Class Experience

Hello students and parents!
In this one-time lesson, we will practice sketching digitally by tracing a photo with the Procreate app for iPad. First we'll each take a "selfie" using the Procreate application to take a photo, then we will each follow the contours of our own selfie with an Apple Pencil or other compatible stylus. 

Students will practice drawing-by-tracing and be introduced to the following digital drawing methods and techniques: selecting specific areas using the selection tool, a drag-and-drop method of coloring, adjusting the opacity, and using layers to create an illusion of depth. They will also be introduced to the color wheel and color palettes to finish their selfie drawing after the lesson. Each student will need to bring their own iPad with the Procreate application downloaded and installed, as well as an Apple Pencil (or other compatible stylus).

**Students may choose to bring a photo of someone else, such as a parent or sibling, if they prefer!**

* * *

I would love to start a “Gallery” for this class. Once your learner completes the class and their drawing, if you choose to leave a review please include your student’s Cartoon Selfie so that other students can see what they could do with the Procreate drawing application in this course. Thank you!

Hi Everyone! 
My name is Rachel and I teach drawing, painting, sketching, and animating using the Procreate app on iPad. Learners may join with another drawing application or traditional materials, whatever they prefer!*

My family consists of my husband, a cat, and a big doggo! :)

If you don't see a time that works for your family's schedule, please just send me a message and we'll see what we can do!

I look forward to seeing you in class!

*For lessons that include "Procreate" in the description, the application is a requirement of the class.
Except for 2D Animation Club, if a learner is confident in another animation application they may choose to join with it. However, I will not be troubleshooting other apps during these lessons.
