Welcome to the Class!

Hi, my name is Serena Archetti. I am a professional artist and surface designer from Italy; I have been creating art professionally for over 10 years, creating nature and fantasy inspired pattern collections and illustrations.

I have always loved exploring new art mediums both in the digital and traditional world, and recently, Procreate has stood out as a game-changer for my daily workflow and to boost my productivity, especially during my travels around the world where I needed a drawing option that was as powerful as it was portable. 

So I am super excited about sharing my knowledge of the app with you to help you master this powerful tool and start creating gorgeous art fast and easily, whether you are sitting comfortably at home or on the go.

Who is this Class For?

This course is suitable for complete beginners as I will guide you through the ins and outs of Procreate from the very basics to the more advanced options, and I will share with you all my favourite tools inside the app and how you can easily apply them to your own workflow to make creating faster and more fun.

Tools Needed

The tools that you will need to follow along with the class are:

  • An iPad that supports procreate.
  • The latest version of the Procreate App.
  • An Apple Pencil.
  • Exclusive class assets, which also include freebies and resources to help you kickstart your journey with Procreate.

Resources Included With the Class

Everything you need to follow along with the Introduction to Procreate Course, including project line art and color palette.

Get access to my original Procreate layered file to see every effect, blending mode, layer and brush stroke.

Bonus Freebies

When you enrol in the class and download the file assets, you will also get access to the premium Sketching Pencils Brush pack, which is available for my students. 

See you in class!
