2D Sequence Illustration

Paint your universe. Industry-leading art director Patrick O’Keefe will teach you all of his tricks for quickly laying down compelling compositions, zeroing in with detail and color, then post-processing one gorgeous final piece.

Composition Comps will be the first explorations into how to best tell your story. Here you will create several black & white sketches and choose which you want to bring into the next Lesson for further detailing.

Color Key In this Lesson, you will further flesh out your selected compositions by adding color. You will then present them in this more detailed format, and make your decision about which image to take into the final painting stage.

Final Painting In this Lesson you will finish your painting. First, you will go through the file you’ve created up to this point and organize your layers and shapes. Then, you will take all the steps necessary to bring the painting to its final completed stage.
