Learning to draw on my iPad!

This is my first finished portrait using Procreate on my iPad. I have been trying to learn to use Procreate to draw with for nearly two years with mixed results. I followed so many tutorials and books but never seemed to get anything of my own completed. Recently, something just clicked, and I get it now. I found this photo on Pinterest and drew this. I know it's not perfect, still it's still my best so far. I am proud of it, and I'm excited to create more. Let me know what you think! #ipadartist #ipaddrawing #ipadproart #procreatedrawing #procreateillustration

... Read moreLearning to draw on your iPad can be a rewarding journey, especially with apps like Procreate that offer extensive tools for artists. Many beginners struggle with mastering the intricacies of digital painting, but tutorials and practice can significantly bridge the gap. Procreate offers a range of features including brushes, layers, and blending modes, which can mimic traditional art techniques. With the right reference photo—just like the one I found on Pinterest—you can create stunning portraits. It's essential to start simple and progressively challenge yourself. Besides tutorials, engaging with communities, such as #ipadartist and #procreatedrawing, can foster inspiration and feedback on your artwork. Don’t forget to explore different drawing styles and techniques that professionals use, and study their process, which can often spark new ideas for your own creations. Remember, perfection isn’t the goal; growth and enjoyment in creating should be the primary focus. Let your creativity flow and enjoy each sketch you make!
