use Procreate to analyse master artworks; classic painting by NC Wyeth using Procreate, by artist Gavin O’Donnell

In this tutorial I will show you how to use Procreate to analyse master artworks. This is an unusual Procreate tutorial, as I'm going to be using the software to recreate someone else's work rather than creating our own.

The great thing about master studies is that both amateur artists / illustrators and experienced industry-working professionals can benefit from them. There's always something new to learn from the Old Masters, whether it's composition, lighting or even a storytelling technique.
