In this class, you'll learn how to create limited color illustrations and palettes on your iPad in Procreate. We’ll cover every step of the process from building new palettes to creating illustrations that are ideal for limited palettes.

We’ll look at how to use the powerful color harmony tools in Procreate to take the guesswork out of making palettes. When you take the class you’ll get the limited color palette workbook I created that helps you build your own palettes from the ground up.

You’ll also get the illustration brush set I created with lots of textures and stamps to help you build limited palette illustrations.

First we’ll create several sets of color palettes so you have plenty of colors to work with throughout the class. Then we’ll create a simple illustration and apply one of the palettes to the drawing. You’ll see how even a monochrome color palette can create an interesting illustration that stands out online.

Next we’ll combine hands in various poses with other objects to create an illustration. I’ll share my hand sketches with you as free downloads so you don’t have to start from scratch. I’ll give you lots of ideas for objects to combine with your hands to create interesting illustrations that invite your viewers to spend more time looking at and thinking about your work.

Last, we’ll juxtapose two or more objects to create a theme or story in an illustration. We’ll apply some of our limited color palettes to the drawing to come up with a few possible color versions so you have lots of options to choose from.

If you struggle with choosing colors for your illustrations or just wish you had more palettes to choose from, this class will show you everything you need to know to start building a palette library full of beautiful color sets.

I created a limited color palette drawing challenge that you’ll learn about at the end of the class. The challenge will help you build a cohesive set of drawings to share on social media or in your portfolio. So stay tuned to the end to learn how to join the challenge.
