In this class, you will learn different tools to block in colors with sharp, clean edges and a variety of methods you can use in order to make your pixels stay where they belong.

In this class, we will cover:

• Blocking in colors with the lasso (yes, the lasso) tool
• Using vector masks to block in more challenging forms
• Working with layer masks
• Manipulating and combining selections in order to make all kinds of new selections
• Saving and loading selections for later use
