Description

Somes I just want a fun and easy class, and that is exactly what this is! The skills are easy to pick up and the results are very dramatic while also being soft and pretty, if that makes sense. The whole class is in Procreate and I walk you through the entire process, starting with a sketch and finishing up with a lovely composition that has plenty of dimension. I have kept the subject matter simple so you can concentrate on the concepts.The main skills you will pick up or reinforce are the use of selections and methods to make creating selections as easy as possible. We will also use clipping masks in the class to help us keep everything neat and tidy!In this class I’ll walk you through:· my step-by-step method for planning and executing an illustration· tips for creating compositions for a varied and appealing layout· my workflow for use of layers and other great features like clipping masks and quick selections· adding dimension using airbrushing techniques· adding details like a sun and birds· methods for keeping the art fully editable for either adjustments or recoloringIf you’re an aspiring illustrator with a basic knowledge of Procreate, you’ll be able to go through all the steps with no issues. This class will benefit anyone who wishes to reinforce selection methods, use of clipping masks and more, and methods to improve efficiency.The key concepts I will include:· making selections from drawn elements· working with clipping masks to add details to drawn elements· approaches you can take in your creative workThis is an ideal class for you, even if you are not sure what you will use the art for. I show you the use of the art on mock-ups, at the end, so you can get inspired. I guarantee you will create something super attractive, and it’s so much fun, you will use these techniques again!Intro to Airbrushed Shading in Procreate using Selections and Clipping MasksThis short intro will give you an overview of the class.Lesson 1: Overview and Document Set UpIn this lesson, I will give an overview of the document set-up, breaking down each of the components for you to see. Next, we will be creating the color palette by using a photo we source on-line.Lesson 2: Draw Leaves and Start CompositionIn this lesson, I will break down the complete process of producing a quick sketch of leaves and then inking them individually. You will watch as I create a composition with these leaves. Once the leaves are arranged, we will also draw in the land masses.Lesson 3: Adding Dimension to Leaves Using SelectionsIn this lesson, I will explain a couple of different methods for adding the shading that will give us all the dimension. The first method is to make a freehand selection. The second method is to draw shapes to use for automatic selections. The merits of the second method are explained along the way. Both methods use clipping masks and that will be explained thoroughly.Lesson 4: Background and Other DetailsThis is the lesson in which I teach you about working on the background elements. We use selections again and make three different land masses that recede into the distance. Then we take a look at blending these and finally we will add some shading behind the leaves to make them really stand out.Lesson 5: Stems and Other DetailsIn this lesson, we start getting to the final stage of the artwork. I will be finalizing all the leaves with stems and such, and we will add a sun or moon and a few birds.Lesson 6: Conclusion, Mockup and Next StepsWe will conclude everything in this lesson. I show you a couple of quick mock-ups with the pattern and we end with a chat about next steps.Concepts covered:Concepts covered include but are not limited to Procreate layering, transparency, Procreate airbrushing techniques, Procreate canvas settings, watercolor brush settings, Procreate snapping and guides, sizing of documents and brushes, compositions with brush stamps, adding dimension with air brushes, procreate air brushes for adding other interesting details, workflow best practices, painting best practice, Procreate clipping masks, techniques with selections, and much more.You will get the bonus of…· 50 minutes of direction from an instructor who has been in graphic design business and education for over 40 years· knowledge of multiple ways to solve each design challenge· an outline with links to further research· a list of helpful online sites to further your education into surface pattern designProject DescriptionEnjoy the simple process of drawing the leaves as I have suggested, or use other shapes that will work well for this project. Choose a lovely color scheme and create the color palette like I suggest. Limiting your palette will keep your work cohesive. Once complete, try using it on a mock-up and post it here to share with your fellow classmates.
