Have you ever wanted to learn the basics of how to create digital art in procreate in a simple, fun and straightforward way? Well, this is the class for you.
Join me in this class to learn how to create  minimalist contour line drawings. I will walk you through all the skills and techniques to make your artwork in this style and have provided a ton of freebies to take the guesswork out of the process so you can have fun learning the app and walk away with a beautiful art piece at the end.
What you will learn:
1.First you will create a contour drawing of a simple monstera leaf.
 2.Then you will learn how to add, colour and abstract shapes and texture to add visual interest and dimension to your work.
 3 Finally, you will learn how to export your images as png files with a transparent background and how to use those images in mockups to showcase your work.
Did I mention the FREEBIES in the class resource section which include:
<ul>
<li>A procreate brush set including a contour line stamp brush</li>
<li>a procreate colour palette</li>
<li>a botanical reference image</li>
<li>a Mockup image</li>
<li>Link to my Pinterest board for inspiration  HERE : <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/scill77/one-line-contour-drawing/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pinterest.com.au/scill77/one-line-contour-drawing/</a></li>
<li>Links to my collection of  royalty free mock up images and botanicals from unsplash.
