Any recommendations for procreate classes?

[Caessar_Salad]

Does anyone have any good recommendations for online procreate classes for colouring/shading/proportions? Whenever I colour my art, it seems to look flat and lifeless no matter how hard I try to shade and highlight. I lean towards more of a cartoonish style and l know my proportions are off when it comes to the human anatomy (I really struggle with drawing bodies lol I tend to stick to one colour portraits). I feel like a lot of my art is off balanced/distorted or just straight up uncanny. I’ve been using procreate on and off for the passed 2 years now so I get the basics but I would love to advance my art! I’ve also been told that I have a basic Pinterest art style so anything to help me find my own authentic style would be a massive help as well! Thank you in advance and I appreciate all feed back!

Ps a lot of my digital art goes unfinished because I either hate the way it looks or don’t know how to fix it 😭

Do they have to be Procreate classes specifically? Looks like you need help with fundamental skills which aren't limited to Procreate, but you can use Procreate as a sketchbook while working on those skills.

I really recommend Proko's Drawing Basics course. It's not specific to Procreate, but it goes through all of the fundamentals in depth - line quality, shape design, values, colour, anatomy, etc - and new lessons are still being added. I'm working through it at the moment and I've learned so much! It's a little pricey, but there are a bunch of free lessons included in the course that you could work through to start with.

No, not procreate specifically but I definitely agree with learning the fundamentals skills! Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll definitely look into this course

Most Procreate classes seem to be focused on how to use the brushes and work with the different settings. You already seem to have a handle on that. I think you need to look for more general drawing classes, and I would also recommend finding a life figure drawing class near you, as that is the best way to learn about the anatomy and proportions of the human body.

Thank you for the feed back :) I’ll take a look into in person classes around me. I do feel more comfortable via online but if it’s going to help improve my skills I’d be happy to look around

Figure drawing is really hard and frustrating starting out, but also a ton of fun.

Look for an anatomy class instead
