Like with fashion, design trends are cyclical and from time to time they reappear, perfected and with a twist. This is the case with airbrushing, which has made the leap into the digital world thanks to artists such as DSORDER—pseudonym of art director Martí Serra—who has replaced the airbrush with a computer to create works that are as nostalgic as they are futuristic.
In this online course, learn to create an illustration using the digital airbrushing technique, simulating the texture of crystals, liquids, and chrome materials without using 3D programs.

Hello! The course is great, the technique is very cool and it's not difficult to start and that it turns out more or less well... The volumes are still a bit difficult for me but when I take references everything is easier. The teacher shows the entire process, which in the end is the most useful thing about this kind of course... I liked it a lot!
