About

Hey everyone, do you want to learn how to do digital art with an iPad, Procreate and an Apple pencil (not required but recommended for the best experience)? Well, this is the right place then!

We’re going to be learning all about procreate! It’s an art app for drawing digitally on the App Store (iPad only but you can get a procreate pocket edition on iPhone) and if you don't have it, you can buy it.

We’re gonna start from the beginning altogether so no prior knowledge is required. :)

Some brief topics we'll cover together:
-> How to make a canvas, set up everything
-> Different types of brushes, making your own
-> Starting to sketch out and draw, colouring the base
-> Finishing the image, looking at modes/effects/filters!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Stay creative! ✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

Hey I'm Aeparish! I'm from India and I'm in 9th grade (homeschooled). I'm in schoolhouse to learn more maths and other things like music, english, etc. I absolutely love drawing both digitally (on procreate & krita) and traditionally (on paper)! Another thing is 3D modelling in blender and started learning on schoolhouse itself from Woody W! (Thanks a lot by the way :D) Other things are exploration, and you'll probably see me taking photos of different bugs or collecting sticks and rocks. I also like learning about astronomy and what you could find out there really is phenomenal! I know coding in a bunch of languages (more down below) and do tons of lego (super creative and fun honestly)! I really wanna learn animating (mostly 2d but 3d too) and have started so hope I can animate really well someday! Already have a lot of ideas xD. Extra facts: MBTI: Entp-t (debater). Zodiac sign: Aquarius! Favourite games: Minecraft, crossy road and sneaky sasquatch. Favourite books: The little prince, percy jackson, adelaide: the flying kangaroo, jujutsu kaisen (manga which I LOVE). Favourite movies/shows: Interstellar, Wall-E, 1917, Arcane (really good), The fox and the hound, A quiet place, Foundation (Isaac Asimov), Planet of the Apes and basically any studio ghibli movie like Arrietty or Grave of the fireflies. I also watch anime. Some (which I like) are jujutsu kaisen again, kimi no todoke & bungo stray dogs (uptil season 2). Favourite colors: Blue, Green, Pink, Beige (and at one point purple) :P Favourite songs: Not specific- I listen to various artists and mostly english or jpop ones. Music: I play the violin and sing sometimes. Coding languages I know: Python, C++, Scratch, HTML & CSS and some others but not too much. (I know scratch very well and the rest intermediate, still have more to learn lol) Languages I know: Hindi (somewhat & my mother tongue), English. Learning: French, chinese! I also have a 300+ day streak on duolingo :0 ⟢blender, animating, art, bugs, animals, exploration, photography, duolingo, violin & competitive programming essentially!!
