Overview

*** This class has been updated! Check out the updated version with new projects right here! ***

Procreate is now one of the most popular apps for creating artwork on an iPad. With its similarities to Photoshop, it’s no surprise that with every new update, the app becomes that much more powerful. If you’re new to procreate or not an avid Photoshop user, those updates can get pretty overwhelming. That’s where this course comes in.

In Procreate for Beginners, we break down all the most important tools, in the most digestible way. We begin with mini tutorials describing tools and techniques for an efficient workflow without the confusion. After a series of mini tutorials, we create a project together using those same tools to increase confidence. The repetition of using those tools on a real project also helps to make future projects a breeze.

We’ll complete 4 main projects together that focus on layer order, color palettes, brush settings, editable text, clipping masks and layer masks, blending effects and depth, lettering for art and lettering for future font making, as well as symmetry, blend modes, export options and next steps for your Procreate art.

Through this class, you’ll also receive some procreate bonuses! Included in the course are two custom Procreate brushes, every color palette for our different projects, a transparent png texture and a metallic silver jeweled texture, free lettering guides and every Procreate project file if you ever need to reference them in the future.

Whether you’re brand new to Procreate or have been an avid user that could use some additional workflow tips, this course was created for you.
