About the final project for: Children’s Illustration with Procreate: Paint Magical Scenes

Children’s Illustration with Procreate: Paint Magical Scenes

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for joining me. I hope you have learned to look at your artwork in a new light and picked up some helpful tips. Remember to approach your illustration with developing your unique artistic voice in mind, so I would like to encourage you to create a piece of artwork that is different from mine. I hope this course will be a source of inspiration for you in your own art journey. As a reminder, I have summarized the main steps you should follow to complete your project: Inspiration Choose the prompt you want to paint. Look for references and create a mood board. Then, decide on the colors and shapes.

Textures Practice using digital brushes and how to build textures. See what effects you can create with them and how they could reflect your personal style. Composition Create digital thumbnails and sketches to explore your ideas. Choose your strongest design and then sketch that one more neatly, ready to colour.
Coloring Paint the image from the background to the foreground. Work with various texture brushes to create depth and dimension within your artwork. Consider how you want to use shade and light to create a certain mood or draw attention to specific elements.
Final Touches Lastly, take a step back from your artwork, view it as a whole, check for mistakes, and make any last adjustments and final touches.
Please share your final illustration in the forum—I can't wait to see what you create! You can do so by clicking on 'Create your project'. Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. Remember, you can revisit the lessons anytime and participate in the forum to find new inspiration from your fellow students. We can give each other extra guidance and encouragement. I will be dropping in to answer questions and take a look at your projects. See you soon! ”

We discussed how to build ideas from scratch, create mood boards, and use those to inspire our final project. We used thumbnails and quick sketches to explore our ideas and choose our strongest design. We worked with various textured brushes to create depth and dimension within our artwork.
