Class Description

Drawing a cityscape is easier than you might think! With my simple approach, you can get started right away on any digital drawing device. Armed with an apple pencil and the Procreate app, I’ll show you how to endlessly sketch compelling cityscape compositions, find color palettes, create thumbnails, and shortcuts that give anyone this ability. “I just don’t know what to draw” will be a thing of the past.

Who is this class for?

This is a beginner level class that should be accessible to a broad spectrum of people. We’re going to use Google Earth to find compositions that you will essentially trace, so knowledge of perspective drawing is not required. We will be using basic Procreate tools that can also be found in most drawing applications so follow along in whatever program you are most comfortable.

Why is this class useful?

This course is based on principles of composition, color, lighting and process specific to digital art that will be highly applicable as you continue growing your skills, whether or not you are drawing in this specific style. You will be able to continue with this illustration into my next class on animating your cityscape.

Materials/Resources

I will be using Procreate but any digital drawing application will work.
I will provide an .abr file (for brushes) that you can download and import to your drawing application. We will only be using two brushes.
All reference images I'm using to create this cityscape.
