 About the webinar:

Kick off Summer Springboard for Illustrators 2022 by learning to use Procreate for illustration, from Sketch to Share and a few things in between. We’ll go over layer management, clipping masks, quick shadows, and highlights, plus a few tricks to improve and streamline your work. We’ll also cover how to share final files with your clients, and if we have time we might play with animation, too.
