Drawing and Painting on the iPad with Procreate

From the moment Steve Jobs walked on stage and unveiled the iPad I’ve wanted to draw on one. It took a couple years for the hardware and software to catch up but now the iPad a fantastic little art studio you can easily take anywhere. 

  • I believe it’s best to learn through examples. here is what we will be doing in this course:

  • We will be going over the tools

  • After going over the tools we will be using them to draw to reinforce how they work

  • The drawing sessions are simple and easy to follow, anyone can do them

  • We will go through how simple comic strips are made step by stem from drawing panels to pencils to inks to colors and backgrounds

  • We will be learning all the shortcuts and options associated with each and every tool.

  • The final project will take all the skills we’ve learned and combining them into one final painting

Why Procreate? The best drawing app for he iPad is Procreate. procreate has been listed in the iPad’s top selling apps month after month and for good reason. It rivals many desktops apps for power and features. In this class we tackle Procreate to start drawing on the iPad.

Who is this for:

  • People who want to learn to draw but don’t know where to start

  • Illustrators looking to learn everything about Procreate

  • People who love drawing and sketching and want to start doing it digitally

Now updated for Procreate 5.

So far so good This a perfect guide for ProCreate and for drawing.

I am half way through, so far so good!

So far so good - good explanation of the basic tools without going into overwhelming detail - stuff I don’t need to know yet that will serve to confuse and I will not remember!

I’ve only been through 2 lessons....so far so good.

So far so good course is okay but I can hear the moderator tapping on his iPad when he did this course... which can be distracting when trying to learn it Sometimes the lesson is a tad different than what is on my IPad (due to updates I'm told) and since I don't know anything about any of it....it is quite confusing...Example: under the wrench tool I chose image and was asked to look for "insert a flat image", well I didn't have that wording...mine said "insert a file" or "insert a photo"!

So far so good, all is clear.

so far so good Having worked with procreate for over a year, I’ve learned new things from the first two basic videos.

step by step

The phase is perfect, the explanations are understandable, and the step by step work with u is wonderful.

I like the step by step approach in layer sections I am only halfway through this course, but so far have learned about features I would never have found on my own.

Very articulate and he clearly explains the tools and shows you what they do step by step.

This is great for learning different techniques step by step It has jumped a bit in chapter 2 and is not allowing me to go back.

Till Now Am Able To Learn Step By Step Clear and easy to learn.

Clear and concise, step by step instructions.

I love the hands-on feel with step by step guidance.

This course will give me a step by step instruction on how to use Procreate.

It leads me step by step, it's easy to follow, everything is very well explained.

Great step by step guide to get to grips with the basics of procreate.

The course teaches, if not all, mostly of the things present in Procreate step by step in a perfect flow.

Look forward to the next chapter I liked his clear step by step approach.

I am only halfway but I learned too much useful information, step by step with activities and resources.

I like the step by step.

go back

Sections are appropriately labeled so that I can go back and rewatch when I have to.

Easy to go back and refer to something in case it wasn’t clear.

I find it useful in being able to go back and repeat sections.

Yes, just what I needed although some of the things I had to go back and practise as although he provides a description of what he's doing with his fingers sometimes I am doing them too quickly (ie pulling up the dock and the fileshare).

Also it’s hard to see what the instructor is clicking on sometimes, as there aren’t any visual cues to highlight where he is clicking, but that’s okay, I just “rewind” and go back and work that out.

The chapters are well organized so it’s easy to go back and find instructions for tools when you need a refresher.

I love the fact that I can go back and do it all again if I need to.

Love the course, Very clear explained, I love that I can go backward and forward with sections - to remember and refresh some parts.

It's easy to find what you have forgotten and go back and re-learn it again.

Hard to remember all that technical stuff, but you can go back later to review anytime.

If I forgot a technique during an exercise it was easy to go back in the video to take another look.

The pace is nicely metered one nice and simple area covered per lecture and organized so simply that it is easy to go back and review content.

I am sure I will have to go back and watch parts of it later because it cover o much, but what a great resource to have!

There are a few things I need to go back and watch.... in the 4th module because for some reason my app wasn't doing the same thing!

ipad pro

I feel like I can now jump into Procreate on my new iPad Pro and not be lost!

Thanks to his in-depth reviews, I ended up buying an ipad pro.

Support split screen for iPad pro Very cool....pleasant instructor....you learn what he says you will learn...I enjoyed the course.

I bought the 9x12 ipad pro, bought my Procreate, and realized I needed to know a thing or two about foundation functions.

This course was the key to understanding procreate so I could perform at the same level on ipad pro preocreate.

Sarbjit It’s awesome, I’m Taiwanese, my English isn’t pretty well, but I still understand what he teach, this is my first time use iPad Pro and enjoy drawing, from this tutorial, I learn so much, it’s useful for somebody don’t know how to use Procreate.

I just bought the ipad pro and I was LOST... realy helps to understand how the app works and how to find those hidden features!!

I am a total beginning to drawing/art and using Procreate on an iPad Pro.

I've always been a traditional artist and just got my first iPad Pro so that I can learn to do my illustrations digitally.

I wish I could do side by side on iPad Pro apps or picture in picture so I could be in procreate while he’s talking.

I am new to ipad procreate!

I am new to Ipad Pro and Procreate.

Good examples Everything said was clear with very good identification in the software Video should fill the whole screen (iPad Pro 11”), now it leaves space around the video even in fullscreen.

Only suggestion would be to add the Ipad Pro how to split screen for ipad beginners, so you an work along with the different steps.

digital art

I received an ipad for my birthday a few years ago and never did anything with it because I have no background in digital art.

too much is out of date and not current I have never painted digitally before but I love art and technology so I decided to make a step forward to the digital art.

Nice and very helpful for digital artists Well done!

sim tudo que precisava aprender Very informative Really nice, I would share this to someone who wants to start digital art but doesn't know where to begin This is a very good course on explaining many of the features of Procreate.

Haven’t done digital art for years - loving this course for easing me back in.

I never had any experience with digital art at all before Procreate but with the help from Brad, I learned a lot and managed well in Procreate.

I have never used procreate or done any digital art.

If you already can do some simple sketches on paper then this course would help you to transition your skills to digital art.

Also for me the bigger take away from this course is "How a digital artist's workflow looks like'.

I feel very comfortable using the various features and look forward to drawing, painting and creating awesome digital art!

I had no experience in digital art going in beyond my own attempts to use the app and this made a huge difference.

Great course for beginners and people who are new to creating digital art.

Nice....not new to digital art, but new to procreate, an so the speed of the lessons is awesome .

I knew the tools to do digital painting, but from this course I really learned how to use the tools to create digital art!

Easily worth the money.

This course was well worth the money and time and I now feel like I have enough of an understanding of Procreate to use it happily.

So worth the money!

Overall, a very good course--well worth the money.

Definitely worth the money.

Overall I think this course is worth the money, it teaches you a lot within the first few videos.

youtube channel

I was excited to learn more about procreate with Brad as my instructor because he’s an amazing teacher and I am subscribed to his YouTube channel so finding his course on procreate was perfect.

Very clear I bought the course because I watch the YouTube channel of Brad and he explains everything very clear and wel.

I have subscribed to your YouTube channels and newsletters.

I'm a regular viewer of his Youtube channel so when I saw he had a Procreate Udemy course, it was a no-brainer for me to grab.

Being familiar with Brad's Youtube channel I decided to pick up this course.

I have Followed brad's YouTube channel for 2 years now so I didn't expect anything less than a very good and professional tutorial course i will be highly recommending this course ..Loved the comic book section Great overview of the product.

Neat, but all fairly simple, and seems like all is already available on his YouTube channel great course i hope for a follow up would love to attend more drawing classes by brad colbow good info, but takes forever to get to actual drawing.

Definitely go check out his youtube channel!

apple pencil

:) Some things, like the placement of a fingertip on the screen while drawing a line with the Apple Pencil, are supposed to have certain results, like causing the line to match the perpendicular plane or at least jump to a new angle.

I have an iPad with Apple Pencil (2) - and this really showed me how to get the most out of the Procreate program.

Yes, it’s what I expected Been subscribed to Brad's youtube channel for quite some time ago, since I get my Apple Pencil and Procreate app and really want to draw something.

Procreate is an excellent software program for the iPadPro and Apple Pencil, however, it doesn't come with any kind of real world tutorial.

This course was exactly what I needed to get started with my new iPad and Apple Pencil.

I am new at drawing and have just bought the iPad Pro and apple pencil and I have learned so much on how to use them with Procreate but also how to make simple drawings.

It's a great course, it would be perfect if it explains a little bit of the use of the apple pencil and a bit more in the brush settings.

Very easy to understand so far as I follow along with my Ipad Pro and Apple Pencil!

well worth

Overall I’d say this course is well worth the price, especially if you have a discount code or catch it on sale.

Well worth the price, and your time!

Well worth the time of anyone wanting to get the most out of Procreate.

Well worth the dough.
