The more SketchWalks I continue to attend at the Apple Store, the more I learn about Procreate. If you live near an Apple Store, I highly recommend signing up for a SketchWalk. The SketchWalk program is Free, led by uber-talented creatives at Apple, last 90 minutes, and you don't necessarily need an iPad or Apple Pencil because you can borrow theirs! It's a great opportunity to learn more and immediately apply and practice your new found skills. Just a few things, I've learned recently:
- How to Draw a Straight Line
- Fill shapes
- Edit Brushes
- Change Backgrounds
- Alpha Lock
- Masking
- Automatic Shape
- Build Palettes
- And much, much more.
For May, I'm looking forward to diving deeper into digital art and complete the daily animal challenge using gouache on CreativeBug. I also have realized as I learn these new digital techniques, I quickly forget them when not used. I realize I need to start creating short digital tutorials to help myself remember these new techniques. Not sure if May is the month to do that with the end of the school year but I see this in my future, at some point.
