Soft Pastels in Procreate: Learn to Draw Birds by Creating a Gorgeous Chickadee

via Skillshare

Overview

Come have fun learning how to get a gorgeous soft pastel look in Procreate. We will be drawing a chickadee in this class and the skills learned here will help you with any other bird drawing as well! I give you all the brushes you need and show you how to make wonderful canvas textures so you can make any canvas size you like!

We will use a couple different reference photos to make the perfect sketch, going into detail about how to develop that sketch. Then I will break down my process for getting a pastel look even though it's digital! 
Pssst, no powdery mess!
