About the video: What will we do in the course?
Overview
“In this course we will start with the search for ideas to learn how to draw them with Procreate. I will tell you about how I look for my references and the importance of using notebooks in my life. I will give you tips to get out of blockages and I will teach you the basics of drawing with the program and how it has helped me improve my work giving it a more loose and artistic result. We will also see how to make our own brushes from scratch. You will see that working in Procreate is like having a complete art studio. You can use charcoals, pencils, discover the warmth of the strokes and how natural it is to draw on the screen as if it were a notebook (but without having to scan or clean the eraser or the sheet) and, above all, have a lot of fun. You will learn drawing resources and discover the ones that best suit you to develop the final project of the course, which consists of making a drawing in black and white using Procreate through the creative process that I usually use for my personal work. ”
