Wild Flowers in Procreate Information

Wild Flowers in Procreate is a course designed to teach digital illustrators how to create realistic botanical illustrations of flowers using the Procreate app.

Even a child can draw a flower … But only an experienced digital illustrator can draw one that looks like a real thing.

Drawing a shape that resembles a flower is super simple. We’ve all been doing it since kindergarten and it’s one of the most common drawing motifs.

Drawing a realistic flower, however, is something completely different. As beautiful as they are, they’re also extremely complex living things, full of various colour shades and elusive details that can make or break your artwork.

Why you should learn botanical art if you haven’t already?

Flowers, leaves, and other botanical motifs are naturally beautiful and often catch people’s attention. It’s not surprising that you see botanical designs everywhere you look. Whether it’s fashion, textiles, interior design, restaurants, packaging design, hip cafes or even social media content, flowers can make every design shine.

A gorgeously painted flower can be a stand-alone work of art or a filler for a main motif’s background. They are as versatile as they are wonderful to look at and they’re often included in every field of graphic design.

I’ve been doing botanical art for over 15 years for brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Sephora!

As mentioned above, in my fifteen years of working as a professional illustrator, I’ve done quite a few botanical designs for some of the biggest brands in their industries.

Through a long process of learning, I’ve taught myself the rights and wrongs of drawing floral motifs. It’s the field of illustration I’ve spent the most time studying and practising. I’ve actually become so proficient at it that I’m now teaching artists, such as yourself.

The demand for botanical art sky-rocketed in the last few years. Being able to constantly grow and pass my knowledge onto others enabled me to find out exactly what it takes to master floral illustration. ‍

Filled with a bunch of “insider” knowledge, this course will give you everything you need to confidently draw any flower you want!
