Ever wonder how to create charming, whimsical illustrations? I've been asked this question a lot, and I'm thrilled to share my step-by-step process in this class! You might be surprised at how accessible it is.

In this course, you'll discover:

  • Idea Brainstorming Worksheet: Learn the simple worksheet I use to spark creative concepts for your illustrations.
  • Inspiration from Photos: I'll show you how to find visual inspiration from photos that directly relate to your brainstorming ideas.
  • Sketching Techniques: Master the process of creating a compelling sketch, guided by your worksheet and mood board.
  • Rough Color Application: See how to effectively rough in colors to bring your illustration to life.
  • Complete Illustration Walkthrough: I'll guide you through the entire creation of a whimsical scene, from start to finish!

I'll be using Procreate for this demonstration, but the techniques are adaptable to any illustration medium. Note: This isn't a "how-to" Procreate class; familiarity with the app is assumed. If you're new to Procreate, check out my Beginner Procreate Class!
