After the years of drawing on paper, it was a bit tricky for me to switch to digital directly. Some things in digital drawing are very same, others are different. But what was the most challenging for me — it was finding a technique, which would be visually similar to my sketchbook drawing, to make me feel satisfied with it and not to lose kind of a style I already had.
And I think I found it. And of course, want to share with you now!
This class is for those, who wants to draw on iPad, but doesn’t know how to start.
I will show you step by step how I drew the same sketch twice: first with watercolor and then on iPad. You’ll see the similarities and differences of each process on every step. We will set the brushes together to get a proper effect, and I’ll show you how I create my color palettes.
In the end, I will ask you to do the same: to create one sketch twice, traditionally and digitally, and upload it here as your class project.
You will learn how to:
- Draw a digital sketch with outlines and color, step by step with a predictable algorithm
- Not to get lost in Procreate brushes collection, but use particular ones
- Add shades, highlights and textures easily
- Create and use photo references
- Use your experience of traditinal drawing to dive into digital art
This class can be interesting for:
- sketchers
- illustrators
- visual artists
- designers
- any person who likes to draw
Your drawing level doesn't matter for this class. It is suitable for both beginners and professionals.
For this class I use my iPad 2018, not the Pro model, Apple Pencil and the Procreate app. If you don’t have your own iPad yet, this class may answer your question, do you need to buy one or not.
Enjoy!
