Each of us has its unique perspective about the outside world,and that makes it beautiful and inspiring.

By taking this Procreate illustration class, you will get to know core principles about landscape designing, while creating a gorgeous nature inspired composition and exercising your drawing skills on your iPad.

Understanding the notions about landscape is very important for any visual artist that wants to explore different ways of expression. This will not only open a broad field that deserves to be explored, but a new scenery where the artist can play and create its own unique world.

This class is all about learning to create a simple but very descriptive digital landscape using expressive lines and just two main colours. With a limited color palette that will dance together to create unity and harmony, you will be able to focus on creating shapes that are interesting and descriptive, to describe your natural composition. This way, you will get a better understanding of the landscape principles like balance, focalisation and simplicity.

You will learn the basic concepts and principles that are applied when creating a landscape, whether it’s from imagination or real life, no matter the technique:

Rhythm and Line: You will create a clear direction for your composition using color, and concise lines to describe your landscape. After that, to make your experience feel less tedious, you will get to duplicate different elements of the composition and play with their shape, to ease your workflow and understand scaling as well.

Focalization: Color contrast is another big theme of this class, and you will learn to play with it and subtly use it to emphasize certain areas.

Unity: You will create unity for your landscape by using similar shapes and patterns to describe different elements. Color will be the second main element to bring unity for your composition.

Simplicity: Creating a landscape relies on understanding the big shapes and keeping them simple. After you have described the big shapes of the composition, you will add details that help you bring variety and personality.

Proportion: You will learn to create perspective for your artwork, playing with the scale and the shape of the elements.

Balance: Following the basic concepts and principles and using color, form and scale, as well as weight and direction, you will learn to compose your landscape so it can have balance.

When creating this landscape, you will use flat shapes to describe the main shapes that you will focus on, and just small amounts of textures, here and there, to create a beautiful sense of depth and volume.

By taking this class, you will learn in an easy way how fun it can be to create a rich and well balanced landscape that describes through shape a natural landscape, and through color, a fantastic fairy tale story.

You will learn how to scale the elements differently in order to create a sense of perspective and how to use color contrast to give it a fairy tale atmosphere.

By taking this class, you will both get a better understanding of how to build landscape scenery and you will exercise your drawing skills, while also playing with shapes and color contrast.

You will learn how to organize the layers you work with in order to have an easy to read and clean composition. Working with layers is a very useful habit that you can practice in this class, so you will get to do that while understanding core notions about perspective.

Following the step by step guidance, you will get to design this Procreate landscape in order to make it visibly appealing and aesthetic.
