Drawing With Procreate

lesson one: loose nature sketch

Drawing from nature and keeping a nature journal is an enjoyable activity and a great way to learn how to draw. In this lesson we will draw freehand from a nature reference. You are welcome to use mine or find one of your own.

First, you will sketch out the basic shapes you see, then trace them with your favorite ink pen, and finally add loose expressive watercolors. Not only will you practice seeing complex shapes, but you will learn how to work from a reference, select colors, and work with a variety of brushes.

Please Note: In this lesson you will need to place your reference image in the Photo Gallery on your iPad. This is covered in the previous Procreate Basics section, lesson 5.
