Class Experience
In this class, students will learn how to create digital illustrations in Procreate. The class can be beginner-friendly, which means the process will be guided step-by-step. Together, we will learn how to navigate Procreate's various features, become familiar with the color menu and a variety of brushes. For more advanced students, we will improve technical skills by incorporating shading, lighting, rendering details, and applying special effects. - Depending on your current skill level, we will select a theme: beginners will create a cute kawaii-style ice cream, intermediate participants will work on a stylized dragon, and advanced learners will focus on character design. *Procreate is ONLY available for Apple devices. Students MUST have the Procreate app installed on their device before taking this class. For the best drawing experience, I would recommend having an iPad to use for drawing purposes, along with an additional computer or laptop to join our class Zoom meeting simultaneously. My main principle - there are no mistakes and wrong decisions in the creative process! Everyone, even the smallest artist, has his/her own path. In my classes, I will not ask students to mindlessly repeat after me. I will show them step-by-step examples and different options, so students will be able to bring their personal touches and ideas into their artworks.We will also explore creating layers, using adjustment tools, and saving and sharing our artworks.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Tyumen State University
My name is Elena Galindo, and I am a children's book illustrator specializing in creating fun and whimsical digital illustrations in a playful and adorable style. I am excited to introduce myself and share a little bit about me with you.
I have been creating illustrations that bring stories to life with lively characters, cute and cheeky animals, and colorful landscapes. Children are my favorite audience, as they inspire and motivate me to create illustrations that can spark their imagination and ignite their curiosity.
In addition to creating illustrations, I also teach digital art to children. This has given me valuable insight into what children are interested in and what captures their attention. I am always looking for new ways to engage children with my illustrations
I have a bachelor’s and master's degree in Human Resources with a large portion being focused on training and development. I have also taken several art courses in painting techniques. Additionally, as a mother of two, I enjoy teaching my kids about art and languages. I show them the importance of cultural diversity and multicultural integration.
My philosophy is that everyone has the potential to be great. The importance is to guide students with fun and interactive courses to keep their focus on the task at hand.
I would love to be your paintbrush buddy and I hope to see you in my classes. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help.
