In this class, I will show you some shading techniques I use in Procreate. I will walk students through my process using simple techniques that include blending with specific brushes to build face structure by using minimal shading of light and shadows.

You will learn: 

• How to use vertical hatching, cross hatching
• How to block in shapes of the face
• Where the key areas on the face are to shade
• Ways to get best shading results using the Apple Pencil

By focusing on the details of your eyes, mouth, nose to capture the likeness of your selfie, you will see how limited shading can add wonders to your portrait.

Whether you just want to try something new or you are just starting out in Procreate this class will show you basic strategies to get started without being overwhelmed by a new program. 

By the end of this class, students will know how to use some brushes in Procreate for their portraits of people and themselves, how to draw faces minimally and how to break down reference images for portraits. This class is geared toward intermediate artists but will also help artists who want to try digital art and learn more about Procreate.
