I am a self-taught illustrator who developed my own style by drawing every single day. Now I want to share everything I've learned from working on my iPad in Procreate with you by revealing my personal process, tips and the effects that I use to make illustrations through fun activities we will complete together.
This course is for beginners or people who may have started drawing with Procreate but want to have a better understanding, grasp new concepts and take their drawings to the next level. By the end of this course you will be fully equipped to create beautiful illustrations all on your own.
You will learn how to use reference pictures and where to start looking for inspiration, how to draw a background, work with layers, use blend modes, and how to apply shadows to make a character more interesting by playing with darkness and light.
I will also show you how to tell a story with your illustrations. It is beautiful to create a character, but more fascinating to surround it with an environment, an expression, a mood and a captivating narrative.
Curriculum
Creator
Lis
I’m Lis, a Spanish artist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Since I was a child I loved to draw. While growing up I always thought I had to study in art school first to be able to draw digitally.
My art inspiration comes from my different roots: because I’m Asian but grew up overseas, I get inspiration from these two very different worlds. I also worked in the fashion industry so I’m very fashion-driven and at my core a hunter of beauty.
Nowadays, we have more easily available tools like the iPad pro. When it came out and I saw that it was possible to digitally create anything just by sitting on my couch or in my favorite café, I immediately invested in one. Since then I practiced everyday and absorbed everything I could regarding Procreate.
In this course I will summarize everything I’ve learnt to tell a story through illustrations, focusing on the skills you need most, in a way that you will have a complete and easy guide of my current process. And because I was self taught, I can understand your doubts the same way: I had them once too.
