Creating 3D Art Effects on iPad Pro - Procreate Painting Series 3

The iPad has changed the way we create art.  It offers both the experience of drawing and painting, anywhere, anytime, with all the brushes and pens we could imagine as well as a wide array of tools to create fun digital art effects. 

So how do we go about taking our art to the next level and creating some fun 3D art effects?

In this class I will show you how I use the tools in the Procreate App to create the illusion of light and shadows and give your artwork depth and dimension.  Then we will explore how textures and blend modes can work together for photo realistic looks. 

There is something for everyone in this class:

1. Starting simple, we explore the concept of how light and shadows play on a shape, and then use a simple circle to create our first 3D object. 
2. Building on these techniques, we use them to create more complex designs with each lesson.
3. Finishing off,  we explore some advanced ideas and examples to inspire you to continue exploring these ideas on your own. 

Along the way I will share lots of tips and tricks that I use in Procreate, as well as examples of finished pieces to inspire you in your art process.
