Welcome to Orange Wonderland in Procreate – your happy place for creativity on the iPad! In this illustration class, we will embark on a playful drawing journey. Let's dive into vibrant graphics and create orange superplanets using bright colors, textures, shading, and experimental shapes. I'll also share all my tips and tricks to achieve a super neat graphic look - using only Procreate's built-in tools and brushes.

As part of Skillshare's Procreate Playbook, this class takes your learning one step further. Instead of mastering the steps on your own, this drawing tutorial brings the eBook to life. Together, we will cover each step of the illustration process. Bring your iPad and the Procreate app, and learn how to:

Create a background with a solid color and a halftone texture on top using a special texture brush from Procreate
Draw with consistent linework—one color, one brush, and a limited number of line widths for your brush—for a clean look.
Smart coloring, with color drop, masking, reference, and a limited color palette that you can download for free in the class resources.
The Secrets of Consistent Shading - Work with tinting your base colors, precise drop shadows, and master halftone shadows with confidence.

To take your skills to the next level in Procreate, you'll also learn advanced techniques such as :

Modify your digital brush to easily draw graphic sunbeams without needing expensive additional gear - we use Procreate's built-in brushes and the Brush Studio.
Finally, as an extra super skill, you'll learn how to paint a translucent water effect and add the finishing touches to your drawing.
