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.

Digitizing your hand-painted assets opens up endless possibilities!
- Create patterns for licensing
- Design custom products
- Sell art prints
- Pitch to clients with polished digital work
Once digitized, your artwork becomes versatile, easy to resize, and ready for any creative project.
