My family surprised me with an early birthday present and gave me my first iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I am over the moon to figure out digital painting, as I’ve been purely traditional up until now. I watched Will Terry’s class on ‘Painting with iPad Pro with Procreate’ and did a quick sketch of his robot drawing. There’s so much more I can do with this drawing, but I’m eager to start working on my dummy book so this is as far as I’ve taken it for now. Just wanted to share my FIRST ever digital drawing. Can’t wait to learn more.

That being said does anyone have some recommendations for where to learn more about Procreate?

Hello Fellow SVS'ers,
This is my first time posting any of my own artwork and it is just a preliminary sketch, but welcome some feedback.
It is for my Picture Book The Merry-Go-Round Tree.

Mr. Mole keeper of tunnels and secrets. Critiques welcome.

Congratulations!

Constructive criticism welcome.

Full disclaimer we are on the road and I have limited supplies so I borrowed my kids crayons color pencils. !

@Heather-Boyd Yes in my second sketch I drew today I tied the rope around the branch and putting more motion in the tire swing makes perfect sense. Thank you!

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback and great resources for learning more about Procreate. I look forward to exploring all of your recommendations.

Great stuff! I love seeing everyone's work.

Thank you Tessa. I was afraid the monkey’s action was ambiguous.

@gavpartridge and @PieterVanDerBeek Thank you for the tips. I will definitely work on the values more. But as for the arms, moles don’t really have much of an arm. It’s like their hands pop out of their sides, but I can definitely spend more time rendering his hands. Thanks again.

@TessaW Thank you Tessa. Great tips and ideas. I will definitely take them into consideration in my next rendering. Thank you.

@chrisaakins Hi Chris. Yes, it is just a sketch. I’m just looking for feedback on ways to improve. Things that might need work that I don’t see.
