  • PLEASE NOTE: This class is not a beginner class, it is intended for students with at least some knowledge and experience with Procreate. We will not be going over the basics of Procreate in this class. If you are brand new to Procreate, I recommend taking any one of the amazing Procreate for Beginners classes out here on Skillshare!.

I will be using some of these in the class so, if you would like to follow along, please feel free to save the files to your own system.
