“iva’s class completely exceeded my expectations! i was a little nervous since i’m new to procreate, but her step-by-step approach made everything so easy to follow. she explains things clearly, from choosing the right reference to adding beautiful watercolor effects. i loved how she broke down color palettes and stylization. it helped me create a portrait that actually looks good! i can’t believe how much i learned in such a short time. highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to paint pet portraits in procreate!”
