Finished Digital Illustration in Procreate | Layers, Color and Shading | Grades 6 to 12

This is the session where student work gets serious. Students will learn the introductory level of the ipad app Procreate by earning to set up a logical layer stack, then work through line art, color blocking with Alpha Lock, shading with clipping masks and blend modes, and a background. A quiet one-on-one check-in at the start makes sure every student knows what they're making. Everyone leaves with a finished illustration exported and ready for animation.

What's included: session guide with timing, the five-layer stack to teach, check-in redirects, circulating prompts, sticking points, two differentiated tracks, and an exit checklist · editable Canva slide deck

Grades: 6 to 12 · Time: 3 hours, adaptable to class periods · App: Procreate
