Why Clients Buy—And Why They Don't

It's one thing to be able to draw your cartoons—quite another to colour them.

The key to colouring isn't just using a paint bucket. Any kid can do that kind of colouring. Instead, you want to create amazing, rich colour.

That's where the amazing power of Photoshop comes into play.

But this amazing power of Photoshop—it's also what slows us down…

When you look at Photoshop, there are hundreds of things to learn. There are palettes, layers, brushes and stuff that can keep you busy all week long. The key to creating amazing colour is to know what to do, and how to achieve those results very quickly.

Presenting ‘Learn How To Colour Using Photoshop': A 4-Week Course

In this course, you'll learn only the tools you need. And you'll these very tools will become second nature. In fact, if someone were to take away the entire tool bar in Photoshop, you'll be working with shortcuts and keyboard commands alone.

Think how freeing that is—to be able to use your entire monitor without having to keep searching for one tool after another. But more importantly, you learn how to use colour in a way that stands out from the rest of the folks out there.

So what progress can you expect?

When you first use Photoshop, you end up making cartoons quite flat. You can, of course, add shadows, but the images still don't pop. You want to create amazing images, and the technology exists.

But you still need a bit of a helping hand. And I should know—I've been there. See the images below, and how one is so much better than the other. It's still Photoshop, but you definitely want to create a superior image, without taking a lot of time.
