1.1 Introduction

You can't paint realistically without light and shadow. But even if you know what direct light, highlight, and terminator are, it's not enough to create an illusion of depth. Let me show you why!

This course is a follow-up to How to Draw Animals in Perspective. I strongly recommend that you take that course first.

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.
