Procreate Mandalas: Draw, Paint, and Shade a Mandala on your iPad

via Skillshare

Overview

In this class we’ll be drawing mandalas in Procreate on the iPad. 

Mandalas are so relaxing to draw, and with Procreate, you can make mandalas quite fast and pretty easily. 

This is what we’ll cover in class:

First we’ll practice drawing some petal shapes, line embellishments, and petal embellishments. 

This class includes a PDF with lots of different shapes and embellishments for us to practice together, and it also includes four guides that we will be using in Procreate throughout the lessons.

I’ll show you my workflow for creating a perfectly symmetrical 8-point mandala, and I’ll also show you how to incorporate perfect circles in your mandalas.

Then we’ll add color to our mandalas in several ways:

We’ll change the background color and the line color,

We’ll change the inner background,

and we will color inside the lines.

Then we’ll add depth and dimension to our mandalas by adding shading.

I’ll show you how to easily switch to a different colorway, and how to find color palettes and tweak the colors to your liking.

I’ll guide you through a simpler and smaller mandala, and then we’ll draw a detailed and intricate mandala as well.

This class is packed with time-saving tips, tricks, techniques and workflows to make drawing mandalas easy, smooth, and surprisingly fast, so that you can relax and flow and enjoy the process. 

Not only will you create unique and colorful mandalas in this class, but you can also apply what you’ll learn to other Procreate drawing styles as well.

This is a step-by-step class, so it’s suitable for beginners, and for anyone who’s interested in drawing mandalas using Procreate. Even if you’ve never used procreate before, you will be able to follow along, and I am always here to help if you need me.

All you need is an iPad, the Procreate app, and a compatible stylus like the Apple Pencil.

I hope you’ll join me, and I already can’t wait to see your creations!
