Draw Your Instagram Profile Picture on Procreate

What is the class about?

This class is to help you get started on Procreate.

By the end of this class, you will have created an illustration of yourself. This class will cover:

• Introduction to Procreate's interface
• Brushes and sketching
• Colour theory
• Lights and shadows
• Exporting your digital self-portrait for social media and web
• etc.

Who is this class for?

• This is a beginner’s class for anyone looking to use Procreate
• Basic art knowledge is useful but not required

Why is the class useful?

This class is a great way to introduce Procreate to artists by encouraging students to draw themselves. The completed avatar can also serve as:

• A logo for your business
• A profile picture to your social media channels
• A great exercise to get introduced to Procreate

Materials / Resources 

I will be using the drawing application Procreate on an iPad Pro. You can follow along on any medium as I would still love to see your projects. 

What can I expect from this class?

In this class you will get:

• An introduction to Procreate
• Review a few traditional art basics (i.e. colour theory, lights, shading)
• Practical use of your avatar by learning to export it for social media and web
