'I've done some Procreate tutorials on YouTube, but they just cover one tool or technique.'

'There are so many things to remember! So many mistakes to make! As a beginner, how do I know when I've learned all the really important stuff?'

Enroll on my latest (and I think best yet) course and find out just how well I can answer these questions for you. I've been a designer/illustrator for over 30 years. I've spent thousands of hours working in various design studios, worked with hundreds of clients and used many, many digital art programs. I've produced art and design for a who's who of top businesses. You may also have seen my artwork on games that have been number 1 all over the world. Now I'm bringing that experience to you via Procreate.

We start out with a multi video project you can follow along with that quickly introduces you to many of the techniques used in Procreate. That way you get up and running quickly. But everything you see in the video is covered in much greater detail as the course progresses.

This course gives you a thorough grounding in the tools and techniques you need to know so you can create some great artwork. These tools and techniques are so fundamental that I make sure that they are covered properly and in detail. Practically every image you see is available as a download so you can follow along and I've also created many practice videos. Not a multi choice quiz where you just have to remember the name of a tool. That's not enough - you need practical exercises for a program like Procreate and I give you exactly that. I'll also give you some valuable tips about tools, techniques and workflow along the way so you can really nail down the fundamental concepts and be ready to move on to more advanced subjects.

Did you notice I said 'fundamental' instead of 'basic'? There's a reason for that. This course is aimed at beginners plus existing users who want to round out their knowledge. But that doesn't mean it's over simplified. Nope! You will learn the same tools and techniques that are used in professional studios. I've been in quite a few design studios in my time and - just between you and me - there's things on this course that I've had to explain to people who use art programs on a daily basis. That's something I can do for you too. As well as being a designer for decades I also spent some time as a teacher and my university degree is all about how people learn. And it is my firm belief that the right way to learn something like Procreate is not to just learn the tools. The right way is to learn the right workflow.

We'll start off with the basics and I'll give you practical advice based on my experience. As for the Valkyrie brush engine introduced in Procreate 5? You will have access to what I think is the most comprehensive tutorial around which covers all the brush sliders and features. We will look at more advanced features like layer masks and curves. Layer blend modes? They so important to creating digital artwork yet so many people are confused by them. Don't be. They are simple - when you know the principles behind them. I'll teach you that. I'll also cover all the adjustments Procreate has to offer. Not just what they do, but also what they can be useful for.

By the end of the course you will have mastered various effective workflows, start to finish. You will gain the confidence to tackle your own art projects, and one day soon you may well be looking at one of your own creations and thinking 'That looks fantastic! I did that...'

Enrol now. Don't forget you have the 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose and so much to gain. Learn Procreate from someone who knows what's important and knows how to teach. Feel free to check out the ratings and reviews of my other courses. My current Udemy instructor rating is 4.75 out of 5, which is an extraordinarily high score. If you are one of the people who help me get that score - thank you! I've brought the past 5 years of making these courses to this one, and I feel it's my best yet. So get ready to be an effective Procreate artist. Get ready to make your work shine!

I'll see you on the course,

Simon

I like his easy to understand explanations of how Procreate works and how he jumps right into a project to give you a practical example of how the program works, rather than just a technical explanation.

Too fast for a true beginner. Not enough time spent explaining each step. A beginner needs more step by step, not a rushed tutorial.

It was engaging, informative. I appreciated the downloads. I was presented with a course as described. I learned how, when, and why at a level of a beginner with little artistic ability but strong technical (computer skills). I think after working my way through the course, I'll want to reference specific skills and knowledge. Luckily, I can leave notes to myself throughout each video, which I can quickly scan to find the right spot on any video to tell me what I had forgotten. Simon knows his stuff and how to teach!

I'm sketching the fish along with the instructor. HOW FUN!!! My fish doesn't look as cute, but with practice, it will. I can see how to finally use all those "How to Draw books" and create things.

This is the only course on procreate you’ll need. It covers everything from UI to animation and 3D painting. The instructor is very knowledgeable, explains things in an engaging and comprehensive manner. There is great feedback in Q&A section even now (years after the course is released) and I see updates on the new features Procreate added with 5.0 updates. It’s a pleasure to attend a course made by someone who is so passionate about teaching and illustrating!

I have never done any digital artwork at all... I got about half of the angler fish drawn. I didn't get the part about the eye, and working with layers, but I know he said he'd go into more detail later. I'm thrilled with what I got done in less than fifteen minutes, and I can't wait to finish the course!

Great so far other than the fact that my pen is not reacting as it should, eg the eraser worked then didnt and liqiufy does not work.

Yes! I love Simon's sense of humor, and how he gets you right into using Procreate, rather than just talking about it. I'm very excited to continue this course. Thank you, Simon!

I am just at the beginning of this course. The explanations are great. I’m wondering how I listen and follow along in Procreate at the same time…

I am listening to the lecture on my iPad 10.5. I think what I’ll do is open up my iPadPro12.9 also and bring the Procreate App onto the screen so I can start my first project of sketching the fish while listening to Simon’s lecture No. 2. I can start and stop Simon’s lecture while I’m doing my sketch!
