This class will be available to view on March 12, 2025.
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. Learn how to:

• Construct the head by establishing focal points and identifying shapes
• Explore value, color, texture and shading techniques
• Achieve accurate proportions/likeness
• Use digital art tools while following traditional painting theory
