This is an introductory class to Procreate and perfect for beginners who want to learn easy ways to make multiple versions of the same base sketch—with just a few quick modifications! I will share my tips and tricks that I’ve mastered throughout my years of experience to make you comfortable with drawing on the iPad. We’ll build a strong foundation while keeping it simple and fun! Art should be fun no matter the medium, right? 

In easy to follow short lessons, you will learn:

• the basics of Procreate— how to use layers, brushes, palettes. 
• How to use the power of observation to translate your reference images into beautiful digital illustrations.
• How to plan your sketch in layers to make your illustrations easily alterable. 
• And four ways to modify your work:

  • Two easy ways to change the color of your outline.
  • Using the default watercolor brushes for texture and transparency.  
  • And a slightly stylized shading and coloring technique.

Finally, we will put together all the versions of our illustrations to make a beautiful inspirational poster! These illustrations can be used as motifs to make your own custom merchandise on Print on Demand sites like Redbubble and Society6.
