About the final project for: Moody Digital Illustration with Procreate

Moody Digital Illustration with Procreate

“You have reached the end of the course! I hope you found plenty of techniques you can take into your future illustrations in Procreate and that you’ve learned some great tips and tricks for working with this powerful illustration tool. Now it's your time to share your course project, but first, let me show you an example of how I would like to see it: The Inspiration First, make a mind map and find reference images. I would highly recommend you make a mood board.

The Sketch Using a pencil brush, sketch out the final composition. Then, add colour to the rough sketch.
The Illustration Start by doing the linework. Then, using the line drawing as a reference, add colours, shadows and lighting. Finally, add textures and noise overlays to make an incredible, unique illustration.
The Animation If you want to go further, make a basic animation for your artwork!
Share your project by clicking on "Create your project"! I would love to see what you've created. Remember to share a picture of each step and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also encourage you to give feedback to other students, compare ideas and share things you may have learned in the process. It's been amazing sharing this adventure with you! I can’t wait to see what you make! See you soon!”

Jim Spendlove is a UK-based freelance illustrator who specializes in cover art. As a child, he loved to draw, recreating artwork from his favorite comics, Beano and Dandy, and even having his work featured at the age of 11. He went on to study art at college, and later, fine art at university where he combined his experience with traditional techniques with digital tools. Inspired by his passion for hip-hop, Jim decided to focus on creating cover art, expanding his portfolio, and attracting commissions on Instagram.

Since then, he’s worked for Lofi Records, Chillpop Music, and a number of independent artists. He also creates loop animations for social media and YouTube and sells his work online.
