The key parts of each projects are demo-ed across Procreate, Photoshop, AND Illustrator as part of one integrated workflow. You'll see me create the same illustration elements in different programs so you understand the strengths of each tool.

More importantly, you'll learn when to use which tool. It's not about mastering every feature. It's about understanding which program solves your specific creative problem most efficiently.

You'll learn specific techniques for preserving texture, maintaining organic line quality, and keeping that hand-drawn energy alive when you digitize your work.

Your traditional work already has soul. We're just learning to translate it, not replace it. You'll discover how to keep natural imperfections that make work feel authentic instead of over-polishing everything.

The "Bridging the Gap" section works through over a dozen real scenarios: scanning watercolor, separating elements from paintings, cleaning up ink drawings, making traditional textures work with digital compositions.

I show you the messy middle, the problem-solving, and the decision-making. Not just the finished result.

If you want to make most out of the digital aspects fo the course, have at least ONE of these:

• Procreate (one-time purchase, around $13 on iPad)
• Photoshop (Adobe subscription)
• Illustrator (Adobe subscription)

I demonstrate workflows in all three, but you can follow along with just one. The principles translate.

Traditional supplies: Whatever you already have. Basic watercolors, colored pencils, ink, or gouache work perfectly.

Absolutely. This course helps you build an art-based career, one lesson at a time. No weekly schedule. Lifetime access. Your own speed.

Most courses teach you ONE tool in depth. This teaches you how to choose and combine tools based on what your project needs.

Instead of "here's everything Procreate can do," you learn "here's when Procreate is best, when Photoshop makes more sense, when to stay traditional."

It's not sequential. Jump to the section that solves your current problem.

No. The course assumes basic familiarity with at least one creative tool (even just pen and paper), but you don't need formal training.

The Visual Library section builds foundational skills in mark-making, color exploration, and material behavior. If you can make marks on a surface and want to improve, you're ready.

Yes. The three projects are designed as portfolio pieces:

• Client-style commercial campaign (farmer's market)
• Product packaging design (gelato containers)
• Personal passion project showing your unique voice

Each follows professional workflows. You'll have at least three strong portfolio pieces by completion.

No. Either a scanner or phone works.

Scanner: I'll show you how to scan for best results. Phone: I'll show you proper photo technique (lighting, angle, editing).

Many students work exclusively with phone photos and get professional results.

11h+ high-quality video instructions in bite sized lessons.

No. The course is split into bite-sized lessons. And the modules are not sequential. Start where your energy is highest and skip around as needed. Short lessons make it easy to pick up and put down.

You will have lifetime access to the content you purchased.
