Illustrate a Monochromatic Character in Procreate

Drawing characters is a fun and easy way of expression. Unlike the standard forms of coloring characters, monochrome themes implement the use of one main color in different tones.

This class is designed to help you break away from traditional colors used for character illustration to broaden your creativity and imagination. In this class, your project will be to choose a color, also known as hue, of your choice and utilize different tones, shades, and tints of that color to create a character.  You will also include an item of contrasting color into your character to add some flair to your monochromatic piece.

After this class, you will have an understanding of how to use a combination of color, value, and tone to unify a monochromatic character.
