Learn to use the tools of the app and an iPad to bring your illustrations to life
For illustrators, connecting with their audience through their work is essential, especially in the publishing industry. With her illustrations, Vero Navarro tries to add a twist to the mysterious or the unknown. Maybe that's why so many publishers want to work with her; Penguin Random House, Grijalbo, Alfaguara, Montena, RBA, Triskel, and Green Bean Books are just some of the ones she has collaborated with.
In this course, Vero teaches you the keys to digital illustration with Procreate. Learn the creative process, from the initial idea to the deliverable file, and discover how to use the app's tools, by experimenting and, above all, having fun while you work on creating a complete creative illustration. To top it off, learn how to bring it to life with Procreate's animation assistant.

Who is this online course for?
For drawers, illustrators, designers, and anyone interested in immersing themselves in the world of digital illustration with Procreate in a practical and fun way.
Requirements and materials
No previous Procreate is needed, as you will learn how to use the app from scratch. But it is recommended to have basic drawing knowledge. Having used other digital drawing programs before can also be helpful, although it is not essential.
You will need a Procreate-compatible iPad and, ideally, an Apple Pencil.

A course by Vero Navarro
Vero Navarro is an interdisciplinary illustrator from La Mancha, Spain who now lives in Valencia. In her early days, she illustrated manually until she tried Procreate and made an almost immediate jump towards digital formats. She started experimenting with other styles, from comics to Sumi-e watercolor to hyperrealism.
She has been working as a freelancer for more than ten years, making book covers for Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Albert Espinosa, and Aránzazu Serrano. Also, she has done projects for Formula 1 teams, independent film festivals, and private commissions.
In addition, she has collaborated with publishing houses such as Penguin Random House, Grijalbo, Alfaguara, Montena, RBA, Triskel, Green Bean Books, and more.
