Drawing & Digital Illustration Creating Cute Animal Characters For Beginners In Procreate

About This Class
The project for this class is to draw and digitally illustrate a cute animal.

Description
We all know cute things when we see them, right? But what makes things cute? In this class you are going to learn how to draw and digitally illustrate animals and how to make them the cutest and most adorable little characters.

In this class we are going to choose an animal, draw it with simple stylisation and apply the cuteness factor to it. After we are done with the most adorable clean sketch of our character, I will teach you my illustration process with the "undershading" method, adding easy textures, creating the cutest giant eyes with light and reflection and we are going to also solve the mystery of dropshadows.
You will do all this with the help of The Artmother's Ultimate Brush Set (find in the resources) and a beginner friendly step-by-step video guidance.
You will NOT need any complex drawing skills, just an iPad with Procreate and its basic working knowledge. If you don't have an iPad with Procreate, don't worry! The class can be followed along with any software but you will need to adjust the steps for yourself!
By the end of the class you will be ready to amaze the world with you cute animal characters...so are you ready to jump right into it?
See you inside the class!
