Enhance your artwork presentation with professional mockups using Adobe Photoshop! Learn to showcase your designs in realistic environments to impress customers, boost sales on platforms like Etsy, and secure licensing agreements. This course empowers you to visualize your creations on products before investing in physical samples, saving you time and money. Add your own branding for a more polished and marketable look.

You'll master three distinct mockup techniques, progressing from simple to highly detailed:

  • Mockup 1: Wall Calendar & Frame Mockup: A straightforward method for creating compelling visuals of your design on a wall calendar or framed artwork. Learn to isolate the product shape and utilize smart objects for easy design placement.
  • Mockup 2: Cushion Mockup: Discover how to add depth and realism to your designs on cushions by leveraging blending modes to highlight shadows and highlights.
  • Mockup 3: Dress Mockup: Achieve precise and realistic mockups on apparel using the Pen Tool for accurate selections and the Liquify Tool to simulate fabric folds, creases, and curves.

Each lesson builds upon the previous, increasing in complexity and precision. This course is designed to help you confidently overcome challenges and create stunning mockups with ease.

Recommended: Some prior experience with Adobe Photoshop is beneficial, though the course touches on basic techniques. If you need a refresher, consider my class, "10 Photoshop Tips for Surface Designers," which covers essential Photoshop skills tailored for illustrators and surface designers.

This class is ideal for:

  • Online sellers (e.g., Etsy) looking to present their artwork in an appealing and professional manner.
  • Artists seeking to showcase their work to potential clients for licensing.

What you'll need:

  • Adobe Photoshop
  • A photograph of the product you want to mockup. You can use your own image or find one on a royalty-free stock website.
