Do you want to live a more creative life? Do you have a new iPad (or one collecting dust in a drawer) and are curious about how to use it for making art? Are you ready to build a consistent creative practice and tap into your artistic potential? Then it’s time to…
We’ll start at the very beginning by first introducing you to the popular drawing and painting app, Procreate. I’ll guide you through the app’s most essential features, then we’ll jump into drawing! Over the next four weeks, you’ll complete 20 mini-tutorials that focus on different subject matter themes, including food, plants, animals, and objects. Each week, you’ll have five short 15-20 minute drawing sessions to complete at your own pace.
In these lessons, I’ve designed easy and approachable drawings to help you build confidence and keep you motivated as you learn to use Procreate. By the end of the course, you’ll have a gallery full of beautiful artwork that you’ve created, and you’ll have gained valuable practice in digital art techniques, improving your drawing skills and training your hands and brain to make art.
This class is perfect for the complete beginner or anyone who wants to rediscover their creativity. Here’s just some of what we’ll cover:
- Learning the Procreate interface
- Essential digital art skills like layers, masks, and blend modes
- Choosing colors and working with brushes
- Shortcuts to make finished art faster
- Making the most of a single brush
- Shading & lighting
- Rendering basic textures
- Creating multiple colorways
- Making digital collage
- Playing with patterns
- Using fun Procreate features like symmetry and liquify
- And even animation!
