Digital Sketching

We are all familiar with sketching with traditional drawing materials such as paper, pencils, pens and markers. In this workshop, you will discover an entirely new digital drawing format using an Apple pencil, iPad and the app Procreate. This high energy and creative 3-day workshop is divided into multiple hands-on segments, each exploring different informal iPad drawing and coloring techniques such as onsite field sketching, tracing over photographs, options for combining linework and color, digital painting tips, working with layers and essential post production editing with Adobe Photoshop. Student drawings will be printed and displayed on the final day.

Architect, author and illustrator, Jim Leggitt, FAIA has been teaching others to draw for over forty years. He authored the book Drawing Shortcuts, about merging traditional drawing techniques with new technologies. Jim has now fully embraced digital visualization using an iPad and teaches his new hybrid drawing methods in workshops.

iPad, Apple Pencil, Procreate app, power cords. We recommend students bring their own laptop as well to assist in the workshop.

Instructor will be in contact with students leading up to the workshop to help share resources for familiarizing themselves with Procreate prior to the workshop and help with any questions they may have.

Instructor will bring a color laser printer and paper for reproducing drawings generated in the workshop.
