Description

The "Procreate Essentials: the Black and White Pencil Technique" class is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in art and illustration to learn how to create stunning pieces using only black and white pencils. In this course, we will delve into the potential of these two basic but incredibly effective tools, which, when applied effectively, can produce magnificent works of art.


The class's focus will be on the black-capped chickadee, a small but striking songbird found throughout Canada and North America. But before we start painting, we will take a closer look at how the Great Masters used black and white colours to make studies for their masterpieces. Through this exploration, we can understand the versatility of these basic tools and how they can be used to create complex and intricate art.


In addition to exploring the masters' techniques, we will cover some preparatory exercises to familiarize ourselves with pencil techniques, including generating shades, producing gradients, and using cross-hatching effects. These exercises will help us develop our skills and provide us with the foundation needed to create stunning art pieces.


Using the black and white pencil will follow a specific workflow that starts from the undercoat and gradually increases the level of detail until we achieve a naturalistic illustration typical of this kind. This workflow ensures that every stroke we make counts and that we are building up the layers of our artwork in a logical and efficient manner.


By the end of this class, you will have learned how to use the black and white pencils to create beautiful and intricate illustrations. You will be able to apply this technique to other subjects, as well, opening up new possibilities for your art.

Another great course from Maurizio. I have done several courses by this talented artist and illustrator and have never been disappointed by any of them. Well thought out course with easy to follow instructions. All video lessons are in real time as I really hate when teachers put the demonstrations in time-lapse. Great tips and tricks for achieving professional finished art work. Thank you Maurizio and I cannot wait for your next course to dive right into.
