In your class project, you'll draw a picture that you love, using the grid to guide you. Feel free to share your work in progress or finished piece with our Skillshare community.

Process:

Shoot a photo with your smartphone or use something you already have. You can also browse on social media for ideas.

Don’t feel inspired? Download free stock photos.
I often use Unsplash, because their licence is very easy to understand.

Choose the style and difficulty you're comfortable with.

Some ideas:

Sketch

A quick sketch of your subject, suggesting the main proportions and shades, with a fresh mark-making approach of your choice. You can give yourself a time limit if you want.
Line drawing

The base of your finished piece. It includes the most important shapes and shades, with some level of precision and detail. This will form foundations for the finished work.
Complete artwork

A longer process, aiming at capturing most details of the original picture. Of course, that can be realistic, but not necessarily. It could be in your style too. Choose the brushes you want. You’ll know you’re finished when you’re happy with it!

You’re very welcome to share your work in progress picture and finished piece.

I LOVE to see the time-lapse video included in Procreate. Here is how to share it:

Make sure your Time-lapse Recording is active before starting your drawing

Can't wait to see what amazing work you'll create! Share it with us and contact me for any questions you might have.

Have fun!
