WIn this ongoing course, students will use Procreate’s powerful suite of tools to draft line art and complete digital paintings of dragons inspired by the Wings of Fire book series.

Class Experience

What's even better than drawing a dragon? Doing it in Procreate! In this ongoing weekly course, we will teach our students how to use the Procreate app to create sketches, defined line work, and digital paintings based around the world of Wings of Fire.

There's a lot to learn about Procreate, and each week we'll aim to incorporate a different tool or technique while creating our dragon art, so students will ultimately become familiar with a wide range of different paths for turning the ideas...

Students will learn to use a wide range of tools and techniques in the Procreate app, including how best to implement use of brushes, layers, masks, filters, textures, and many more.

We will also learn how to draw dragons from different angles and perspectives, paying special attention to shifts in size and foreshortening, which are skills that can be applied to future art pieces of any subject. 

Lastly, we will show students how to use color and lighting to bring their drawings to life, turning a cool sketch into a vibrant scene they can be really proud of.

I have a bachelor's degree in animation, and have been a professional artist for over 15 years. I have also been teaching students to draw dragons since 2020.

I am passionate about sharing my love for fantasy art and empowering students with the foundational tools they need to make their imaginations come alive on paper. I teach art to kids from ages 3 to 18+ years old.

For the younger kids, Harry...
