Learn to Paint in 5 minutes | Digital Painting Photoshop Tutorial Beginner

Learn the basics of Digital painting in under 5 minutes! This is a beginner tutorial video in which I will show you how to paint in Photoshop using the basic tools and techniques. You'll learn the brush tool, the eraser tool, custom brushes, hue, saturation and Brightness slider, colour swatches, eye dropper tool and blending. I use Wacom Intuos Pro Medium for almost all my paintings. I also use a Wacom Cintiq 13 hd for some of my drawings.

This is a video related to my general basic workflow and process when I'm painting in Photoshop. Please bear in mind that this is not an in-depth tutorial, this is a beginner level tutorial. I'll create more video tutorials covering more concepts including perspective, values, colour, light, and more advanced techniques including gradient maps, blending modes, photo-texturing, photo-bashing and many more. I believe this is a good example for beginners who want to see and get an idea about how digital paintings are created in Photoshop. Digital painting can definitely be confusing but the more time you invest in it, the easier it becomes. I had a blast working on this illustration and I hope you like the video!

As is the case during these strange times of CV19 YouTube threw this my way. I have a graphics tablet that I have no idea how to use properly and an overwhelming desire to produce digital art. You have just given me a quick, and very informative, lesson. I've hit subscribe and will get to it!
BTW I'm 68 and every day is a school day. NEVER stop learning.

Such a great video! I’m a graphic designer but I’ve always felt like it wasn’t “my place” to make more artist art like this since we’re usually not very “painterly” with our work (unless it calls for it) but it’s always been a side passion of mine. I love looking at all these artists make amazing works like this. You’ve given me the confidence to say “F it!” and begin my journey of digitally painting!

This tutorial was so concise and clear. Everything was perfectly explained. And of top of that you provide brushes. You should rename the video "How to get a subscriber in just 5 minutes". Thank you, sir. Great video.

Imad, all I can say is thanks. There are no words to express how I feel about your channel and the things you have done so far. I stumbled across your channel in search of learning how to create digital drawings and finding brushes to get me started. As a beginner, it is hard to find someone who is willing to share brushes as well as their talent to teach others. Thank you 1 million times over. I have just subscribed and can't wait to get more information from you and to start creating some digital art myself.

[Ostnizdasht]

Defintely the best Ps tutorial I've seen so far. Fast and straight to the point.

[siddharthmadhavan]

Hey man, just found your channel and it’s amazing. Your criminally underrated, keep up the great work :)

[Mapije_art_healer]

I downloaded your brushes a few months ago and have been working with some of them and had to find you back to say thank you and bless you! You are being part of a greater purpose.

[santoshgyawali]

Thank you Imad for the brush set. They are really versatile for someone one like me, who has just started digital illustration journey
