Pirate Skull Thumbnails + Tutorial

Learn how to create powerful, dramatic, outdoor natural environment thumbnails in this six part Photoshop tutorial series!

I'll show you how I painted six different piratical thumbnails and share the tools and techniques I used to make them, as well as my thought process and a sneaky technique on how to come up with cool ideas!

What you'll get:

- 6 x 30-40 minute videos (condensed down from a couple of hours of footage each)
- narrated over with my thought process when painting thumbnails in Photoshop.
- 2 x bonus videos in real-time explaining a few techniques in more detail.
- Another bonus video showing you a failed thumbnail (just to illustrate how it's healthy to discard your bad ideas).
- 11 x Photoshop Custom Shapes (for making rocks and terrain).
- 5 x palm tree brushes.
- 1 x Brush for making sketchy clouds.
- 1 x Photoshop action to simplify images and reduce their detail, making them less sharp and more painterly.
- Larger resolution jpegs of the 9 final thumbnails.

Drink up me hearties!
