Music is often used as a means to express how we feel without the use of words. Illustrator Ataul takes this idea a step even further by capturing the essence of a song and representing it visually. Discover how to pay tribute to your idols by creating illustrations as harmonic as your favorite tune and filling them with color, texture, and shape in Procreate.
In this course, learn how to illustrate with Procreate using basic drawing concepts like geometry, anatomy, lighting, and color. Using your favorite artist or band as inspiration, see how to create a truly eye-catching composition. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use Procreate like a pro and use it for your next big project.

É a primeira vez que vejo um curso tão completo aqui na Domestika. Professor está de parabéns!
As aulas muito relevantes e de duração ideal, além de cortes bem feitos, nos dando tempo para aplicar cada coisa ensinada. O material de apoio absurdamente útil e um aprofundamento ideal para colocar em prática o que se é ensinado. Outro nível de curso! Indico para todo mundo que quer APRENDER e nunca mais esquecer. E poder aplicar enquanto aprende! Perfeito perfeito
