Description

This is a course all about creating beautiful pastel drawings in Procreate. Modern pastel drawing is noted for its loose, expressive style of work and I teach you how to do this inside Procreate . I've used real life pastels for many years so I can explain how they work, plus I have developed multiple new digital techniques especially for this course!

But I've brought something to you that I've not seen before in Procreate, and I call it a 'complete environment'. What's new is that the brushes are especially designed to work with papers supplied on this course. The brushes match the paper you use perfectly, giving you the perfect pastel effect. I've even supplied hundreds of colors that are sourced from real world pastels. It's like having a complete shop full of the best pastels and papers, right inside your iPad!

I'll take you right from initial brush strokes using the dozens of different brushes you get with the course. Then I take you through two follow along tutorials which give you increasingly advanced techniques. Some of these techniques and resources you won't have seen before. That's because I've used my 35+ years experience as a professional designer/illustrator to create brand new directions using the tools Procreate gives us.

On this course you will:

  • Learn to create natural looking pastel drawings using Procreate

  • Learn effective digital pastel technique

  • Learn new techniques developed especially for this course

  • Learn how to control digital pastels but also how to use themt expressively

  • Get experience with Layer Masks, Clipping Masks & Layer Blend Modes

If you can scribble with an Apple pencil on an iPad, you can do this. But even though I have plenty of tuition for you to work with the end result is determined by the choices you make along the way, so there's plenty of room for you to create beautiful artwork your way.

Sometimes it's not about the countless hours you spend practicing a skill. It's about know-how. Enroll today, and I'll show you how.

See you on the course!
