Do you find it scary to get started on Procreate? Are you lost on where to begin? Here’s a little tip: think DOTS. It does not get simpler than plain old dots, does it? And I’m telling you, that dots are all you need, to create some really fun and satisfying illustrations on Procreate.

If you thought dots are just dots and nothing more, you’re in for a fun and exciting ride. Because guess what- dots make up EVERYTHING! From the cells in your body to the pixels in your TV screen- you can visualize pretty much anything as a collection of dots. So, why not use dots to tell a visual story?

Procreate is my go-to drawing program right now. I love it and use it for everything from drawing for personal projects to illustrating for commercial applications. But, for the first several months since I got the app, I barely created anything at all because I was overwhelmed. There’s a lot of features and tips and tricks to go over and it can all get overwhelming and maybe even boring real fast. Unless you learn by doing. So, that’s what we’re going to do in this class. We’re going to do some very easy and fun bite-sized projects and secretly learn some of the key features of the app along the way! What’s special about these projects is that, throughout all of them, we are going to take the humble dot, and push it as far as we can.

I use my custom Procreate dot stamp brush in almost every lettering or illustration piece I create, because I’m in love with its simplicity and magic. Sometimes, I even create entire compositions using just dots. This class is where I show you how you can make your very own dot stamp brushes and use them in some deceivingly easy and ultra creative ways in your drawing and illustration journey. The class is packed with ideas and inspiration, tips and tricks and actionable bite-sized projects that leave you feeling accomplished.

Join me as we take dots to a whole new level on the iPad drawing app, Procreate.

In this class you will learn:

How to make a dot stamp brush two ways- one with fixed sized dots and one with dots that vary in size according to the pressure you apply on your apple pencil.
How to use the dot stamp brushes you created to illustrate a variety of subjects.
Ideas to simplify and stylize complex shapes using dots.

Plus lots of incredibly useful Procreate tips and shortcuts along the way!
