In this class I’ll teach you how to use layers and masks in Procreate in a fun and hands-on way. Layers and masks allow you to create easy to navigate and organized files with the possibility to create cool effects and add textures and depth to your artwork. I’ll show you all this while we create actual illustrations so you don’t have to be confused with theory, you'll just start applying it as you draw.

ARE MASKS AND LAYERS CONFUSING YOU?

Are you ready to start creating awesome illustrations in Procreate and then you open it up and get all confused with layers and masks? Maybe you’re not even sure of what a layer is. What if you’re thinking “What masks?” It’s happened to the best of us! But fear not, this class will help you solve all your questions.

YOU WILL LEARN:

Why layers are so great and how they can make your life easier.
How to set up your canvas, install your brushes and color palettes.
