"Digital Drawing Using Procreate®" with guest instructor and fine artist Andrew Nixon.
Sketch on an iPad and learn how to turn your observational drawings into sophisticated digital renderings through the powerful and versatile software program Procreate®. Drawing with a stylus, students will engage in a series of class exercises. Gradually, they will build forms of greater complexity. Students will learn techniques permitting them to work in multiple layers simultaneously, and to work backward as well as forward. They will manipulate color and design personalized brushes for every need. No experience with Procreate is required, though students must have completed Session I, or possess basic observational drawing skills.
