I have began some new training with Bert Monroy, this course will be 3 hrs and cover creating commercial illustrations. We will create all of the components for one master illustration filled with colors, gradients, blending effects and everything in the kitchen sink we can find. :)

Bert Starts with a vector line drawing done in illustrator which we paste as paths into photoshop. From there we start coloring and adding effects. This first illustration was of a lamp. Some of his techniques are a little rough. He does not work with adjustment layers, which is a bit difficult to understand. This below is a quick show of the first project completed, with a screenshot of the layer stack.
