Overview

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

Let's Illustrate Scenes in Procreate for Surface Designers is the perfect intermediate class in Procreate to learn all about the really fun illustration theme of illustrated scenes. Scenes are great to add to your surface design portfolio as they are both fun and versatile. They are especially great and super cozy for seasonal themes such as Christmas or other holidays but they can just as easily be used for everyday themes such as gardening, vacation or simple just for beauty.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?:

All illustrators, artists or surface designers of an intermediate level who have a good grasp of the digital program Procreate. I will not be showing you how to develop an illustration or how to use the tools in Procreate just inspiring you to draw illustrated scenes. Therefore I don't suggest this class for complete beginners.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Supplies you will need to create the class project:

  • Preferably Procreate with the iPad and apple pencil (to follow along exactly as I do.) Otherwise any other drawing tablet and similar drawing program such as Photoshop.
  • Link to my Illustrated Scenes Pinterest board can be found here.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

In this class I will be sharing my process for creating an illustrated scene in Procreate.

We will cover the following:

  • What are illustrated scenes.
  • What is the difference between illustration and surface design.
  • What themes you can illustrate as scenes.
  • How to gather inspiration.
  • How to pick a color palette.
  • My process for developing a scene in Procreate.

If you want to nerd out about digital brushes I suggest this class.

I mention my Digital 101: Get to Know Your Procreate Brushes class several times in this class and highly recommend that you check it out first if you haven't already to really get to know your Procreate brushes and how to incorporate texture in your illustrations. 

Here are links to the brush packs I use in the class:

  • Lisa Glanz Sketcher and Pressure Cooker (affiliate)
  • Shelly Laslo Wet Crayon
  • Asia Orlando Pastel Pencil

I am so excited to share my tips with you and to see what you all come up with in your class projects!
