Recommended Software: There are plenty of good drawing programs available to download. It is important that the program that you bring has the ability to use LAYERS in the artwork. Most programs will allow this, but some free trial versions of programs won’t have this feature activated.

If you are using an ipad, one recommended app is Procreate. It is a one-off purchase and is widely used by illustrators.

If you are using a laptop with a drawing tablet attached, Clip Studio offers a generous trial period where all features are available without paying anything.
