Description

Procreate is an amazing digital art app on iPad for sketching, drawing, finished illustrations, and painting that total beginners or seasoned professionals can use to make digital art! Procreate is a bit like a piano. If you know the basics, you can play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or, with a little practice, you might play some Beethoven!

The course is designed to show you an easy-to-follow, step-by-step method of digital painting from grayscale to color. It's a great way for beginner's to learn how to focus on the important parts (value and contrast) without having to worry as much about color at first. This method will make it easier for you to select colors that work well together. You'll also learn how to avoid the common mistakes and pitfalls beginners make - like flat looking colors.

We'll go through the entire process together - from sketch to finished product! In each section, we'll focus on a specific aspect of the process.

  • We'll start with a basic thumbnail sketch, but feel free to create your own. 
  • We'll tighten it up and start adding the light and shading.
  • We'll learn how to apply colors in a simple, but effective way that works for almost any type of digital painting.
  • Lastly, we'll polish up the fine details.

My name is Kurt, and I use Procreate in my professional work Image Comics as well as my own digital paintings. I've been creating tutorials and online courses since 2013 teaching thousands of students worldwide about digital art. 

Procreate is MUCH more powerful than most users realize. You'll learn tons of tips, tricks, and shortcuts that I had to learn the hard way! :)

I'll also include: 

  • the Procreate file I work on throughout the course, so you can see how the layers work from the inside!
  • several stages of our exercise, so you can pick it up at almost any point in the process.

So join me! If you'd like a Bob Ross-style walkthrough with my favorite digital art app for iPad, check it out. See you inside! :)

A great course that will give you a good jumpstart in creating digital art in Procreate. I am glad that I discovered this course, and I will surely check out the instructor's other courses.

This course was incredibly put together and helped in so many artistic creative ways. Only reason it took me a while was because I was trying to find my style and absorb all the details included in this course. Thank you and I would recommend this to anyone stepping into the creative style of artwork.

Il corso non è male di per se ma per un vero principiante servirebbe qualcosa che spieghi le basi più nel dettaglio

Wonderful course and teacher! Not a lot of “water”, tons of useful information and tips & tricks, especially if you are a newbie with very basic knowledge of the app or drawing/painting whatsoever. I feel so excited and empowered to now sketch my own characters and bring them to life using newly learned techniques! Thank you so much for making it and for those trying to decide if this course is worth getting: get it! P.S.: special thanks for the multiple angle recording! It really helps to see the image and how/where the hands move and also see the narrator! Good job!

Fascinating to see the approach of working entirely in grayscale and then applying color. As someone fairly new to Procreate, I felt using a detailed painting as the example made the course of less value, because I don't yet know enough to know best how to add so many shadows and highlights. Maybe I should have taken this course later on in my Procreate journey, or maybe I just watch it again. In any case, the instructor is knowledgeable and I learned a lot.

I really enjoyed this class. I picked up a few excellent techniques for my tool box. Class length was just right, instructor was easy to follow and I was pleased with the result. Would recommend this course to anyone with basic Procreate skills on up.

I have been enjoying this class. I use Clip Studio to create artwork. I had an ipad pro but wondered if I needed the more expensive Cintiq. I had Procreate for a while and wanted to used it properly. This course was my first step towards mastering it. Thanks Kurt.

I have been a traditional artist for as long as I can remember, I have always loved to draw and paint. I have been interested in digital art and finally got an iPad to start learning Procreate, this course was perfect! It was extremely straight forward, fun, and I was able to learn how to navigate through the application easily. I was so overwhelmed when I first started digital painting, Kurt's guidance was a game changer for my work, thank you!

i tried multiple course for procreate, and this is one of the best, you can actually see where the pen is, and actually tell you what brush he's using. GOOD for Newbie like me!

Good so far. Wasn't sure if the tutorial needed to go into multiple sketches before moving on to actual painting. Would have been good to get some info on brushes during the shading portion.
