What you'll learn

  • You'll learn that Procreate's tools are more powerful than most realize!
  • You'll learn tons of tips, little-known tricks, and shortcuts for this amazing iPad app.
  • You'll learn creative ways to use selections, layer masks, filters, adjustments, and a lot more!
  • You'll learn art techniques you'll be able to immediately apply to your own work!
  • You'll learn how to properly paint colors over a black and white value painting or greyscale painting.

Requirements

  • iPad (the newer, the better.)
  • Apple Pencil (or a stylus compatible with your tablet.)
  • The Procreate app from the App Store (or your favorite painting app. Most of these techniques have an equivalent function in other apps.)
  • Basic knowledge of Procreate tools... taught in my beginner Procreate course if you need it.
  • Be ready to learn! I'll provide our exercise at various stages, so you can skip the sketching if you like, and go straight to painting.
  • Basic drawing skills. This isn't a "how to draw" course.

Description

Procreate is an amazing digital art app on iPad for sketching, drawing, finished illustrations, and painting that total beginners or seasoned professionals can use to make digital art! Procreate is a bit like a piano. If you know the basics, you can play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or, with a little practice, you might play some Beethoven!

The course is designed to show you an easy-to-follow, step-by-step method of digital painting from grayscale to color. It's a great way for beginner's to learn how to focus on the important parts (value and contrast) without having to worry as much about color at first. This method will make it easier for you to select colors that work well together. You'll also learn how to avoid the common mistakes and pitfalls beginners make - like flat looking colors.

We'll go through the entire process together - from sketch to finished product! In each section, we'll focus on a specific aspect of the process.

  • We'll start with a basic thumbnail sketch, but feel free to create your own. 
  • We'll tighten it up and start adding the light and shading.
  • We'll learn how to apply colors in a simple, but effective way that works for almost any type of digital painting.
  • Lastly, we'll polish up the fine details.

My name is Kurt, and I use Procreate in my professional work Image Comics as well as my own digital paintings. I've been creating tutorials and online courses since 2013 teaching thousands of students worldwide about digital art. 

Procreate is MUCH more powerful than most users realize. You'll learn tons of tips, tricks, and shortcuts that I had to learn the hard way! :)

I'll also include: 

  • the Procreate file I work on throughout the course, so you can see how the layers work from the inside!
  • several stages of our exercise, so you can pick it up at almost any point in the process.

So join me! If you'd like a Bob Ross-style walkthrough with my favorite digital art app for iPad, check it out. See you inside! :)

-KMR

This was an extremely informative and helpful course. I learned a lot from it and I can see improvements to my Procreate art already! One thing I think could make this course even more easy to navigate through is renaming some of the lectures so that it's more clear what's being covered in that video.

Hi! I have been working professionally as a comic book colorist since 2011 and teaching digital coloring online on YouTube since 2013.

I learned about coloring the hard way early on, and I do my best to make sure that no one else has to take the same route I did! I'm still always learning new things and try to bring you guys along with me.

As of 2020, I've colored over a hundred books for publishers such as Image Comics, Vault Comics, Top Cow, IDW, Oni, and many others.
