Further Digital Drawing and Painting

This course is for more experienced students who wish to further develop digital drawing and painting skills they may already have or for those who have completed the first Digital Drawing and Painting course with Lifelong Learning.
This 10-credit module will cover how to develop further skills following on from the basic digital drawing and painting skills covered in Digital Drawing and Painting I. You will be developing your own digital painting by applying and expanding on the previously learned skills and the new skills within this module. You will create a digital portfolio of tasks and ideas and demonstrate your technical skills by screenshotting and video capturing yourself working. We will cover painting skills, developing texture and detail and useful tips and demonstrations on creating a detailed, finished digital painting.
Each unit will enable you to practice technique, develop your ideas, reflect upon what you have learnt and conduct research to complement your study and extend your learning. Students should aim to complete at least 100 hours of study (even more is advisable) to get the most out of this module and to fulfil the criteria for the course. All module content is accessed through our online learning portal; you need access to a computer, camera/phone camera and to be proficient in using email.
You will need access to a drawing tablet like an iPad or Wacom drawing tablet and the appropriate software like Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, GIMP or Krita, please be aware of this before joining the course.
Your assessment is an ongoing process that takes place throughout the course. It depends upon photographic evidence/screengrab or video demonstration of all the work done throughout the module. You will need to send all written work, photographs of notes taken, together with practical exercises, and photographs/screengrabs of larger pieces and final artwork which forms your portfolio.
