"Photography is about capturing what we can see. Illustration is about imagining what we can't see."

Join artist, muralist, and professional illustrator Eric Friedensohn (@Efdot) to learn how to combine photography and hand-drawn illustration to create something new and unique. With the use of Procreate, you’ll learn how to transform a photo into a dazzling piece of artwork.

In this class, you will learn how to:

Find inspiration and references to foster a unique approach
Choose a photograph that is ready for remixing
Concept and brainstorm ideas by getting into the “open” mode
Sketch your layout and lettering using Procreate layers
Add color and illustrative elements to create an expressive artwork

By the end of the class, you’ll have your very own original photo-remix. This is a class for beginner to intermediate level artists of all kinds who are looking for a fun and accessible project that can be shared digitally, in print, or for commercial projects

Materials required are an iPad Pro + Procreate app, a sketchbook, pencils, erasers and paint markers. Optional - more paints or colored pencils.
