Master realistic illustration from the ground up

Creating realistic digital art doesn't have to feel overwhelming. With the right guidance, you can build strong fundamentals in drawing, color, lighting, and rendering to create polished illustrations step by step.

Let's start creating! 

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR


Hi, I’m Gal!


I'm a professional artist specializing in realistic and painterly digital illustrations. I trained in classical realism at the Barcelona Academy of Art, then brought that foundation into the gaming industry, working with companies like Moon Active and creating artwork for Counter-Strike.

Since then, I've built a community of over 70,000 artists and mentored students at every level, helping them learn how to create realistic illustrations from scratch.

My method is simple: one problem at a time. Thumbnails first. Then values. Then color. Then rendering. When you stop trying to solve everything at once, your paintings stop falling apart.

If one painting comes out great and the next three fall apart, if you sit down to paint and don't know what to do first, or what comes next, you're not missing talent. You're missing a process. That's what I'm here to give you.

Hey! I’m Paz,


a digital artist from Argentina. I’ve always been drawn to art. Sketching here and there whenever I felt bored or inspired, but I started taking it seriously only when I was 15.

After a vertebra fracture left me resting at home for months, I had a lot of free time and very little to do. I started reading, and soon after, I picked up drawing again — mainly fanart of my favorite characters. At the time, I was obsessed with Percy Jackson, and artists like Viiria and Burdge really inspired me to keep going.

With no formal classes, I learned through tutorials, books, and practice. Slowly, I started improving — and that progress kept me motivated. I eventually joined DeviantArt, where I found a supportive art community that helped me grow and gave me the confidence to share my work online.

Now, I’m excited to share everything I’ve picked up along the way to you with my brand new course: "Painting Digital Characters From Scratch"
