In this lesson, NMA instructor Iliya Mirochnik demonstrates how to bring a figure painting to completion using Clip Studio Paint’s Lasso Fill Tool. Iliya will then show you how to load the painting into Photoshop to add painterly effects and lecture on finding the perfect spot to stop. 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 are located in the Assignments tab of this lesson page. Additionally, students who fulfill the certificate requirements will receive a special badge for display in the NMA community forums and Discord server.
