, he mentioned that he used the gouache brush from Kyle’s brush set, which can be downloaded free from Adobe here: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/brushes.html

He also has distributed several brushes that he uses as part of his last digital painting class, including what is likely the same gouache flat and round, here. You can find those on the reference tab here: https://www.nma.art/videolessons/digital-portraits-after-the-masters-week-1/?course=1490223
