A course by Brad Woodard , Graphic Design and Illustrator
Learn how to apply traditional techniques with digital media to create nostalgic works of art that are perfectly imperfect
Learn how to apply traditional techniques with digital media to create nostalgic works of art that are perfectly imperfect
When graphic designer and illustrator Brad Woodard discovered digital art, his biggest struggle was that it looked too flat and perfect. Throughout the course of his career, he has developed a series of techniques to combat that and create digital artwork that feels tactile, warm, and nostalgic. Brad runs his own studio and has collaborated with brands including USPS, Honda, eBay, and Uniqlo.
In this online course, he teaches you to use Procreate to design analog-style illustrations. Discover how to mimic traditional art while retaining the benefits of working digitally to create pieces that appear aged, textured, and perfectly imperfect.
This is Brad’s second Domestika course. In his first, Procreate for Beginners: Digital Illustration 101, he teaches you the fundamentals of creating digital art with Procreate from scratch.

Again, a fine course to have with Brad Woodard. Very few courses here in Domestika that took my full attention as those of Brad. Very informative, inspiring, guiding, and you can follow through easily with something to learn along.
