First, watch these two introduction/demonstration videos. You may work along with both videos, if there are things you'd like to try along the way. The second video is quite long, but has good information - you may fast forward through slow areas, but don't skip any essential skills or tips.
For this beginning project, I am just asking you to create a digital artwork of any kind. The subject matter is your choice, but I'd like you to "draw/paint/create" as realistically as possible, so please work from resource photos.
Blog Post:

2. Critique your work and the iPad Pro/Apple Pencil itself. What went well, what did you like about it, what did you struggle with?
