Procreate is a versatile tool for digital painting that offers a range of benefits. Its diverse selection of brushes and tools allows for experimentation with endless colors, textures, and styles, while offering the freedom to instantly correct any mistakes. David Tenorio, a skilled illustrator and art instructor, shows you how this program can be used to enhance creativity and produce remarkable results. Designed to guide you through the stages of a painting, from initial sketch to the rendering and refining, he leads you through the traditional principles of art and design, such as "mother color" and "thick to thin" techniques. By synthesizing all of these elements, students learn how to create a digitally painted portrait that achieves accurate proportions and likeness.

Overall great. Still learning procreate, it was fast paced for me even with pausing. Will try again. I would have liked more exact brush selection for learning. And when adding a new method showing it on the screen a little slower would be helpful.

This was an incredibly helpful class! I have never done a digital portrait and always hated my digital art but this helped me so much and I really surprised myself with this one! I’m definitely going to check out more of his classes!
