Join digital illustrator Dora Domjan @bydoradomjan for an easy-to-follow, beginner-friendly 28-minute class on making a texturized digital illustration in Procreate from sketch to finished artwork and learn the fundamentals of creating stunning art in Procreate. This is a step-by-step digital drawing tutorial so you can easily follow along even as a beginner.

Would you like to get help in what to draw, how to sketch, and then how to get from line work to colored artwork and then to texturized eye candy? Then join me on this short, easy-to-follow but fun journey and create engaging artworks even as a beginner!

What is the class about?

In this 30 minutes or so we’re going to create an eye-catching illustration in Procreate from ground-up starting with some ideation, inspiration.

Then when we found the answer for the: what to draw? question, we’re going to create a quick sketch, just to have a base idea about the desired outcome. You can either do this in the traditional way by using a pencil and paper, or it's also an option to do the sketching process right away in Procreate.

After sketching, we’re making a final linework of the illustration.

Then from the 3 free Color Palettes provided by @bydoradomjan we're choosing the right colors for our artwork and start to do the fun part: color blocking and drawing our flat style illustration in Procreate. As a final step, we're adding the magical elements, grains and textures ;).

Who is the class for?

This class is for anyone interested in making cute postcards, artworks to post on social, or just need a little fun project to diverse their creative portfolios. However this is a beginner-friendly class, some basic knowledge on how to use the app Procreate is a plus. I will explain every step I take, you can follow along and create the exact same illustration like me, or you can choose your own subject.

Why is the class useful?

Making digital illustrations became a very popular hobby in the last years and there are sooo many possibilities in creating great artwork. I would like to show you one way to personalize your artworks / style in order to stand out. In my opinion these small tasks, where you can try out new techniques can add so much to your personal digital illustration style and helps you diversificate your artwork.

This class can be beneficial for anyone looking for some new techniques, or beginners / hobby artists who would like to learn more about Procreate’s possibilities or even pros who are interested in other digital illustrators techniques, tips.

Materials/Resources

I build this class around using Procreate on an Ipad, be aware that any other graphic tablet and raster based drawing software is also good for this project. I even start the sketching phase on paper with pencil (I’m a person addicted to stationery), so feel free to follow along on any media you like to use. The things I recommend you to have: iPad, Apple Pencil, Internet connection.

I will explain everything I do and we’re building up the class project step-by step from start to finish together, so beginners can also have fun creating with us.

If you would like to dive deeper into how to use Procreate or how to do vector based illustrations I recommend you to check out all the amazing classes about these topics on Skillshare.
