Skillshare – Adobe Photoshop for Artists – Digitize, Present and Monetize Your Art

Students said: "This is a very informative and complex course! I was amazed by the resources, very helpful. I am a hobby crafter, I love painting and this course gave me a bit of a push to take myself more seriously. I haven't really thought about making clip arts from my watercolors...so smart! I hope I can find the ways to get a little money from what I do:) At least to support my craft hoarding:) Thank you for putting this course together. " Lisa Dunham

In the presenting section, you will learn how to create a simple mockup image from a stock photo, how to create a reusable mockup picture where you only need to change the artwork and everything will fit, how to create a complex framed wall art mockup template in which you can change backgrounds and frames as you wish, how to place your artworks on products without the need of actually producing it.
In the monetisation section you will get tips for the start, learn about the possibilities of selling art prints, digital art prints, clip art bundles, and products with your design, by Print on Demand sites, so that all you have to do is to only create amazing artwork, no need for printing, packaging and shipping.
