Tell me if this sounds familiar:

🧐 You’ve seen Procreate artists on social media, but have no clue how they make it look so easy.

😵‍💫 You open up the Procreate app only to find yourself staring at a blank canvas wondering how to actually start.

I’ve heard from countless artists who say that they wish they could use Procreate for illustrations in their surface design portfolio but feel overwhelmed by where to start.

Before I learned how to use Procreate, I would spend hours and hours on a single illustration.

Now, I’m able to create professional illustrations for my art licensing portfolio from my iPad in less than half the time it takes using other digital art software. (Plus, using a stylus to draw is waaaaay more intuitive than clicking a mouse!)

 
 

Plus, when you create digital illustrations, you can work from anywhere.

It could be your couch or a cool coworking space in Bali.

As a digital nomad, I get to work on professional illustrations like this one anywhere I can bring my iPad – my favorite cafe in Costa Rica, cruising in a plane at 30,000 feet, laying in a hammock, or even just alone in my studio before anyone else wakes up.

And you could do the same.

Start today with Draw Animals in Procreate, where you’ll learn the A to Z of creating professional digital illustrations that will sell well.

Meet Your Teacher!

 

I avoided Procreate for years because I was hesitant about the learning curve. In 2019, curiosity prevailed: I downloaded the app and dove in headfirst. Turns out, learning how to use Procreate was waaaay easier than I thought. (And pretty fun, too!)

Procreate is like having an entire art studio on your iPad. My art style and design portfolio have both bloomed in the years since. I’ve created hundreds of illustrations in Procreate and it’s opened up so many opportunities for me as a professional illustrator. My Procreate artwork is now sold in Target, Urban Outfitters, HomeGoods, and more!

I hope you’ll join me inside the class to draw gorgeous artwork and learn how to use Procreate to create opportunities in your own art business! You’ve got this. 💪

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Who this class is for:

Complete beginners: This class is for all levels, so if you’ve never used Procreate before, you’re going to be able to follow along just fine and create an awesome illustration.

Experienced illustrators: If you’re already a Procreate pro, you’re going to get my best tips & tricks for creating professional-level illustrations.

Plus, this class is packed with insider resources and shortcuts. The idea here is that we’re going back to basics with a few fresh ideas.

 

What you’ll learn:

  • Shortcuts for navigating the Procreate app with ease

  • Professional illustration & composition techniques

  • How to add texture & shading in Procreate

  • How to create high-quality art within the strict layer limits in Procreate

  • Professional advice for a career in art licensing and surface design

  • How to save time & recolor artwork with ease

  • How to key into upcoming trends to boost your sales

 
 

You’ll learn as you draw, step-by-step!

Step 1: Outline the Animal

When it comes to drawing, I love using reference photos to assist me! After all, it can be pretty daunting to look at a blank screen and decide what/how to draw. Even if you’re not super confident with your drawing skills, you can use reference photos to literally trace and refine.

Reference photos are great for helping you with that starting point. So that’s exactly how we’re going to begin the class!

Step 2: Sketch the Foilage

Just like we did with the animal silhouette, you’ll learn how to use reference photos to give you a head start with your floral embellishments.

Then, you’ll learn how to reposition and resize your reference photos to make your sketch simple and easy!

 

Step 3: Outline & Fill the Animal

This is the super relaxing part. Once your sketch is finalized, you’ll learn how to use an outline brush (one of the class bonuses) to refine your sketch.

We’ll focus on brush control– you’ll learn how to achieve a variety of thick and thin brushstrokes by alternating the pressure you apply to the screen.

Step 4: Fill in the Florals

Once you’ve finished the outline, it’s time to start to start dropping in color to fill in the floral embellishments. Just like drawing those outlines, I also find this part incredibly relaxing. It reminds me of coloring books– meditative and calming.

 

Step 5: Add Texture & Fine-Tune

You’ll learn how to spot-edit and layer-edit color so the final illustration is uniquely your own!

You’ll learn how to create some truly stunning and elegant versions of your final artwork. As a bonus for enrolling in this class, you’ll receive are four professional Procreate Brushes, including two texture brushes– for free!

Step 6: Explore Color Palettes

Once you’ve finalized your illustration, it’s time to take it to the next level: you’ll play around with color and create some fabulous color alts out of your existing illustration!

You’ll learn four methods for creating some diverse and on-trend color versions. This is a huge component of art licensing and print-on-demand. Instead of just uploading one design to a POD site like Society6 or Redbubble, you can have five or ten more designs to sell online just by creating new color palettes. This is a great strategy for increasing your chances of getting designs sold.

    By the time you finish, you’ll not only be comfortable creating more Procreate artwork, but you’ll be excited to fill up your Procreate gallery with tons of new artwork!

  • This class is for all levels, so if you’ve never used Procreate before, you’re going to be able to follow along just fine and create some awesome illustrations!

    And if you’re already a Procreate pro, you’re going to get my best tips & tricks for creating professional-level illustrations.

    Plus, this class is packed with insider resources and shortcuts. The idea here is that we’re going back to basics with a few fresh ideas.

  • You’ll need an iPad and the drawing app, Procreate. I also use an Apple Pencil because it feels more natural when I’m drawing. However, if you don’t have a stylus –no problem– you can also just use your finger.

  • When it comes to drawing, I love using reference photos to assist me! After all, it can be pretty daunting to look at a blank screen and decide what/how to draw.

    Even if you’re not super confident with your drawing skills, you can use reference photos to literally trace and refine.

    Reference photos are great for helping you with that starting point. So that’s exactly how we’re going to begin the class!

    You’ll learn exactly how to find reference photos online and then use them as starting point with your sketch.

  • Short answer: Yes!

    My licensing portfolio contains a bunch of different mediums: Procreate, watercolor, acrylic, India ink, Illustrator, etc. So far, in my career in art licensing, I've never run into an issue with a client who couldn't accept my files because of their format.

    Instead, the biggest factor is the canvas size & DPI of your artwork. If it's too small to print on products, it won't be a viable design to license.

    That's why I create my Procreate illustration on the largest canvas size available for my model of iPad in Procreate. For rasterized artwork like this, bigger art = more opportunities.

    And don’t worry– I’ll be covering all this in the class as well!
