Summer Citrus! Procreate for Beginners — Build Your Skills 3: Composition

Ready to learn more techniques for creating modern, digital illustrations on your iPad using the Procreate app? Then this class is for you! In a small group setting, students will follow along with my step-by-step demonstration to create their own Summer Citrus illustration while furthering their Procreate app skills. We’ll explore using layer masks, adding depth, creating a balanced composition, & more! By the end of this one-time class, students will have the knowledge and skills to create their own balanced compositions with depth and visual interest in Procreate.

~ REQUIRED PRIOR EXPERIENCE  ~
This class is Part 3 of my Procreate for Beginners series. Although we will create an entirely new illustration, this lesson builds off of skills learned in Part 1 and Part 2. 

Before taking this class, students should ALREADY be familiar with...
- The Procreate app interface & navigation.
- Creating custom canvas sizes.
- Using Layers.
- Procreate tools such as the Selection & Transform tools; and the Brush tool to paint, smudge, & erase.
- Selecting colors from their canvas or color wheel & creating color palettes.
- Using Drawing Guides and the Drawing Assist tool to create symmetry.

If you are completely new to the Procreate app, take my "Let's Doodle! Intro To Procreate for Beginners 101" class first. Then, when you are ready to build your skills, take my Procreate for Beginners series classes in order:
1) Tropical Leaves! Procreate for Beginners - Build Your Skills 1: Sketch & Shade
2) Fun With Symmetry! Procreate for Beginners - Build Your Skills 2: Drawing Guides
3) Summer Citrus! Procreate for Beginners - Build Your Skills 3: Composition

*This class is also available as part of a multi-day Procreate course/camp where learners complete all 3 of my Procreate for Beginners series classes in order over the course of 3 class sessions.*

~ CLASS BREAKDOWN ~
Prior to class, students will need to download the class resources (posted in the classroom Welcome Message) to their iPad devices. We have a lot to cover, so preparedness is important. We will begin class with quick introductions so that we can get to know each other. Learners will then follow along with my step-by-step demonstration to create their own Summer Citrus illustration. Interaction and questions throughout the class are encouraged. As an optional homework assignment, learners are encouraged to create another fruit composition using the techniques learned in the lesson.

I can’t wait to see you in class!
