Description

Have a story in your head that’s waiting to be drawn? 

In this fun, hands-on Procreate class, students will dream up, write, and illustrate their very own short book on the iPad. From brainstorming cool ideas and sketching rough scenes to adding color, texture, and personality, we will be exploring how stories come to life through pictures and words.

Each class will be a mix of writing, doodling, designing page layouts, and creating polished illustrations in Procreate. Along the way, students will learn how to prep their finished pages for sharing, printing, or self-publishing.

Each artist will work at their own pace, with the support of their instructor. Depending on individual stylistic choices and attention to detail, some students may complete an entire illustrated story, while others will build a compelling foundation to continue beyond the class.

No matter the pace you work at, this class will be inspiring, imaginative, and help you to build some creative momentum!

This class is appropriate for digital art beginners, and for those who may have more experience.

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
