Nikko takes you on an inspiring, creative journey with the iPad as your sketchbook. He guides you step-by-step, revealing how to get the most out of this powerful new art tool.
Note: This course is structured for students with an intermediate knowledge of Procreate. An understanding of the interface and tools is recommended.
Starting with a high-res blank canvas, Nikko creates a wide range of characters, all in thumbnail size. This is an extremely useful skill to master when presenting concept work that needs life and scale. Saving time by avoiding unnecessary detail, you can focus on what is important in the image, and get artwork ready for initial approval by clients or yourself extremely quickly. Nikko completes the course by developing and refining 2 of the characters in this course to a finished concept-quality stage.
He also reveals tips and tricks that you can use to get more out of your artwork.
Highlights from the course include:

  • Multiple character examples
  • Tool tips and techniques you can use immediately in your own artwork
  • 5 exclusive downloadable brushes created by Nikko and used in this course
