One of the biggest issues I see beginner artists face is they focus on a little part of the drawing first trying to get it perfect, but then it’s harder to go back and the big picture.

I’m not using any grids, lines or anything of the sort just eyeballing as I go, and trying to put the big shapes down first. I began with a simple sketch starting with lighter strokes and then strengthening them as I feel more confident about the lines I’m putting down.Īs you might’ve noticed I chose a brownish reddish color to start, as I love starting with any color rather than black, I find it helps me keep the drawing phase more lose. Now without further ado, let’s get started. If you want to get started with procreate and need some help, check out my “ Master Procreate App Course”.

Apply flat color, shadows, and light that you learned previously to paint different skin tones and create textures and effects for hair. Next, make a start on the first sketches of your character, giving shape and contour through line art, with the intention of transposing expression with the ideal angle.
