Who this guide is for & what’s inside

Procreate is an incredibly powerful tool, but for many traditional artists, getting started can feel unnecessarily frustrating.

This guide is not a drawing course. Instead, it’s designed to remove the technical friction that often gets in the way of actually making artwork.

Procreate for Traditional Artists is a step-by-step orientation to the tools and workflows you need in order to feel at home inside Procreate without over-explaining, or flattening your creative voice. If you’re looking to translate your existing skills into a digital environment, this will get you there.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• A clear introduction to Procreate’s interface and essential tools

• An intuitive explanation of layers (including how not to overthink them)

• Brush selection and setup for artists coming from traditional media

• A simple, flexible workflow for drawing and building up color

• An approachable introduction to texture and blend modes

• Guidance on refining and adjusting work without undoing progress

• Troubleshooting notes for common early frustrations

Everything is taught through a single, organic drawing example, keeping your focus on process, not perfection.

A note from the artist

I came to Procreate after years of working in traditional media, and found the learning curve steeper than it needed to be. This guide is the resource I wish I’d had - something that explained the tools clearly without telling me how to make my art. My hope is that it helps you get past the technical hesitation and back to drawing.
