In this course, Raeioul will teach you to create a series of illustrated characters inspired by a range of products, to digitally illustrate them using Adobe Photoshop and to find an application in a product.

This was a really fun course and I learned a lot, I wish that it had been in illustrator instead of photoshop as I find that easier than so many different layers, but i still enjoyed it, and I liked learning new techniques for coming up with ideas at the start too :)
