  • Dip your toes into drawing digitally by learning to create leaf shapes in Procreate!

    I learned a few of the many differences between how you approach a digital drawing from my usual medium. I like the ability to divide the drawing into layers, so that if you get one layer perfect, but need to work on the others, there is less lost time.
