Description
How to Add Shadow and Light in Procreate a class all about learning about Adjustment Layers.
This class is perfect for you if you are new to Procreate and haven't quite figured out what adjustment layers are and how to use them in your digital art. But it's also a great class for even seasoned Procreate users as you might learn a new way of using adjustment layers that you haven't tried before. I personally use adjustment layers in a very simple and straight forward way.
Since getting the iPad Pro and Procreate in 2017 I have been having so much fun learning more and more about the program and digital art making and really nerding out in the different features and I am so excited to teach you everything I know.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?:
All illustrators, artists or surface designers of any level who would like to learn more about working with digital adjustment layers, and discovering new techniques in Procreate for adding shadow and light.
Supplies you will need to create the class project:
- Preferably Procreate with the iPad and apple pencil (to follow along exactly as I do.) Otherwise any other drawing tablet and similar drawing program such as Photoshop.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
In this class I will be sharing my process for creating a textured illustration with loads of shadow and light in Procreate.
We will cover the following:
- What are adjustment layers.
- How to use adjustment layers in your artwork in 2 ways.
- How to use Multiply. Plus a fun trick!
- How to use Soft Light.
- How to use Add.
- How I personally build up an illustration with adjustment layers in 2 ways.
The prerequisite class I recommend you take before this one:
I mention my Digital 101: Get to Know Your Procreate Brushes class several times in this class and highly recommend that you check it out first if you haven't already to really get to know your Procreate brushes and how to incorporate texture in your illustrations.
I am so excited to share my tips with you and to see what you all come up with in your class projects!

p.s. Here is a shot of me and hunky boyfriend Johan and our fun loving son Stark with the gorgeous backdrop of Mariefred where we call home. Also a picture of me and my beautiful daughter Tilly in my inspiring home studio.
My creative classes cover a range of subjects from illustration techniques, color theory, or pattern making. Plus i cover how to use applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and on the iPad Pro in apps such as Procreate.
Here are a few kind words from my students.
