Pick your favorite animal and learn how to draw it on your iPad with vintage floral embellishments! This Procreate class is for all levels, from beginner to professional. You’ll learn step-by-step how to illustrate a custom animal silhouette filled with hand-drawn flowers.

Why animal silhouettes with botanical embellishments? Animal motifs and flowers are two of the most popular, on-trend themes in surface design and art licensing. Plus, it’s pretty fun to draw your favorite animal! This class is all about enjoying the process of drawing digitally while learning the fundamentals of Procreate.

The goal isn’t just to create a gorgeous illustration, but also to create something that will sell well. You’re going to learn how to key into what’s trending and how to infuse your own unique artistic voice into your artwork so whatever you create is uniquely you.

This is a comprehensive Procreate course packed with tips and tricks to optimize your creative workflow. You’ll finish the class with a final piece of artwork that’s ready to sell or license through online print-on-demand sites like Society6, marketplaces like Etsy, or anywhere else.

This class is broken down into easy-to-digest segments. Each step will focus on a different skill: brainstorming, thumbnail sketches, color exploration, outlining, filling with color, and finalizing your illustration. You’ll even learn handy tricks like infusing metallic glitter accents, creating multiple color alterations, and cropping and resizing your artwork for various outputs.

Who this class is for:

Anyone who wants to learn digital drawing
Artists
Illustrators
Surface Designers
Hobbyists
Anyone who is interested in drawing on their iPad

This is a beginner-friendly class, so even if you’ve never used Procreate before, you’re going to be able to follow along just fine and create a gorgeous floral animal illustration. And if you’re already a Procreate pro, you’re going to get my best tips & tricks for creating professional-level illustrations.

Just like all my other Procreate classes, I’m packing this one with a ton of free stuff!
