Description
In this class, I am going to introduce you to the ‚Iconic Retro' art style and I am showing you ways how you can draw this style in Procreate.I called the art style ‚Iconic' because the items we illustrate are geometric and bold, minimalistic but still easily readable and we only use a limited color palette - the same rules that apply to a good icon!I added the attribute ‚Retro' because of what and how we are going to illustrate: the type and shape of our items might be old fashioned, these items might not even exist any longer, like an old toy from our grandparent's childhood days. Furthermore, the color combination we might use, and including texture and a special shading technique add to a retro appearance as well.No matter whether you are more of the ‚clean-and-vector-like-lover' or you prefer to indulge in shading and texture, or even if you like the one today, the other tomorrow, this class is for you!I will show you two different ways of illustration, the first one is clean and vector-like, the second full with juicy texture. By using the resources I created for you, and that come free with the class you are going to be easily able to depict both styles.I chose a holiday theme for my illustration but you are of course welcome to go with any other subject, you like. But maybe you want to give your beloved ones something unique, something you made yourself, why don't you take your illustration and print it out as your this year's Christmas card to send to family and friends?Anyway, I hope you'll have as much fun with this art style as I do, so let's get into it.I will see you in class!
