Digitize Your Hand Painted Art with Photoshop: A Step by Step Guide

Hi everyone! 👋 In this video, I’m sharing a step-by-step tutorial on how to digitize hand-painted assets using just your computer and Photoshop! 🎨✨

This process is a game-changer if you want to transform your traditional watercolor or hand-drawn illustrations into digital assets that are easy to:
✔️ Reuse
✔️ Edit
✔️ Incorporate into larger design projects

It’s perfect for artists who love blending analogue painting with digital workflows – whether for pattern design, print-on-demand, or surface design.
