Learn to create digital paintings filled with magic and emotion by exploring illustration techniques
Digital artwork, just like traditional paintings and photographs, has the ability to make viewers lose themselves in an image and forget the world around them. Illustrator Ramona Wultschner is inspired by creating images influenced by nature and how the glow and dancing patterns of light can make you feel. She has illustrated numerous children’s books, and has written and illustrated one of her own. She also sells her artwork online and is a visualization trainer at the Bikablo Academy in Cologne.
In this course, Ramona teaches you how to take something that inspires you and translate the feeling it evokes into a digital painting. Explore the possibilities and tools of Procreate, and discover the power of color, light, and composition. Create an atmospheric scene that allows viewers to step into a different world.

Reviews
A course by Ramona Wultschner
Ramona Wultschner is a German Illustrator whose love of drawing started in early childhood. However, she didn’t know that a profession as an illustrator was possible, and went on to study graphic design at university as a way to pursue creative work. She worked in an advertising agency after graduating but realized that her passion lay elsewhere and applied for an internship at an animation studio. This is where she was able to fulfill her passion, becoming a permanent employee at the studio for several years. It was there that a colleague introduced Ramona to children’s book illustration.
Since then, Ramona has worked as a freelance illustrator for animated film productions, children’s books, and games. She has illustrated numerous children’s books that have been translated into many languages and sells her artwork online. Alongside her freelance career Ramona teaches visualization at the Bikablo Academy, Cologne, where she shares her expertise to inspire and teach those with a passion for drawing. In 2016 she also wrote and illustrated a book published by Lappan Verlag which is an ironic and humorous guide to cheating your way through life to become the ultimate egoist.

All the steps in this course are well explained and easy step by step to follow.
The exercises are for beginners and you can also learn from them when you're more advanced. She uses selected photo references in her projects.
I like the way she shapes her forms in Procreate from vage to more detailed. She builds the shape up and shows how you can change the shape for example by drawing the form and removing parts of the form. You learn how to compose an illustration.
