Become an Illustrator in Procreate: Fox! (Self-Paced)
Class Experience
Welcome, Iโm so glad youโre here! โจ In this class we will make a FOX!!! This is a recorded version of my very popular live digital illustration class. We will use the app Procreate to follow along step-by-step to draw and paint a Fox from a photo reference. โจ This class is designed to get students thinking through how to see like an artist, breaking down the reference into basic shapes and lines, then adding detail, nuance and style. โจ This class is beginner-intermediate, which means...
11 lessons//1 Week
ย Week 1Lesson 1Load Your Reference PhotoIn this video I will show you how to create a new screen-sized canvas, which we can use as a digital sketchbook in all of our classes together! I will also show you how to load your reference photo into Procreate, which is important to look at a lot while you draw! Download the reference photo to your IPad before beginning this lesson!Lesson 2Sketch Torso, Neck and HeadIn this video I will show you how to see and draw the basic shapes of the torso, neck and head of our fox! We use the selection tool and transform tools to help us edit our shapes too. I will also show you how to edit the maximum size of any brush in Procreate. We will use the 6B pencil to sketch our fox.Lesson 3Sketch Front LegsIn this video I will show you how to see and draw the basic shapes of our fox's front legs. We'll learn how to make new layers and why layers are helpful, and we'll use more of our selection and transform tools to help us with our proportions!Lesson 4Sketch Back Legs and TailIn this video I will show you how to see and draw the basic shapes of the back legs and tail of our fox! We'll use select and transform tools, talk about stylizing our drawings, use anchor points to help us measure the correct proportions, and we'll select many layers at once so we can move many objects at the same time, and we'll merge layers! So many things, I can't wait to get started let's go!Lesson 5Clean Up the SketchIn this video we are going to make a new layer so we can trace over our basic shapes with more nuance details! This is where our toes and face will come alive and we'll get rid of the basic shapes we don't need anymore!Lesson 6Add OrangeIn this video we are going to block in the orange in our fox! We practice moving layers, discuss my favorite tools inside the color picker, and learn how to create interesting textured edges! We edit another brush before using it and talk about the opacity slider for your brush, and various options for getting texture even if you don't have an Apple Pencil.Lesson 7Add WhiteIn this video I will show you how to layer white into a new layer! We will learn about smudging and using clipping masks too!Lesson 8Add BlackIn this video I will show you how to add the black to our fox! We will add some, erase some, add some again to get the kind of texture we want. We will also use a clipping mask and talk about a common issue when using clipping masks, and we'll use the Hue/Saturation/Brightness adjustment tools!Lesson 9Add Gray and the FaceIn this video we are going to add a layer of gray to our fox's fur! We will also use black on a new layer to put our fox's face in!Lesson 10Add Yellow-OrangeIn this video I will show you how to add some yellow-orange detail to our fox's fur! We will use a shortcut for selecting a color already on the canvas, and use our hue/saturation/brightness slider to practice finding subtle color and value changes.Lesson 11Finishing TouchesIn this video we will add a few final touches to our fox, including finding spots where we could use more black, white and deeper reds and some gray!

I am a full-time working artist, illustrator and author. I work from my studio everyday on a variety of projects including fine art paintings, collage and picture books! I am self-taught in fine arts after getting a degree in journalism and working in editing, graphic design and marketing for over a decade. I got into teaching kind of by accident by running workshops and classes for my community and my kids' friends and classes at school, then never stopped because I just love kids, love talking about art, and all the energy and ideas that come from being with other artists like your kids!

All my self-paced classes are chunked in small videos so that learners have natural breaks built into their learning experience.
1) IPad (IPhone with Procreate Pocket app works exactly the same, but will look a bit different because itโs compact.) 2) Apple Pencil or third-party stylus is optional, but a lot easier and more fun to use than your finger. 3) Plug it in and keep it charged! ๐
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
In this class we use the professional digital art-making app called Procreate. This app must be used on an IPad (or IPhone as the pocket version), and can be purchased for a one-time fee of about $10 from the app store. No memberships, logins or other in-app purchases are required once you purchase your copy of the app!
