Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

In this Skillshare class you’ll learn how to develop a digital image to become your very own illustration for a relief print and transfer your new creation to a relief block so you can make a limited-edition print!

Your project will be to find a reference image via the sources below and use Procreate or another digital program to create an image ready for block transfer. We will focus on mimicking the characteristics of the relief print via the digital realm by referencing Liz Kohler’s Class HERE. Although I will be doing a mini demo, I highly recommend you take her class and download the brush set that she provides by taking her class. 

I will be using Procreate to render the image digitally and will use a royalty free image found online. I’ll take you through the process from start to finish. This class is great for the intermediate student. 

Some familiarity with Procreate + Relief Printmaking will aid you greatly in working through this course; I’ve linked to a Beginner’s course to carving in the project resources if you find you need to brush up on fundamentals.
