Stunning Stained Glass in Procreate

via Skillshare

Overview

Get ready to play with light and color while making breathtaking art!

I think stained glass is so beautiful, I love the unique textures, the swirls of color and organic patterns, and the way the light glistens through the glass. Creating physical stained glass art is no easy feat. It requires specialized equipment, and handling sharp pieces of glass, working with scorching hot tools. So I figured out a way to create gorgeous glass art...the digital way! Let's make Stunning Stained Glass in Procreate!

This class is great for color-and-texture-loving artists looking to explore a new medium, or who love the idea of stained glass but don't want to invest in specialized tools, handle sharp pieces of glass, or use hot tools. Learn new skills while making stunning art. You're going to love what you'll create!

In this class, we'll cover:

  • The qualities of stained glass
  • How to simplify a complex subject
  • An easy way to choose colors for your glass pieces
  • Creating realistic soldering effects
  • Add depth and realism with lighting effects
  • Making your glass glisten with glare
  • Learn how to use Procreate's blend modes
  • Use filters and adjustments like blur, noise, and the curves adjustment
  • Plus plenty more helpful Procreate tips along the way!

This class will teach you valuable illustration and design skills, while also teaching you some nifty Procreate features.

Breathe New Life into Past Artwork
In the course, I give you step-by-step instructions on how to give your old art a stunning stained glass glow-up! Everything from selecting a piece to simplifying your subject matter.

Create Original Works of Art
Learn how to create your own designs, starting with a subject and simplifying it for the stained glass medium. It's so fun to make art without getting too caught up in the details.
