Kickstarting the 2024 Digital Drawing Programme for Persons With Disabilities!

Our Digital Drawing Programme has kickstarted in November 2024! The programme focuses on teaching them essential digital drawing techniques using Procreate on iPad. From mastering fundamental strokes to creating intricate digital illustrations, this programme offers hands-on experience to bring their artistic visions to life.  

Introducing Procreate

In the first module, our journey began with teaching them the basics of Procreate. While these tools might look simple at first glance, navigating them can be tough for those with sensory or physical disabilities. Each participant faces unique obstacles that may affect their range of movements or sensory experiences, adding a layer of complexity when learning digital art. Despite these obstacles, they showed tremendous determination and remained optimistic. 

Building Skills Through Drawing a Self Portrait

One of the most exciting activities was creating self-portraits! Students learnt how to import their own pictures into Procreate as a base for their digital drawings. To make it more fun, they transform their illustrations into personalised WhatsApp stickers, which they could share with their loved ones. This exercise allowed them to express themselves, see their own identities reflected in their work!

What to Expect Moving Forward

As we continue with the Digital Drawing Programme 2024, participants can look forward to engaging hands-on sessions, and opportunities to explore their creativity.

Feeling inspired? Great news, we'll be having the second round of intake in March 2025. Whether you're refining your skills or just starting out, each session will introduce new techniques, digital tools, and fun challenges to enhance your artistic journey.
