Book Overview

This volume is part of the Digital Painting Tutorial Series and focuses on speed painting techniques. It features nine chapters, each led by a different artist or artist pair, with step-by-step explanations of their choices in Photoshop. The artists discuss color selection, silhouette painting, layer modes such as colour-dodge and multiply, custom brushes, and texture overlays.

The material is presented as a practical tutorial rather than a theoretical manual. It is best suited to digital painters, illustrators, concept artists, and students of digital art who are already familiar with basic Photoshop tools.
