The Lifehacker Night School: Digital Painting 101

As you might know, I do not put a lot of things in this blogs, which are not generated by me (mainly because I use this blog as my productivity log).

So, get out your graphic tablets and get going:

Lesson 1: Get Started Painting on Your Computer

Lesson 3: Mixing Paint

Lesson 4: Layers

Lesson 5: Putting It All Together
