Do you want to live a more creative life? Do you have a new iPad (or one collecting dust in a drawer) and are curious about how to use it for making art? Are you ready to build a consistent creative practice and tap into your artistic potential? Then it's time to...

We'll start at the very beginning by first introducing you to the popular drawing and painting app, Procreate. I'll guide you through the app's most essential features, then we'll jump into drawing! Over the next four weeks, you'll complete 20 mini-tutorials that focus on different subject matter themes, including food, plants, animals, and objects. Each week, you'll have five short 15-20 minute drawing sessions to complete at your own pace.

In these lessons, I've designed easy and approachable drawings to help you build confidence and keep you motivated as you learn to use Procreate. By the end of the course, you'll have a gallery full of beautiful artwork that you've created, and you'll have gained valuable practice in digital art techniques, improving your drawing skills and training your hands and brain to make art.

This class is perfect for the complete beginner or anyone who wants to rediscover their creativity. Here's just some of what we'll cover:

Learning the Procreate interface
Essential digital art skills like layers, masks, and blend modes
Choosing colors and working with brushes
Shortcuts to make finished art faster
Making the most of a single brush
Shading & lighting
Rendering basic textures
Creating multiple colorways
Making digital collage
Playing with patterns
Using fun Procreate features like symmetry and liquify
And even animation!

I'm Lisa Bardot, and I love helping people find their creativity through drawing on the iPad! I teach millions of people all over the world how to have fun making art in Procreate. This class is based on my experience running Making Art Everyday for the past 5 years. Making Art Everyday is a series of daily drawing prompts, tutorials, and motivation, to help you overcome creative fears and develop your art-making practice. I've learned what it takes to guide beginners in their art-making journey, and I've condensed all the best parts of MAE into the structure of this course.

Kickstart Course Progress Tracker
I know how important it is to see you progress when building a new skill, so I made a handy Progress Tracker for students of this class! It's a .Procreate file so it will be easy for you to add all your illustrations into it. This nifty tracker makes it easy for you to track your drawing progress all in one place.

I look forward to supporting you as you grow and develop as an artist! So grab your iPad, and Apple Pencil, and let's start creating!
