The above was my starting point drawing of a face. No laughing, please! I haven't drawn a whole lot lately, and haven't drawn a face in quite a long time.
After watching the first lesson I did the work on my iPad outside because it was so nice. We used a separate scan program to get the image into Procreate and then the fun really began. The power of layers (just like in Photoshop) was brought home to me once again.
I like a lot of things about my picture so far. And some I really don't, which is easy to replace/erase or transform in Procreate. The possibilities are endless with this program, which is a big part of the reason I've never gotten too far into learning a digital drawing program, that endlessness is frankly rather paralyzing to me. But I'm diving in and trying to push myself to get a little further along this time.

I found that the Apple Pencil was a little hard for me to hold for very long at a time because it's quite slim. I got myself a barrel grip thing and it really helps my hand. That's what that red thing is on the white pencil.

I just shared this post with the PVQA small group which is working on sharing information about digital programs for fiber artists! Are you a PVQA member?
Hope you don't mind that I shared this with the group. I look forward to seeing more of what you do!
I am so thrilled that you are learning this program. I have a couple of programs I use that have endless capabilities. I just use what I use and am ok with that. Don't think about the endlessness
Thanks for sharing the post Cindy, I hope that PVQA members check out the class if they're interested. No, I'm not a PVQA member. That's a good point about ignoring the endlessness, Jaye, thanks.
