Teen Procreate: aprende a dibujar, pintar, sombrear y diseñar arte digital | Todos los niveles

This friendly, fun class explores a variety of techniques, styles and subjects each week by encouraging experimentation with a new weekly prompt! Learners are guided in art fundamentals like observational skills, drawing, color palettes, line weight and style, lighting, shadow, shading, perspective, foreshortening, texture and more. Each week is different, and provides a steady practice that builds over time into confidence and trusted intuition that encourages experimenting, customizing so each learner can learn at their own pace.

✨  Learners have the opportunity to get individual feedback each week, learn what it’s like to be an illustrator and what kinds of jobs illustrators can get, while gaining confidence in the technical side of creating digital art like saving and sending files, learning about file creation, color modes, resolution and file types.

✨  GROWTH MINDSET ✨
In our classes, we are building a multi-layered scaffolding of the love of learning that is rooted in the idea that we can find inspiration every day to start again right where we are, finding satisfaction and pride in seeing our progress! Learners who stick with our classes over time come to believe that experimenting, problem solving, setbacks, re-trying and breakthroughs among the support, kindness and inspiration of peers and qualified mentors leads to more flexibility, innovation, courage and self-confidence in not only their art skills, but in all other areas of life! And we have a lot of fun doing it!

We use conversation prompts to create an inspiring atmosphere where artists learn to trust their intuition. We use targeted practice to break down the mechanics of a complex and difficult skill like art into easy, achievable steps, while having fun and building connections and friendships over what we love and struggle with in the art process!

We focus on learning and process—most classes will not end with a “finished” piece. Instead, students will build and practice the tools and techniques needed to continue with the piece between classes!

✨  BECOMING AN ARTIST ✨ 
Students will learn to SEE like an artist, practicing observational skills each week! They’ll learn to trust themselves to experiment, problem-solve and make decisions, persevering through failures and disappointments through to success each time, no matter how long it takes! They’ll learn how shape, line and form can be found even in the most complicated references. We teach young artists how to use all the tools Procreate has to offer to quickly find perspective, fix proportions and experiment with color choices so they can find their voice, learning to put themselves into their art. Our teaching style will have even your most reluctant or perfectionist young artist excited to dive in again and again!

✨  PRACTICE ✨ 
Learners are exposed to a variety of styles and tools each week that build their visual vocabulary: brushes, smudge tools, eraser textures, color palettes, transparencies, adjustment tools, line weight and style, lighting, shadow, shading, perspective, foreshortening, texture and more. Each week is different, and provides a steady practice that builds over time into confidence and trusted intuition!

✨  CULTURE ✨ 
Our classes are anchored in kindness, affirmations and fun! We do not use competitions or comparing. Constructive, hamburger-style critiques are offered by the teacher. There is a variety of skill level in each group, and we validate and help artists feel good about wherever their skill is. Many of our artists love to share their art and bond over what they love and struggle with, but no one is pressured to share. Come be who you are. We teach learners how to find joy and delight in their practice, which motivates them to do it more.

✨ This class is collaborative--We want to know what you love to make art about? What do you want to get better at?

✨ During sharing time, mics are allowed to be kept on. During draw-along, learners are encouraged to ask for feedback and ask questions out loud or in the chat. If a learner has background noise, they will be asked to keep their mic muted when not speaking. We make art from all learner interests, including: figure drawing, animals, chibi, kawaii, video games, movies, book art, landscapes, anime, manga, fashion design, architecture and more!

✨This is an inclusive, safe space where everyone can feel empowered to be themselves and create art that reflects the world they dream about! • Bring your ideas and an open mind! • Classes may run up to ten minutes late depending on sharing, learner questions and discussion.

❤️ Self-Paced Classes: If live classes don’t fit your schedule, you want more time for each project, or you simply want MORE of this class: please consider taking one of our self-paced classes. Self-paced classes are pre-recorded versions of this same class, with step-by-step instruction on making art from references, and you can watch them at your own pace! We plan to continue to build our library of self-paced classes, so send us your topic requests, follow us and check back often!
