Students taking the course are not required to know the basics of operating their digital art software before joining the course. This course is designed for beginner level digital artists!

Students will learn about thier tablet, digital tools, tips, and tricks, that can help push their art to the next level. Not only will this art session reflect a focus on workflow efficiency, but it will serve as a means for improving art skills such as digital sketching, coloring, linework and more. 

The instructor will screen share while providing generalized instruction on how to use the digital device and how to organize the digital workspace. The student(s) will be allowed to screen share so the instructor can provide feedback and assistance when necessary.

The instructor will be using Clip Studio Paint along with a graphic tablet and digital pen/stylus. It is highly recommended that students use a digital pen/stylus. Using a computer mouse or your own finger can be challenging and not efficient when learning how to digitally draw. 

The instructor is also proficient in other art software and is able to use the same software as the student(s) if it matches one of the softwares mentioned below.  

Here is a list of Digital Art Software I use:
- Clip Studio Paint
- Sketchbook
- Medibang Paint
- Procreate
- Krita

Welcome! My name is Rocco Sepulveda. 

I have been a certified teacher for over 10 years. I have also been a Digital Artist for over 10 years as well!

My classroom is a space where learners can shine creatively, make strides towards their artistic goals, and share their passions with each other. It is a safe space where students can openly be themselves. In my courses students will learn to become better artists as they practice different drawing techniques. These techniques include learning to sketch, learning to break a figure down into simple shapes, learning a layered approach to drawing, learning different styles of applying linework, and learning different methods for rendering artwork.  

I look forward to having your learner in my class!
