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.
