Procreate & Chill: Unwind with Easy, Digital Illustrations for Self-Care
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Who needs to chill? This class is for anyone who wants to unwind and create some relaxing artwork, no strings attached. By approaching art with a laid-back and meditative mindset, you'll learn how to use simple illustration techniques to bring a little more self-care and tranquility into your life.
This Procreate class is for everyone, whether you're brand new to Procreate or already an experienced artist. All you need is an iPad, the app Procreate, and an open mind. A few scented candles probably wouldn't hurt, either.
The purpose of this class is to infuse a mindful and calm approach into your creativity. We'll get there by embracing repetitive brushstrokes and abstract linework with a chill background soundtrack.
