Why Take This Class?

Do you want to draw some cute animals but don’t know where to start?

Does the thought of drawing animals overwhelm you?

Do you want to build a daily drawing habit but don’t have lots of time to dedicate to your art?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then this class is for you!

In this class, I will show you how to draw a dreamy whale using my tried and tested formula. Learn how to break an animal down to its basic shapes and create cute, fun and stylised animal illustrations while also learning the basics of the digital drawing app Procreate. I will show you some of the built in Procreate brushes that I use to render my own animal drawings and the best part…I will teach you to do this in just 15 minutes!

Why use Procreate?

As a professional artist I use procreate for all my work, I have illustrated everything from children's books to greetings cards that I have licenced worldwide, I do this solely using procreate. It is my digital art tool of choice because it is super intuitive, it has so many amazing features and tools that produce professional level results and if I have my iPad, I can make art anywhere. And my favourite thing there is no mess to clean up at the end of a project!
