Digital Illustration for Beginners Using Procreate

2 Units - 8 video lessons

Introduction
With a Master's degree in art education, I have curated this course to provide the skills you need to create your very own digital illustration. This is great for beginner digital illustration artists or those who'd like to advance basic skills. Color theory, layers, and illustration brush advice are just some of the concepts we will cover. I recommend having access to an Ipad, stylus, and procreate to get the most out of this course.
