Hi and welcome to this skillshare class on how to create lovely illustrated and stylized birds. I will show you my whole process starting from scratch with sketching all the way to the end result, the finnished illustration. All my skills included, no secrets hidden.

In this class I will teach you:
1. Simple sketching and an easy layout. Refining the sketch.
2. How to choose and pick your colors from reference and translate them to a texturized canvas (included in class).
3. What to look for in an illustrated style
4. How to apply shadows and highlights to get more depth and a more playful look.
5. How to create a Texture free background for printing while leaving the textures on your bird.
6. How to create a sticker white outline for actually create your own stickers (to use digitally or with a plotter)

Shorty said I will teach you everything you need to know so you can create your own fun stylized birds and I will take you step by step into my workflow and thinking proces. Following this process you can actually draw any bird you like. You can follow me along but I will encourage you to create and translate to your own illustration style so you can create your own unique illustrations. Note: I include a special texturized canvas with this class. It has a colorburn so you sometimes have to adapt the colors a bit.

This class is meant for people who have already have a little bit knowledge about the app Procreate so not for true beginners because this is not a class about Procreate itself.
But it is very step by step in real time (so pause and rewind if needed) so everyone can try to follow along. even a beginner.

This class is specially made for the Procreate user, so you will be needing an iPad with the app Procreate on it and a pressure sensitive stylus. But it is alo possible to follow along for illustrating with markers and create textures with colored pencils. Just take the learned skills and translate the process to your own media.

Feel free to use the provided canvas and brushes for any illustration you would like to draw.

So If you are as excited as I am about this class then come in and have some illustration fun together.
See you in class!

Shari
