Digital Illustration with Procreate
Workshop | Available
All ages welcome, but recommended 12+
Unlock the creative power of your iPad and Apple Pencil. Dive into digital illustration using Procreate. Designed for artists of all levels, this workshop introduces the essential tools of the program, including file setup, layers, brushes, workflow organization, and animation features.
Participants will explore lighting, shading, and industry-standard digital illustration techniques used for both professional and personal projects. The instructor will guide the class step-by-step through the process of building a finished piece, using his entirely digitally rendered work currently on display in Drawn Here at the Connecticut Museum of History and Culture as a case study, from initial concept and thumbnails through refined line work, color, and final polish. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your portfolio or expand your creative toolkit, this class offers practical skills grounded in real-world application.
REQUIREMENT: Participants must provide their own iPad (any model compatible with Apple Pencil), an accompanying Apple Pencil, and the Procreate app, available for $12.99 at https://procreate.com/procreate.
