The student will be learning the basics of Procreate which is, but not limited to: Page sizes, layers, clipping masks, color wheel, overlay/multiply layers, layer organization, brush selections, opacity options, brush sizes, selection tool, duplication selection, and pencil-to-ink-to-color drawing process. For drawing animals, we will be using the pencil tool to sketch out the composition, break them down into simple shapes, and then connect the shapes to form the animal. Next, we will select an ink pen tool and draw the animal with black lines that create line art. Time-willing, we will then select a base color for the whole animal and work our way through creating a colored masterpiece using the above basic tools of Procreate. 

Students will also be learning how to draw animals in a cute, semi-realistic style. This will begin using basic shapes and then gradually evolve into their familiar form. Students are free to choose their animal's colors and designs. The animal will be chosen by majority rule. 

I have been working with digital art since 2013. While the programs I've used vary, they all share many of the same tools and ease-of-use. I have worked with Adobe Suites--namely Illustrator, Animation, and Photoshop, and used other programs such as Krita, Clip Art Studio, and Procreate. I am constantly trying out new and exciting digital art programs to keep my knowledge on the subject up to date. I've drawn many illustrations, portraits, web comics, and even vector images as well as animation. This class focuses on the fundamentals of drawing and the basics of Procreate. I have been drawing traditionally since childhood and have always had a passion for teaching and inspiring others on their art journeys.

Homework Offered
Students are welcome to finish their work after class if they don't finish it, and then show it off next class! This is optional, of course. Feel free to color/draw the animals differently. Be as creative as you like! This is merely a guide to practice!
