Vero Navarro

For illustrators, connecting with their audience through their work is essential, especially in the publishing industry. With her illustrations, Vero Navarro tries to add a twist to the mysterious or the unknown. Maybe that's why so many publishers want to work with her; Penguin Random House, Grijalbo, Alfaguara, Montena, RBA, Triskel, and Green Bean Books are just some of the ones she has collaborated with.

In this course, Vero teaches you the keys to digital illustration with Procreate. Learn the creative process, from the initial idea to the deliverable file, and discover how to use the app's tools, by experimenting and, above all, having fun while you work on creating a complete creative illustration. To top it off, learn how to bring it to life with Procreate's animation assistant.
