Course Description

Overview

In this class, I will take you step-by-step through a 15-step process to create a full digital illustration in Procreate,  like the artwork you see on the image below.

You'll learn strategies and skills that you can apply to your own illustration practice, including how to come up with your own characters, create powerful silhouettes, add eye-catching features, use harmonious colors, and set mood with light and shadow. And most importantly, you'll learn how to tell a story through your illustrations.

We'll be using the iPad Pro and Procreate, so it's recommended that you have these tools and a basic knowledge of the program. However, I'll be providing detailed notes and commenting on everything, so even if you're new to Procreate, you'll be able to follow along. If you prefer, you can also use different programs like Photoshop, but you'll need to adjust the steps accordingly.

This class is perfect for beginners, whether you're taking illustration as a professional path or a hobby. The skills you'll learn will open many doors for you and change your mindset about approaching a project, so you'll be able to create illustrations with confidence and without unnecessary stress or procrastination.

So, if you're ready to take your illustration skills to the next level and create a full illustration like this, join the class now!
