Ink drawings attract many people and now with Inktober being around the corner it’s becoming more and more popular again. For years I’ve admired drawings with a pen and create them myself. Since I’ve got Procreate I’ve been desiring to create them on my iPad too. After trying tons of brushes to get the desired result in Procreate, but never getting it just right, as I like it, I’ve decided to create my own pen and fineliner brushes for Procreate. That really made my transition to Procreate pen drawings from a traditional background a lot easier.
Having some brushes to simulate pen drawings is one thing, knowing how to create these drawings is another thing. Over the years I’ve discovered the secrets of drawing with a pen. Those secrets I’ve translated into 5 easy to follow steps and I’m ready to take you through these steps and the techniques that go with them step-by-step. Even though these techniques are for working with a real pen, I will show you how to effectively use them with your Apple Pencil.
From the first pen stroke to a finished drawing I’m there to coach you through this process. What may seem like a challenge, I make accessible. Together we’re going to take the following steps:
- Setting up the canvas, using the 12 pens, color swatch and provided worksheets.
- Drawing and Sketching with a Pen, is there a difference?
- A simple guide to apply light and shadow to your drawings.
- Going deeper with light and shadow to add even more interest to your drawings.
- The Power of 3.
