To paint traditionally, you must buy colors in the physical form of pigments. Digital painting is different, as you create the colors yourself. It's a blessing and a curse for you as an artist. A blessing, because you can create more colors than you'll ever need; a curse, because if you don't understand how to do it, your colors will simply look wrong. To manage your colors properly, you need to understand their components: Hue, Saturation, Brightness, and Value. This very short Coffee Break Course will teach you the fundamentals of color that every digital artist should know.

I'm a Polish artist with a great passion for creating new things—whether by drawing, digital painting, or photo manipulation.
I have 10+ years of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, both for graphic design and for creating unique works of art as well. I hold a degree in graphic design, but nowadays I work as a freelance illustrator and a tutorial author. I specialize in creating realistic art, especially of animals, and I'm good at designing imaginary creatures in a realistic way. I'm a big fan of dragons and feline creatures!
Because I learn the best by teaching, and I love sharing my skills with others, in my free time I like to create educational posts on my own blog. I also share the behind-the-scenes of my art on my Instagram. I consider myself an unofficial ambassador of Sketchbook Pro, a seriously underrated program for digital art, which I use every day in my work.
