About this course

Procreate is the app most working illustrators reach for on iPad because it pairs a fast Metal-accelerated engine with the natural feel of the Apple Pencil. This course teaches the specific Procreate workflow that turns a blank canvas into a finished painting: setting the right DPI and color profile, building a clean layer stack with clipping masks and alpha lock, blocking value before color, and lighting a scene with blend modes. By the end you will have painted and exported a complete illustration ready for print and screen.
