learn-procreate-draw-leaves-free-course

Learn step-by-step how to illustrate leaves in Procreate, the top drawing app on the iPad for art projects.

Drawing plants can seem complicated if you don’t know where to start.
But I have you covered in this introduction to drawing leaves, and you will be illustrating them in no time!

Leaves are the foundation for florals

If you want to master illustrating foilage and then move on to more complex floral artwork, starting with leaves is a fantastic beginning and will give you the confidence to build your plant drawing skillset.

A little about Your Instructor

Licensed artist, Illustrator, Pattern designer, & Online Educator

I have been a self-taught illustrator and artist for over 10+ years, and I work with brands to create artwork for their products.

My love for the Procreate app started when I was figuring out how to use my favorite design programs with Procreate, and I was commissioned to work on the Around the World tour for the Apple Arcade game, Patterned. I had only recently started using Procreate, but I made it my main drawing tool for this nine-month custom project.

It is my favorite drawing tool, and I can’t wait to help you fall in love with this app too!
