In this Procreate tutorial I’m going to give you an overview of my creative process, from coming up with an initial idea, all the tools I use in Procreate, and how they can help speed up the illustration process. I want to show you how I’m able to create artwork that could be used in a children’s book, for example. 

ImagineFX has kindly given me the freedom to choose the subject for this workshop. The first thing that I do is close my eyes, and let myself go to where I want to be and what I want to do.
