From a Realistic Sketch to a Stylized Illustration in Procreate by Di Ujdi

About This Class
Reimagining reality is the most interesting part when it comes to illustration, but sometimes when you’re faced with a deadline or a lack of ideas, the best way to begin is to actually start with what you see, and then reshape it, change it, stylize it to fit with the project concept you’re working on.

In this class, I’m going to show you how I use a realistic sketch from a reference photo as a base for making a stylized illustration in Procreate. Without having to rely only on imagination or endless scrolling on Pinterest for ideas, we’re going back to basics, and we’re starting from what we see so that we can convert it to what we actually need for our project.

This class is for intermediate and advanced levels, so before taking it you should already have practical knowledge when it comes to basic concepts of drawing, and you should also be familiar with digital drawing in Procreate.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a finished story illustration and a new illustration technique that will help you out when working on your future projects.

So, if you’re ready, let’s get started!
