About This Class

Overview: Have you ever wanted to paint in oil but have no clue how to get started? If you have an iPad, then this class is for you!

What you will learn: I will teach you how to observe and break any seemingly complicated painting down, and then we’ll do 3 paintings together in Procreate all using my oil brushes. I’ll first quickly show you the common mistake, and then introduce a better way of planning and executing a painting in just a few steps, and that is the routine we’ll follow for all paintings throughout this class.

The focus of this class is 1) layer brushstrokes in a logical and simple way to convey texture, 2) capture lights and shadows with colors. Sketching or getting perfect shapes is not the focus in this beginner’s level class, so I will either provide the sketch or make sure the sketch we’ll do will be very easy. You’ll find a download link in the Class Description section that includes all the resources you need to complete this class, this includes all the oil textured brushes I will use in Procreate, all the reference images, all color palettes and sketches.

Who this class is for: This class is for beginners who have been overwhelmed with advanced or complicated tutorials or techniques. The paintings we are doing together are simple and don’t require previous knowledge in art, and I’ll take your hand and guide you each step of the way. Don’t worry about not getting the shapes, colors or details right because this class comes with all the helpful materials to help you with these aspects. I encourage you to download all the files I spent a lot of time creating so you can make the most out of this class! I’ll see you on the other side.

Transcripts

1. 01 Intro F: Have you ever wanted to paint in oil but have no clue how to get started. If you have an iPad, then this class is for you. I'll teach you how to observe and break any seemingly complicated painting down into a few sections. And then we'll do three paintings together in Procreate, all using my oil brushes. I'll first quickly show you the common mistake. Then introduce a better way of planning and executing a painting in just a few steps. And that is the routine we'll follow for all paintings throughout this class. The focus of this class is number one, layer brushes in a logical and simple way to convey texture. Number two, capture lights and shadows with colors. As you can tell, probably sketching or getting perfect shapes is not the focus in this beginner's level class. So I'll either provide the sketch or make sure the sketch we'll do together or be very, very simple. You find a download link in the Class Description section that includes all the resources you need to complete this class. This includes all the oil textured brushes I will use in Procreate. All the reference images, all color palettes and sketches. You might be wondering who I am and why you should take my class. Well, my name is Millie, and I like to work smarter, not harder. Another type of person that likes to spend two months on a painting or hours after hours don't fixing details to after completing a painting. So if you're a little impatient or even lazy like me, then this class is perfect for you because I take pride in simplifying the process for you and I make sure we stick to it when we practice so you can familiarize herself, but my technique and use it in your next artworks. This class is for beginners who have been overwhelmed by advanced or, or complicated tutorials or techniques. The paintings we're doing together are simple and don't require previous knowledge in arts. And I'll take your hand and guide you each step of the way. Don't worry about not getting the shapes, colors, or details, right? Because this class comes with all the helpful materials you need. I encourage you to download all the files I spent a lot of time creating. So you can make the most out of this class. I'll see you on the other side. 2. 02 Method: We'll first talk about the wrong method, at least run in my opinion, to approach a painting. That is to paint whatever you see, wherever you see first or whatever catches your eye first Dupain left first, and then you filling that gap later, which is used this plan as an example. A lot of people might start with the red because that's the most obvious color. And then start with that. And then they realize, Oh, I can't do all the red, at least not right now because I need to draw the shape of the desert first and then paint red on the edges. Then they draw the shape of the plan. And then realize there are two colors on the body. So might as well separate those now. And Bill the top with brown and then the bottom with the yellow right now. And we'll wrap it up by adding the rest of the red. If your logic is similar to what you just saw, then you want to hear this. What are the dominant colors of this artwork? What looks more like extra decoration on top? What if we follow this order instead? Sketch, then paint brown on top and yellow on the bottom. Before the yellow paint dries to have some brown and the top of the yellow part and blend it and then paint the red details. Our last have to cover some areas more than once if you follow this technique, but the artwork will look a lot more cohesive. The best part is you can paint everything following this method, not just oil. So the better approach we're introducing and we will use it. Sketch, base color, shadows and highlights, blend if necessary, and extra details. Our last, we'll look at a few more examples together so that can help you strategize before painting. The first one we're looking at is a pomegranate made in Procreate using my oil brushes. And it's pretty obvious that the base color is some sort of read write. And then the bottom, especially the bottom-left side, looks really, really dark. But the closer it is to the center, the less dark it is. And the closer it is through the edge, the darker it looks. So there's this gradual shift and the top right looks a lot brighter and we can obviously see some almost white patches. Those are the highlights. If you take a closer look at the texture, it's quite obvious that the brushstrokes are visible. So these are the notes were taking before we come up with a plan, how to approach it? If we're going to paint this together, then this is the rough plan. And we're only talking about the red fruit part, not the top in orange. First, we'll get the shape in a sketch. Then we will cover the entire shape in one red base color. And then we'll add a very, very dark shade of the red on the bottom left. And we will add lighter shades of the red on the top-right. And we will just plan to the strokes together a little bit to form the gradient that we just saw. And eventually we'll add some dry white patches on the top as highlights. Okay, Let's see another oil painting done in Procreate, and this is a strawberry. And we're only looking at the red part now, the top in green, the logic is the same. I just wanted to simplify it for you. So the base color is some sort of read again. And if you take a closer look, the edges are darker, the outside area, right? And in fact, the closer it is to the center, the brighter it is, the farther away the darker. And there are some white little highlights in the very center, right? And also I can see some smudged brushstrokes as well. So I'm taking notes. I want to add brushstrokes on top and then use the blender to create this much to look. If we're going to do this rubbery together, then this is the rough plan. First, we're going to do the sketch and then we'll cover the shapes up completely in our base color red. And then we'll move to the darker shade and just use that to cover the edges. And then we'll choose the second darkest shade of red. And just paint next to the edges. And we'll move closer and closer to the center. And then we'll use very light shade in the very center and will use almost white color on the very top as highlights. And then we'll use the blender to smudge some of the brushstrokes while leaving some traces without completely smudging them into one big smush. Finally, we will add some seats on the very top. Well, we can just talk the talk, right? It's time to walk the walk with three more examples. 3. 03 Painting 1: Olive: The first subject to paint in this class is a beautiful Olive Branch. I got the reference image from Travefy on Canvas. Let's first observe the reference image so we know how to approach it. It's obvious that there are three parts, branch, leaves and olives. And therefore main colors used. Brown for brunch, green for leaves, and purple and orange for Alex. Alright, that's not so hard. Let's take a closer look. There are some darker and also lighter colors added on top of each element. And the highlights look almost white or actually pure white. I marked the differences in colors. So what I'm talking about and about the texture, it seems that the base is just a normal oil or acrylic texture, but the shadows and highlights look really, really dry. We can even see the crystals on the brush. So I'm taking a mental note and we'll pick brushes that perform this way. Alright, It's not hard to make a plan following this observation. Here's what I'll do roughly. First, I'll make a color palette of for base colors. Then I will add darker shades and also lighter shades of the same colors to the palette. Then I will start painting with the base colors. After that, I will add some darker strokes on top as shadows, and also lighter strokes on top as highlights. Finally, I'll just move in the rough edges and then that's it. Since I already made the color palette for you, you can skip the next step. But I strongly recommend that you learn and use this method for all future color picking. Because this is the best way to easily make a harmonious pallet with a few dominant colors and a bunch of supporting colors. You see our palate looks really full, but the painting looks harmonious because there are only four main colors plus white. Of the four main colors, only two are vibrant and eye-catching, while the other two, the brown and green, are more low key. A trick to picking different shades of the same color as to move your slider diagonally towards the bottom-right for darker shades and towards the top left for lighter shades. Let's get the project started. We'll start by opening a new canvas of 3,000 by 3,000 pixels at 300 DPI. Assuming you've already downloaded my files, I want you to insert the Olive sketch onto the canvas just by tapping the wrench icon. Then tap, Add, then insert a file or insert a photo, depending on how you saved it. If you like the way it looks on your screen, do nothing. But if you want to change the orientation, just tap the arrow icon, and then drag the green God around. You can use one finger to drag it to the center. Once you're happy with the way it looks on your screen, reduce its opacity, and do that. You want to tap the double square layer panel and then tap the N side, and then move the slider to about 20%. With all the prep work done, the actual painting stars now tap the double square layer panel, then tap the plus sign to add a new layer. You can use one finger to drag the new layer and place it below the sketch and then released their finger, will begin painting on this new layer sun and will use my classical IL-2 0.0 set for them. The first brush we're going to use is called wet on dry streaky. Assuming you've downloaded all resources. Now, all you need to do to get the Brush is to find the Brush Set file from your iPad and then tap it once to upload. Now you can find it in Procreate just by tapping the brush side. And they should be the first set in the very top of your brush library. Just tap that to reveal all brushes in this set will use this brush for two purposes. Outline and filling each product Olive. We wanted to use the second darkest shade of each color for this step. Feel free to take the palate to the canvas with you so you don't have to open the color panel every time you pick a new color. To enable this function, all you need to do is tap the round color icon and then drag the horizontal line to the left. I'll start by outlining and filling in the branches, then move to the leaves, followed by the olives. You want to make sure they're on three different layers. Because the branches are very thing and the leaves and olives are much broader, it helps to adjust your brush size as you go. The top slider on the left is for controlling Brush Size. Make the most out of the texture. So my oil brushes try not to paint the same area more than once. Because overlapping strokes will cover the textures. For this particular brush. Though. The lighter you press, the more texture is this shows, I know it's weird, but it just works that way. Also. It's okay if there are some small gaps between your strokes. I think they look quite realistic this way. I'm pretty cute. The painting in layers should now look something like this. The base is now complete. Did you think there'll be this easy? We're halfway there already actually. Next, we will need to paint the darker and lighter areas. We'll start with the branches as usual. I want you to add a new layer and drag it directly on top of the colored branch layer. Because we don't want our new strokes to go outside the existing branch area. We want to tap the new layer and set it to Clipping Mask. Alright, let's use the dry massive brush to add a darker and lighter shade to the branches. This is not intended as a super realistic painting anyways, so I wouldn't be too scientific about where to place these. A general rule of thumb though, as the areas that are supposed to be covered by other elements are supposed to be in the shade of other elements, tend to look darker. Areas, dephase, not abstraction from the light source tend to be the brightest. I'll pick the darkest shade of brown and color the bottom part of the thickest branch first. And then also the branch does in the middle because light may be obstructed by all these leaves around it. I'll use a lighter shade for the top of the branch. Because the branches are very thing. We'll have to reduce the brush size for that. When we paint it the base layer, we use the same brown for the center of each leaf, and we will lighten these now. Now the Brunch is done. That's just repeat the same step for the leaves and elipse. That means we need to add a new layer directly on top of the leaves layer. Another layer directly on top of the olives layer. Clipping mask needs to be enabled for both of these new layers. For the leaves, I will focus the dark shade on areas that seem to be under an Olive and some random places near the edges for the lips. The same logic applies. I will focus on areas that seem to be under a leaf and random places near the edges. I will focus the lighter shades mostly on the center of each element. And I'll be careful not to cover the entire base that we spent so much time painting before. All right, Finally, let's use the semi wet bristle brush to adding a white highlight for the leaves. And Alex, I'll just focus that in the very center. With all the heavy lifting done. Now, all we need to do is to smoothen some of the brushstrokes. To do that, we need everything to be on the same layer. But I don't want to merge all layers into one because I may want to change the colors for certain elements or make other changes in future. So a non-destructive way to do this, or B2B first, make a copy and then merge the coffee into one flat image. To do that, just swipe right on each layer you want to select. And we don't want the sketch. Then tap group, then swipe left on the new group, tap Duplicate, then tap the top group, and then tap flatten. Now we have a flat image of all the layers merged into one. We also have the original layers in a group. Awesome. Toggle off the visibility for the group below, and then the sketch layer as well. Using the Smudge tool, not the Painting tool. Let's select the blender bone dry brush, and start smoothening out some of the edges. Okay, you can stop here if you want. The painting is done. But I just wanted to quickly add a light beige color for the background. The background color is by default white in Procreate. You can either change here by opening the layer panel, scrolling all the way to the bottom to find a background color and tapping any new color. Or you can just add a new layer and drag it all the way to the very bottom and find a new color you want to use and drag it onto the canvas. If you followed along a major first Olive painting in oil, I want you to pat yourself on the shoulder for me. I told you it wouldn't be so difficult to deny 4. 04 Painting 2: Bird: The next painting we're gonna do is this colorful bird. I found the reference image from the public domain. As usual. Let's observe the reference image first. We have a good idea what to do next. There are again four main colors. We see dark blue, yellow, red, and brown. The challenge here is to convey the textures of the feather. I also want the oil texture in this piece to look slightly wider than the Olive. Because I want to create the look of wet paint smearing into each other. Alright, here's the plan following the observation. First, I'll make a color palette of these four main colors. I'll also add darker and lighter shades for each color. I did this for you already. Then we'll break the Bird down into four main parts following the colors. Since there's a lot of ground to cover, will work smarter, not harder this time by not painting everything ourselves. That's the beauty of digital painting. I'll show you how interests a bit. And as usual, we'll follow the routine base color, then darker or lighter areas highlights on top. For this one, we want to add a little extra IO texture and then in the end, blend everything to smooth and rough edges. The tools we'll be using for making this painting is my effortless. I'll set, which is also included in your downloads. As usual, open a new canvas. I'm just gonna do my usual 3,000 by 3,000 pixels, add 300 AVI. You do whatever you want. If you've purchased my Bird stamps, you can just use Bird 15. Just dump it onto the center of the canvas. If now no problem, you can add the sketch that I'm providing for this course using the same method I showed you in the Olive video. I showed you one wage lower the layer's opacity. Here's another one. You can just tap the N sin in your layer panel and then look for multiply. Next. Just we're fine. We can add an Oil background. I'm just inserting Oil background 12 and place it on the bottom most layer. The painting starts. As usual. You can drag the color palette tab to the side to make this process easier. Will use the detailed grunge brush to outline and filling each section of the word. And we'll use the second darkest color as usual for this step. Let's start by outlining and filling in the dark blue parts of the Bird, which includes the beak, wings, legs, and tell. For this method to work though, you have to make sure you draw a closed shape first and then drag the coloring side. If there's any opening and the shape, it won't work. You can always toggle off the sketch layer to check your shape. Next in a new layer, filling the red parts, which includes the lower chest and upper tail. Next in another new layer filling the yellow parts, which is just the chest area. Then in another new layer, instead of using the second darkest yellow, will be using the lightest yellow shade for the facial area, beginning of the beat, and the color dividing the yellow and red on the chest area. Finally, it's time to filling the tree branch with Brown in another layer. Of course. The base layer is now complete. Remember I told you that we're going to work smarter, not harder. That's what I meant. We covered everything without having to paint anything yet. The next step is to add the darker and lighter colors. As usual, we need to add a new layer directly on top of each existing layer, but not counting the stamp. And we need to enable clipping mask for all these new layers. Will use thick oil three Brush to complete this step. And we can use the stamp and original image as a guide for color placement. For the blue part, the lines on the stamp indicate where you need to add darker shades for shadows in the wind. So that makes our work a little easier. You can follow the video for a color placement if you want, because it should be clearer than the vintage photo. As usual or routine tells us we need to flatten the image at this point for extra work on top So we're just group all layers except the sketch and duplicate the group afterwards, flattened the top group into one image. Let's quickly adding the details for the face and class using the thick oil three Brush for the I, just darken the circle with dark blue and orange and filling the pupil living to white spots as highlights. Let's not over-complicate. This is not important for the class. Just paint the area where the Class touched the branch with the yellow color. That's it. We're almost done with this Bird at this point. It might say the paint seems to smooth and it doesn't quite look like oil or acrylic. It's never too late to add that texture. Let's add a new layer on top of this and set the blending mode to add, reduce its opacity to about 20:30 percent. Then we'll use palette knife one brush to add anymore all you texture to the artwork. We can just use a plain white color for some quick highlights. Follow the better you see where you can do this. You can ever go wrong adding the highlights to places you previously used, the lightest shades and nearby areas. The only thing left now is blending. So we'll just turn off the Bird stamp for now. Tap the hand sign for a blending tool. Then select the thick IL-3 Brush and just start smoothening out some of the edges on the current highlight layer. Make sure you use short sweeping strokes when you're blending and don't overdo it. You also want to make sure your brush size is fairly small for this purpose. Otherwise too much paint will be pulled. We'll do the same for the flattened Bird layer. Make sure you blend out harsh edges like the shading and highlights we just added. And also the division between the colors of the bird and the outer edges of the feathers. One technique I love is to pull paint of one color into another color. And the longer you go, the less color is pulled. It looks like a traditional Brush, slowly running out of paint, creating that perfect log of two colors running into each other. Okay, that's done. But if you don't like the way the aisle background compliments to painting, you can adjust some settings now to fit your liking. I'll play with blending mode to find a color I like better. Also, I think a look better if we just zooming on it. So tap the arrow side and use two fingers to expand it. And when you're happy, just tap the arrow sign again to exit. Voila. There you have it. A colorful bird with IO textures 5. 05 Painting 3: Candles: In the last video, we'll make a set of four Candles in two different colors. But don't worry, we'll continue to work smarter, not harder. We're only paint one Candle plus one wick and flame. And then I'll show you some tricks to duplicate, resize, relocate, and re-color one Candle to create many, many more in seconds. Before starting as usual, you want to drag the color palette to the side. Let's first sketch. This one is super easy, so I encourage you to follow along, but you can always download mine to use any brush to sketch. But in this case, I'm using detail to Brush at 2% size. We'll pick the darkest blue color to outline a cylinder that resembles a Candle first and do your best to draw an ark. But don't lift your Apple pencil when you're done, don't lift it. Just wait for 2 s or so. And it will autocorrect your ARC into this perfect one. See, repeat that in the bottom, and then draw one vertical line the same way. Don't lift your Apple pencil when you're done and illustrate and sit up for you to repeat another line on the right. And finally, one final Arc. Next you guys did. We'll add a new layer below the sketch to blocking the base color. I'm using palette knife Canvas Brush at 50% opacity and five per cent size. I'll choose the second darkest blue color. To blogging the Candles body. Feel free to experiment with the size and opacity if you want. And you can also try to press harder and lighter on the screen with your Apple pencil just to see what textures you're getting in which you liked the most. Don't worry too much of this patch here first, because we're be layering watercolors on top. You're going to erase any imperfections on the edges afterwards if necessary. This object looks better with a defined outlines. So we're going to merge the outline layer and color layer just by painting them into each other with two fingers. If you've been paying attention, then you know, in the next step we will add, you write the shadows and highlights. Since I want us our work to have a rougher texture, I will use the dry feather brush for this and the size is at about 20%. I want the top part that's closer to us to look darker. And social edges and the bottom of the Candle, since it's not supposed to be a realistic painting anyways, I'm just going to add the highlight in random places, like the center near the wick and next to the darker shade on the body for contrast. At this point, the body of the Candle is done. Next, we will just add the wax strip, will use the same brush, but let's lower the size to about 3%. I promise it's easier than it looks. Okay. Let's just start by using the darkest blue color to roughly outline a wax strip. You can shape it however you want. And then we'll just shade the base of the wax strip with the second lightest color. Then use the lightest color to add a stronger highlight around the edges of the wax strip and the rim of the Candle. Please follow the video to see where exactly you need to add these colors. See it wasn't that hard, right? It's just like our routine of adding colors on top of each other. Next, let's add the a flame in a new layer will use the darkest blue color for the WIC. It's very easy. Just draw a vertical little line in the center and then you have it, the work is done. Next, we will use the second darkest orange color for the base of the flame. The exact shape doesn't matter too much. Just painted like number eight and make the top point here. All right, Finally, let's just add the shading with the darkest orange in the center. And then a few strokes of white as highlights near the edges. See even with the tiny little D is how we'll just following the routine. Now the painting part is done. We'll just need to smudge some of the brushstrokes. Let's switch to the blender tool and find blender. Old bristle brush will use 15% also size for smaller areas and then increase that to 30 to 40% size for covering larger areas. Well, first you start to smoothen some of the edges of the flame and then move to the body of the Candle. You want to use this tool moderately to preserve the textures. Here are two tips for our blending in general. One, you want to use short sweeping motions instead of dragging your Apple pencil across the canvas to If you're using a larger brush size for blending, you can consider tapping on the canvas instead of dragging the pencil. Just tap, tap, tap like a stamp. Make sure you don't touch the line that divides the top of the Candle and the body. And be careful around the edges. In general, if you want to preserve the rougher look, just much were to very distinctive colors meet like in this case where the shadows and highlights meet and you can leave the rest. But of course you can continue blending like I am doing for a smoother look is now complete. It's time to turn this one into four. Okay, let's group these two layers together and turn off the layer visibility for now. And you want to duplicate this group three times. It's time to modify these Candles individually so that they all look different. And I'm going to work from bottom up and we'll leave the first one as is for the second Candle. Select the Candles body layer by tapping once and it should look blue now. And we'll use the transform tool to make a low shorter. For that, you need to tap the arrow side and make sure you're on Free Form mode. When you drag the blue dot from the top downward, the height will change, but not the what. You can also just make the Candle thinner without making a taller or shorter by moving the blue dot on the side. Isn't that neat? Okay, now you can select the flame layer and move it down. You can use the Transform tool again to change the size of the flame if you want. But you can also adjust the direction of the flame using warp and then adjusting the growth a little bit. Repeat the same steps for the next two Candles. Just make sure that each have a different size. To add more variations to these Candles, You can flip one or two of them horizontally using the transform tool. Just first select the Candle you want to flip and then tap the arrow side and then flip horizontal. Next is time to arrange these Candles. Please see my reference image for placement. You need to make sure that all group layers are toggled on. And inside each group, each individual layer is also toggled on. And you need to turn on the transform tool and use one finger to move each group. When you just tap a group and then tap the arrow side and then use a finger to move them. Everything inside a group moves with you at the same time. You can also tweak the sizing. Now if necessary. It might be thinking, don't want all Candles to have the same color. Is it too late to do anything? Of course not. Let's just pick up a brush and start painting again. I'm just kidding. I'll show you a trick to recolor some of the Candles in 1 s. Let's choose the second lightest white-collar for now and just drag it onto Candles two. And for the entire Candles look different. And it's even capital shadows, highlights, wax trips and everything. Just make sure when you're trying to drag any color into anything, the particular layer that you're trying to do our coloring two needs to be active. For example, you need to tap Candle 2s body layer. Just tap it once to make sure it's blue and then drag the coloring. I'm only if you want to add a little shadow that's cast by the Candles, You can do that now. Make sure you add a new layer directly on top of the background layer and choose any shade of blue wheel-like any brush you like to just draw some lines under the Candles and then lower the layer's opacity until you're happy with how it looks. It's not super realistic anyways, so don't sweat the little details. And looked a little intimidating, didn't it? I mean, for Candles plus wax, strip, plus work and flame. But it can still be done just by following our routine of sketch, base, color, shadows, highlights, blend, and extra details, right? I hope painting these three artworks with me has helped you understand my simple Method and has given some of you the confidence boost you need to start painting on your own. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you hanging. I prepared some more things to help you in the project section 6. 06 Project: The project for this class is very interesting. First, I want you to observe the three paintings that I picked for you and make a plan for each one of them, just like how we did together. And to, I want you to paint at least one artwork following the videos using my brushes. One of the three would just did together. Again, you can find all the resources, including the three paintings that I just showed to you and my Procreate brushes in the link in Class Description. And if you don't think that is challenging enough, you can always choose to paint one of the exercise examples after making the plan 7. 07 Reminders: Before you get started on your own, I wanted to give you a few quick reminders. One, every time before you paint using a reference image, you have to have some sort of strategy. And you have that. You have to observe the reference image and make notes. And to you want to start with the base color and then add shadows and highlights on top. Then give it a blend if necessary. And only then do you add the extra details, the dry details, the eye-catching details on the top in the very end. And three, you need to pick brushes that behave the way you want. Let's take oil for example. There are wetter looks, paint smearing into each other. They're also dry or looks like the dry details we just saw on the Olive. I'm giving you a lot of options for brushes in the download and you need to use the right one for the right purpose. And I trust that will be pretty easy because I labeled all of them already, what exactly they do. And lastly, you don't want to over paint or over blend the same area. Well, Digital Painting behaves a bit differently from actual oil. In traditional oil. The more strokes to add, maybe the more obvious to texture is, but that's totally, totally the opposite in Procreate with my brushes. And if you over paint the same area, add so many strokes on top of each other, you end up covering the textures. So be careful 8. 08 What's Next...: If you've stayed till the end, then you must resonate with my teaching style. Then you should probably check out my previous Skillshare class. Beginners Procreate watercolor, where teach you how to paint four different subjects step-by-step. It also comes with all the nice materials just like this class, including 27 of my best-selling acrylics watercolor brushes for Procreate. I plan to publish more classes here, so make sure you follow this account so you can be notified the next time a new class comes out. Meanwhile, you can find me at Millie ProcreateBundle on Instagram and TikTok. If you want some quick inspirations or add ProcreateBundle on YouTube. If we're looking for more brushes, you can check out my website procreatebundle.com. And if you wanted to practice more painting with my ready-made sketches or coloring pages, then you can find them there as well. Alrighty, I'll see you in the next class.
