Digital Illustration with Procreate for Beginners

Join the Batavia Society of Artists for a fun and beginner-friendly evening of digital art with local artist Shauna Blake!
Have you ever wondered what digital artists use to create their artwork? Procreate is a popular digital art and illustration app for the iPad and Apple Pencil. It gives artists a digital canvas where they can sketch, draw, paint, add color, experiment with textures, and create finished illustrations using tools that are similar to traditional art supplies.
During this beginner-friendly demonstration, Shauna will walk you through the basics of Procreate, including:
✨ Getting familiar with the Procreate interface
🖌️ Brushes and drawing tools
🎨 Colors and color palettes
📚 Understanding and using layers
✏️ Basic digital illustration techniques
💡 Tips for getting started with your own digital artwork
No previous experience with Procreate or digital art is necessary! Participants will have the opportunity to follow along and explore this fun and versatile creative medium.
Whether you’re a traditional artist curious about digital art, completely new to illustration, or simply want to try something different, come learn and create with us!
🍪 Refreshments will be available
🍷 Cash bar available
🎨 All are welcome!
