If you’re new to Procreate or not-so-new to it but still not in love with it, this class is the place to start. I’ll walk you through the basics of keeping a digital sketchbook in Procreate from setting up a canvas to completing your first 7 days of digital sketching.
As a 10+ years user of Photoshop, I went into Procreate expecting it to be a simpler version of Photoshop and when it wasn’t, I felt frustrated. Forever stubborn and determined to work my iPad Pro into my workflow, I decided to start small with Procreate by using it as a digital sketchbook.
Allowing myself a no pressure situation to grow more comfortable with Procreate was just what I needed and I think it will help you too. Too often we expect to pick up our fancy new art tools and create AMAZING art RIGHT NOW. These days I’m a big advocate of small successes that lead to bigger ones and that’s why I’m hoping you’ll join me on this digital sketchbook journey.
Take this first small step in getting to know Procreate and soon you’ll fall in love with it too!
