Description

This is a two-part course designed to get you comfortable with the Procreate app for doodling, drawing, importing images, and coloring pages.

In PARTΒ 1 we’ll start with a blank canvas and I’ll show youΒ  how to create our own drawing from scratch.

In PARTΒ 2 I’ll show you how to import a file, let’s say a coloring page you own as a PDF, and then multiple ways to color it.

I will cover the app basic controls, such as the color wheel, brush selection, layer creation and grouping; as well as more advanced effects like bokeh and glitter, and time-lapse recording and replay.

The video lessons are short and sweet, and straight to the point. I want to arm you with the tools you need, and let you go play.

This is not a draw-along or a color-along course. I will be demonstrating effects and techniques on my own creations, but I will not focus on having you recreate them. Though, of course you’re welcome to.
RATHER I will teach you which buttons to press and how to make your own artistic decisions to either draw your own art, or import line work and color it, or both – draw your own characters and turn them into a a complete digital painting.

All you need for this course is the Procreate app and your imagination.
