What’s my favorite thing about Procreate?
I can make digital art while lounging on the couch!
When I first tried it, it was super intimidating and confusing (like most design software).
Then I took lessons, practiced every day during my lunch breaks at work, and figured out a good work flow that didn’t get in the way of my creativity.
You can too!
Let me help you figure it out and have fun in the process.
It’s OK to start with your iPhone
There is a phone version of the app (Procreate is for Apple devices only).
I’ve used it to draw plein air, I drew these with my finger!
When you’re ready, upgrade to an iPad with an Apple Pencil
This gets you the deluxe experience!
Things do get cramped on the phone. And drawing with your finger can be awkward!
The app is a one time fee for each kind of [Apple only] device.
Currently $5.99 for the iPhone, $12.99 for iPad.
Search for Procreate in the App Store to obtain.
What will happen here on Substack?
I’ll be sending out this newsletter every Wednesday.
Every week I’ll give you some tips to help you get comfortable with the app.
Eventually, we’ll dive into a one hour live Zoom (which will be taped) to create art inspired by African Mudcloth., using your finger to draw.
At present, all the content is free.
