Welcome to Develop Your Digital Art Style: Draw One Illustration Six Ways
Hi! I’m Stephanie Fizer Coleman, a children’s book illustrator and licensing artist.
I use Photoshop and Procreate in my illustration work every single day and although I have a recognizable style now when I started working digitally nearly a decade ago, I was floundering.
Digital illustration has its own nuances anyway and all those years ago I didn’t even really know what was possible when working digitally.
So if you’re new to digital art or if you’re still searching for your style, just know that I’ve been there too and that I’m here to help you puzzle out your digital art style.
In this class, we’ll take one sketch and illustrate in six different ways.
By doing this, you’ll see a variety of approaches to illustrating the same subject matter and by trying those techniques, you’ll be taking the first steps towards developing your own digital art style.
I’ll be demonstrating some techniques in Procreate and some in Photoshop, but rest assured you don’t need both apps to follow along. The techniques I teach are interchangeable between the two and this class focuses more generally on finding the tools that are best suited for your style.
A note about tech: To get the lovely line variation and painterly strokes, you will need a tablet and stylus of some sort. If you're using Procreate, then you're probably already using your iPad and Apple Pencil. If you're following along in Photoshop, something like a small Wacom tablet will be perfect. I'm drawing on a Cintiq for the Photoshop demos and on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil for the Procreate demos.
So if you’re ready start developing your digital art style, head on over to the next video and let’s get started!

Hi! I'm Stephanie Fizer Coleman, a picture book illustrator and licensing artist known for creating wildlife illustrations full of layered color and texture.
One thing I'm passionate about, whether I'm illustrating a children's book or designing a series of greeting cards, is creating digital work so full of lovely detail and texture that it's tough to tell whether it's a digital painting or a "real" painting.
I work in Photoshop and Procreate and have developed a style of working that blends both digital and traditional elements. I enjoy playing around with pattern, texture and brilliant colors in my work. Animals are my favorite subjects to illustrate and I'm thrilled to be illustrating the kinds of books I would have loved when I was a little library-goer.
My client list includes Caterpillar Books, Hallmark, American Greetings, Clarion Books, HarperCollins, Charlesbridge, Peachtree, Highlights, Mudpuppy, Sellers Publishing, Millbrook Press, Design House Greetings, and Walker Books.
In my classes, I'll be sharing my techniques for achieving this, both in Photoshop and Procreate, and I'll be teaching some of my favorite tips and techniques along the way.
I can't wait to help you along in your quest to become a better digital illustrator!
