Description
Creativity is not enough to show your customers how remarkable your designs are. Knowledge and rendering skills are also important to demonstrate your ideas in a more vivid way. I designed these training courses for people with or without related background to learn and sharpen their skills for jewelry design and rendering.
Jewelry Design with Procreate is the first series of courses that I am offering. Procreate has significantly affected the way people draw and sketch. It is an incredible tool and I’ll show you how to use its powerful functionalities to easily create and design your own jewelry.
Here is what we will be learning in this course:
We will introduce tools in Procreate
We will be learning shortcuts and options associated with tools
After going through tools, we will start with practical practice to get familiar with how to use them
Since we are drawing digitally, I will introduce how to get faceted gemstone outlines done in a more efficient way
And how to export your own template for future use
We will also explain the theory of how light affect gemstones before drawing
Create you own brush category for this course
Demonstrate a few ways to pick colors for gemstones and build your color palettes
Learn how to draw beautiful brilliant cut diamonds and colored gemstones
In final project, we will put everything we learn in previous classes to finish a colored gemstone ring
The skills learned in this course can be flexibly converted and applied to drawing boards, desktop computers, tablets, or different drawing software like Photoshop, Painter etc...
Who this course is for:
- People who are interested in jewelry design or jewelry rendering.
- People who wants to do jewelry design with a more efficient and easier way.

全球珠寶市場是相互連通,互有流動性的。許多國際知名的珠寶品牌也多有意願和個別接案設計師合作。因此我時常鼓勵學生,除了深耕台灣市場,只要厚植自己的實力,全世界都可以是舞台。
有鑒於市場上相關教育資源素質不齊,有些偏重在設計概念上,有些只教授畫畫技巧,AK珠寶教室希望可以建立一套設計力與繪製力並重,且值得信任的教學系統。
傳統的亞洲教學方式習慣流於教條化、原則化,一條條的準則念下來難免將簡單的觀念變得冗長複雜。相反的,我相信珠寶設計應該是有趣、心之所至,意之使然的。我的教學方式承襲了我在紐約求學與執業的經驗,注重基礎技巧與設計思考的平衡發展,希望可以提供給有意願學習的人多一個不同的選項。
