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 14- in 9th grade with the power of home/online schooling. I’m here to expand on my interests and try learning new topics! ‎ Updated: 06/09/2025 (👉゚ヮ゚)👉 Check out the sessions I'm hosting! ‎ I’m extremely interested in astronomy- be it with physics or biology. Some topics I love and am getting into are exoplanets, black holes, quantum physics and more. I can’t say I’m super well versed with them but I’m always up for a nice discussion on it or simply researching! I’ve been into it since I was a little 6-year-old, drifting from indecisiveness but ending back here. I've even participated in the NASA Hackathon 4 (+more to come) years in a row so I have experience including multiple courses and events. For my future, I know I’ll be doing something involved with these. I also have taken an interest in finance and history—from bitcoin and investments to unknown chapters in our past. ‎ I love drawing both digitally (on procreate) and on paper, including animation whenever I feel like it. Using blender to 3D model is something I’ve been loving recently, even building Legos from time to time (mostly original builds which I cherish). I'm writing a research paper related to rigging and UV maps, nearing completion so I can then publish. ‎ Outside, you'll probably see me taking photos of different bugs or collecting sticks and rocks. I also collect shedding and exoskeletons of bugs or snakes so... Be prepared for extensive talking on this in some of my sessions! I guess I’m the ‘explorer’ type. ‎ Lastly, I code in a bunch of languages (Scratch, Gdevelop, C++, Python, HTML & CSS) and use game development for projects involving hackathons or competitions for example getting into semi-finalists globally @ Technovation 2025. I also speak a bunch including English, Hindi (not writing or reading), and French. ‎ Feel free to message me for any doubts on these topics/subjects. Even programs I've mentioned! I'm happy to help guide you. ‎ Being a dialogue club president here at schoolhouse means I've also attended over 35! I actively host one-off’s so if you’d like to see more, feel free to follow me. Discussing topics about the future, history, and philosophy is interesting and I highly recommend you try it.
