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.
