Throughout history, playwrights have used their gifts to highlight social movements, Every artist tells a story with their art. What makes a good story? Where do story ideas come from? What is writer's block and why does it happen!? The scariest part of writing is staring at that blank page. In this course we examine everything about a story. We look deeply into story structure and how it can help shape an idea into a great story.

This workshop explores the creative possibilities of the award-winning Procreate program, a favorite of many professional illustrators, designers and artists. This course is open to those new to Procreate as well as experienced artists with a focus in introduction to essentials, brushes and tools, layers, and shading.
