Create your own face filter to be published on Instagram or Facebook, ready for the world to enjoy!

I will be bringing you through the creation of a filter shown below. You can experience the live filter through this link (Insert link to published filter). This filter is inspired by spreading positivity to the users through bright colours and fun hand-drawn illustrations.

The techniques in this class offer infinite possibilities for you to create a wide range of filters and have complete creative control over them.
