Finished the course! Now comes the hard part...

See my previous post on about this course if you haven't already.

I made some mistakes and felt like giving up half way through.

• I did not have as many layers on a 4k square as the instructor. Meaning I had to combine layers to get to 12. I thought combining the clothes pieces together would be logical, but that made it harder to create shadows.

• My line work sucks. The creator of the course is obviously more skilled in drawing and creating straight lines, but I guess that comes with more practice and dedication.

Things I picked up:

• Reducing the resolution makes it possible to gain more layers

• Think about where the light is coming from when creating shadows

• More knowledge about using procreate: selection tool usage, various short cuts and preferred settings, alpha color locking, using different brushes, creating a noise filter

• Using layers correctly

Now it's time for the real test: to create something of my own with these freshly learned skills.
