Learning Intentions:
Learning Intentions:
I will sketch and plan a digital painting concept—character, landscape, or city—based on my own creative vision.
I will use Photoshop brushes to paint with texture, shading, and detail that brings my scene or character to life.
I will work with layers effectively, organizing elements for flexibility and control during the painting process.
I will apply masks to blend and isolate areas of my artwork nondestructively.
I will use light, shadow, and color to create depth, mood, and visual impact.
I will reference real-world textures and forms to enhance realism or stylization in my painting.
I will refine and revise my work, using critiques and feedback to improve composition, clarity, and expression.
I will reflect my personal style and creative choices through thoughtful digital painting techniques.
