Unlock the secrets to adding captivating texture to your Procreate illustrations! This class dives deep into creating and utilizing textures to elevate your digital artwork.

I transitioned from primarily using Adobe Illustrator to Procreate to achieve a more dynamic and visually interesting aesthetic. I discovered that while Illustrator is great, it lacked the flexibility I needed for nuanced texture creation. Through experimentation with brushes, scanned photos, and paint marks, I developed a workflow that allows me to intuitively apply the perfect texture in Procreate – a skill that has significantly enhanced my illustration and surface pattern design work.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • Texture Creation from Photos & Paint: Transform your own photographs and painted marks into reusable texture overlays for your Procreate illustrations.
  • Brush Mastery: Effectively utilize existing Procreate brushes and explore the world of custom brushes to achieve specific texture effects.
  • Stamp Brush Magic: Learn to create and apply custom stamp brushes for unique and repeatable texture patterns.
  • Texture Overlays: Discover how to seamlessly integrate your created textures into your artwork.

What you'll need:

  • An iPad with Procreate installed.
  • An Apple Pencil.
  • Paper (any kind will do for practice!).
  • Paint brushes (even old ones!).
  • Paint (use whatever you have on hand).

Who is this class for?

This course is designed for digital artists with a working knowledge of Procreate (ideally a year of experience). Whether you're a beginner looking to add depth or an experienced artist seeking to refine your texture techniques, this class will provide valuable insights.

My goal isn't to replicate my style, but to equip you with the tools and knowledge to discover your own unique approach to texture. Developing a strong texture style takes time and practice, but with dedication, you'll learn to incorporate texture into your work in a way that is authentically you. Be prepared to dedicate time to daily practice for best results.

SPECIAL BONUS: As a student, you'll receive my entire texture brush set – 21 brushes – absolutely FREE! These brushes are perfect for personal and commercial use. Enhance your Procreate illustrations today!
