Digital Painting for Beginners in Procreate

Welcome to the „Digital Painting for Beginners in Procreate“ Skillshare class.

In this class you will learn how to paint objects realistically. You will be guided through the whole process that precedes the painting itself – analyzing shapes, defining light and shadow and also choosing the right colors.

The class is perfect for very beginners in painting (and drawing too) – the focus of this class is to give you a basic thinking process about objects, how and what to observe and how to apply your observations in practice. 

Beginners tend to make the mistake of thinking that artists just sit down to the canvas or screen and all the beautiful artworks just magically fly out of them  - this causes procrastination, fear of failure and lots of unfinished artworks. Even though try and failure is part of the process, it is important to understand that in all cases, there is a thinking and planning process before the painting itself. If you want to paint an object realistically, you need to analyze the shapes, values and colors....I will show you how.

In this class I will be using an iPad and Procreate, but the concepts can be applied in any media – this class focuses on digital, so you can take the class in any software (Photoshop or Krita) , but feel free to follow me even traditionally.

You don’t need to „know how to draw“ either.

The skills you get from this class will give you the most basic knowledge any artist has to know and will give you a stable base you can build on on your artistic journey. They will set you up for success for sure.

So are you ready to start?
