Simone will also teach you concepts like horizon lines, lighting effects, perspective, fore, mid, and background planes, giving you a solid foundation to work with when creating your own environment scenes.

You’ll discover how colors and light work, how to integrate a character into a beautiful background, and also learn nifty shortcuts to create structures (like bridges & more) and natural-looking foliage. She will walk you through her entire process of painting a beautiful background from the ground up, explaining exactly what she is doing and why, and give you lots of helpful advice that you can apply immediately in your illustrations.

Simone will show you how to avoid this and get super inspired instead! Many artists experience the exact same thing. You doodle a bit… but then push it aside, feeling frustrated! WHYYY!? Once you have your TIFF file from Procreate, open Adobe Illustrator and create a new file with your desired dimensions. A blank page can be a scary thing! You feel like drawing, so you open your sketchbook.
