I have been using the iPad and Apple pencil since early 2016 (shortly after its initial launch).These resources are meant to help you get started, but feel free to come up with your own theme and layout. Several JPEGs of card layout templates that can help you get started with your compositions.One PDF file with ideas for card themes and elements in case you are stuck getting started.In the Projects & Resources section, you will find: Adobe offers free trials of its apps so you can also start with the free trial if you don’t want to commit to paying for the app immediately but it won’t offer all of the premium features. With an Adobe CC account you will have access to both Adobe Fresco and Adobe Illustrator with one subscription. With these apps, you can create anything from logos to hand-lettering projects, from digital oil paintings to seamless repeating patterns.įor this class, you will need an iPad and Apple Pencil (various newer iPad models offer Apple Pencil capabilities) and Adobe Fresco. You can go from sketching to a finished piece of art on a single device, and it can go everywhere with you so you are always ready to create.

When I moved from drawing in sketchbooks and painting on canvas to working on the iPad it completely changed my art practice. No matter what project you are working on it can make your workflow faster and give you more flexibility to create. The iPad and Apple Pencil combined with apps like Adobe Fresco, make a powerful tool for creating art. Whether you are new to creating art and are interested in digital art, or if you have been making art for years with pencil & paper or canvas & brush but want to convert to working digitally, you will be able to follow this class. This class is for anyone who is curious about getting started on the iPad. Quick gestures and Touch Shortcuts for a faster workflow.If you are a complete beginner to Fresco you will have a full introduction to the app, but even if you’ve used Fresco before I’m confident you’ll learn a few tricks in this class. We will start with a tour of the workspace and then jump right in to working through all the tools you’ll need to go from sketch to final design in Fresco. In this class, we will focus on Adobe Fresco.

In this series, we will talk about the similarities and the differences, including which apps allow you to work in raster (Procreate), vector (Adobe Illustrator) and both raster and vector (Adobe Fresco). We will look at how similar tools work differently in each app: layers and masks, the type tool, blend modes, symmetry tools, color palettes, etc. In this series, students will learn about three drawing apps: Procreate (Part 1), Adobe Fresco (Part 2), and Adobe Illustrator for the iPad (Part 3). This class is Part 2 of a series which introduces students to creating art digitally on the iPad.
