In this Procreate tutorial, I will guide you through the process of how to paint with Procreate to create a graceful yet strong female character. I’ll show you step by step how I go from a simple idea, to a rough sketch, to the final character design. 

For this digital art tutorial I mainly work with my personal portrait brushes in Procreate (read our guide to the best Procreate brushes for more on how to tailor this iPad app to your needs). If you want to find out more about this app, read our Procreate review
