Painting with iPad Pro using Procreate drawing.

erinrew

My family surprised me with an early birthday present and gave me my first iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I am over the moon to figure out digital painting, as I’ve been purely traditional up until now. I watched Will Terry’s class on ‘Painting with iPad Pro with Procreate’ and did a quick sketch of his robot drawing. There’s so much more I can do with this drawing, but I’m eager to start working on my dummy book so this is as far as I’ve taken it for now. Just wanted to share my FIRST ever digital drawing. Can’t wait to learn more.

That being said does anyone have some recommendations for where to learn more about Procreate?

@erinrew How exciting! Great work on your take of Will Terry’s dog-walking robot, you should be proud that you’re starting your digital art journey from such a solid foundation. I’m also new to digital drawing and Procreate, so far I’ve just been sketching and experimenting with effects so no finished works to share.

There is a lot to explore I actually spent the better part of last night learning from a video on James Julier's YouTube channel "A Beginner's Guide to Procreate" it’s long and pretty comprehensive and should connect you to a lot more similar videos through recommendations

@erinrew great first digital painting! - for other places to look to learn I would say Nikko Lockertsen is the way to go - he is a procreate master

@erinrew I feel the excitement. I have has mine for 2 months now and it has become my most prized art tool.

There are a couple of places I would recommend :

https://www.skillshare.com/ there are a ton of courses on this platform each tackling different styles techniques and things you can do with procreate.
Bardot Brush also does a ton of tutorials https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSNvnDVDjyfr8zKZMGcjvlg
Procreate has thier own websiteries too on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlpSQCrjuGkoZHyUyO3cNEMyYPNkF0Hne

For brushes:

1)Free brushes https://jaejohns.com/free-procreate-brushes/
2) Even more Free: https://www.brad.site/procreatebrushes/index.html
3) Paid but really wide variety : https://creativemarket.com/search?q=procreate+brushes

Hope this helps

@erinrew I subscribed to Bardot brushes on you tube. Super easy to follow along and learn the basics.
