Procreate Illustration: Draw a Contemporary Botanical Still Life

via Skillshare

Overview

Learn how to draw a contemporary botanical illustration in Procreate on the iPad Pro from start to finish with illustrator Kristina Hultkrantz. In this class I, Kristina, am taking you through my entire process from start to finish of how I draw an illustration in Procreate. I'll take you along as I sketch out my composition, then build up my illustration with blocks of color as well as use clipping masks and different layers to bring my illustrations to life with more color and detail. Along the way I will also show you how to draw dahlias, my personal favorite flower and we will even cover how to go back and change colors to make your illustration the best that it can be too.

This class is rather slow paced and chill. I wanted to show as much of my process in real time as I could without boring you. I really hope you enjoy the class and love getting a closer glimpse into my process.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?:

This class is geared towards students who already have some knowledge of Procreate (THIS CLASS DOES NOT COVER BASIC PROCREATE HOW TO. There are many great classes here on Skillshare that you can take to learn the app.) and would like to get a better glimpse into my process and learn new things to bring to their own work. I really hope that you'll find the class interesting and will take away a few of the ways that I do things into your own illustration process.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Supplies you will need to create the class project:

  • iPad Pro with Apple pencil or other drawing tablet and stylus
  • Procreate app

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

In this class I will be sharing my thought process and techniques for illustrating a contemporary botanical still life.

We will cover the following:

  • My favorite size and format to work in.
  • How I go about sketching out my composition.
  • Favorite brushes.
  • How to easily draw dahlias.
  • How to build up your illustration with color block.
  • How to use layers to add more and more details.
  • How to use clipping masks.
  • How to adjust colors as you work and afterwards.

I am so excited to share my tips with you and to see what you all come up with in your class projects!

xoxo Kristina
