About the video: Basic gestures
Overview
“In this lesson I will teach the basic gestures to make realistic illustrations. When there is no keyboard or mouse, the Procreate application has a series of gestures to undo and redo, select multiple layers, block the alpha channel, etc. You need to know these gestures well (they are done with one, two or three fingers at a time), since they will have to be used constantly throughout the course.”
In this video lesson Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo addresses the topic: Basic gestures, which is part of the Domestika online course: Realistic Painting and Illustration with Procreate. Learn to digitally draw with your iPad and your fingers.
Partial transcription of the video
“In this section, I will show you a series of basic gestures what we will do with our fingers in Procreate. There are more, but you are going to use them all the time When doing this final project. And believe me, they will save you hours of work if we add all these fragments. Let's see them. The first gesture that I want you to learn is the most basic, to "zoom".

A course by Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo
Jaime Sanjuán is a digital designer, illustrator, and painter. He studied fine art at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, where he learned traditional artistic techniques such as oil painting, pastels, clay modeling, etc. However, he decided to swap his brushes and studio for an iPad and the Procreate app, which give him the possibility to explore countless techniques without needing much space and using only his fingers.
Jaime has always been fascinated by realist and hyperrealist painting. It's this aesthetic that he always seeks in his paintings and illustrations, which are full of double meanings and impossible realities. This very particular vision and a highly refined technique have earned him international recognition such as the Communication Arts Award, the American Illustration Award, and the Latin American Illustration Award, enabling him to see his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
