📝 Description

Óscar Lloréns has spent nearly two decades illustrating for big names like El País Semanal, Vanity Fair, and Skoda. He’s the kind of artist who treats personal projects as seriously as client work—that’s how he ended up making Procreate his go-to tool for fast, professional results.

This course is built around that same practical mindset. You’ll start by getting comfortable with the app’s interface, gestures, and brush library. Then you’ll move straight into painting: sketching a character, applying color, blocking in shadows, and adding those small details that make an illustration pop. The final module covers finishing touches and exporting a high-res file ready to send to a client.

What sets this apart is the focus on real workflow. You’re not just learning buttons—you’re learning how an actual pro uses Procreate to deliver work under deadline. The 2020 update also covers new Procreate 5 features like Clone, Color, and animation tools, so you’re getting current techniques.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Illustrators and designers wanting to go digital with Procreate
• Anyone curious about creating professional art on an iPad
• Beginners with no prior Procreate experience
