About This Class
Learn how to paint a realistic rose in Procreate with illustrator Yaşar Vurdem, known for his portrait work and collaborations with Billie Eilish, Adobe, and Prime Video. In this class, you’ll discover a clear, step-by-step workflow for creating soft petals, natural lighting, smooth gradients, and lifelike textures even if you’re new to digital painting.
Yaşar will guide you through building the structure of a rose, shaping each petal, blending colors for soft transitions, and adding the final touches that make a rose feel delicate, dimensional, and alive. This class focuses on simple techniques that create professional-quality results.
Why This Class

This class gives you a complete, beginner-friendly system to paint flowers with confidence. You’ll learn the exact techniques Yaşar uses in his professional work, making it easier to produce artwork you’ll be proud to share.
