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. Â
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. Â
Take this first small step in getting to know Procreate and soon you'll fall in love with it too!
