Draw what you love on your iPad

We call it digital drawing to look at your favorite things with a gentle gaze and to move those warm thoughts into an image on your iPad, but you can make it feel as though you’re working with a colored pencil or crayon. Together, we’ll put together your favorite colors and complete your illustration.

I love everything related to the seasons; people and their fashion, small items, plants, flowers, desserts. So, in my class, you will be able to take time to draw the people you love, including yourself, and the little things you like. Anything that catches your gaze!

Draw for yourself

These days, I upload a lot of pictures on Instagram of illustrations I created using the iPad. I like to order my favorite desserts in a cafe and draw them. On the days you like how you look, or do something special or fun, put it in an illustration. The time you use to paint is completely yours, and through that time, your life gets enriched.

Learn to draw an iPad with textures that look like they’re on paper!

Through the class, I will start with one-dimensional drawings and then teach you to add depth using contrast, and we'll use an iPad, but it’ll feel like you’re using a colored pencil or crayon to draw small illustrations that look like you're drawing on paper. Learn how to use colors and how to draw step by step.

Draw what you love, anywhere.

Artist Bodam

@bodamxbodam

Hello, I’m Bodam, an artist who creates illustrations and your instructor.

I also work on webtoons and illustrations.

I wrote the Daum webtoon “Rooftop Bread" and wrote and drew the picture essay “I'm going to rest for a bit". Besides that, I also work on published illustrations and various other works.

• People who want to capture special moments in illustrations but don’t know where to start
• People who have started drawing, but have hit a setback in their growth
• People who wanted to draw things they like
• People who want to learn a new, enriching hobby

You can access the class videos for 20 weeks. Within that period, you can replay the videos in as many devices as you want.

Also, you need an Apple Pencil to take the class. iPad Air, iPad, iPad Pro all works! Do not forget about downloading the 'Procreate' app as well.

Q. I’ve never taken an art class. Will I be able to follow along?

A. Of course. If you look at your favorite things with a gentle gaze and fill them in with your favorite colors, you will enjoy the moment of drawing, regardless of whether you are good at it or not. Then in time, it will become your hobby and you can create special moments.

Q. How do I apply what I’ve learned in class?

A. After taking the class, you can draw various things such as basic objects and plants. You can draw in a cafe or at home and make your own drawing diary, wallpaper, postcard, calendar, etc.
