Female Portrait: Lining Art in Procreate for Beginners

A thing about line art that I love is how it can turn your sketches into a fresh and neat piece.

Hi, I’m Beyoncé Flores, I’m a Digital Artist and in this class you’ll learn all that you need to know to beautifully line your art.

When we talk about line art, we usually have a sketch on hand and adding line art to it would give your piece a crisp and neat look. Lineart may seem challenging at first, but with enough practice, you’ll just find yourself doing it perfectly. To achieve an amazing piece, we’ll break this class down into 3 parts.

We’ll start by lining our sketch, then thickening some of our lines, then we’ll add finishing touches. My goal in this course is to help people improve their skills and learn something new that they can bring throughout their art journey. I’m sure in this class you can pick up a thing or two to beautifully line your art.

With all that said, let’s dive right in!
