We'll start with a simple fruit illustration, demonstrating how to use texture to sculpt shapes with light and shadow. Then, we'll explore using multicolored textures to bring out vibrant warm and cool tones. You'll learn how colored textures can transform flat illustrations into dynamic pieces with captivating highlights, shadows, and variation.

The course culminates in a project where you'll combine all the learned texture processes to create a detailed, multi-layered illustration. You'll see firsthand how easily simple shapes can be elevated into rich, contrasting illustrations with just a few strokes of a texture brush.

All you need is your iPad and a stylus! While I'll be using the Apple Pencil, any stylus or even your finger will work.
