Get creative with Procreate on the iPad

In these lessons you will learn how to (but not limited to!😁):

  • Navigate Procreate and learn about its gestures and shortcuts

  • Use efficient techniques to create shape based illustrations

  • Learn how to manipulate and manage layers

  • Explore different art styles

From here we will build even further so that you can create your own workflow to illustrate your own original art. Further topics we can also explore include image manipulation, animation, colour theory as well as sketching techniques.

Do check out the FAQ section down below as well as I may have already addressed your question there.

No iPad? That’s ok! Learn essential Sketching and Drawing Techniques

These lessons do not require any additional materials besides a pencil, eraser and your trusty sketchbook. Colouring pens or markers are also welcome! We will be focusing on the fundamentals of drawing and how to create a sketching habit that you can maintain and continue.

Classes are beginner friendly and do not require any kind of art background.

Flexible, Customised Learning

Private Lessons via Zoom

Private lessons are fully customisable around topics or techniques that you wish to learn. Every lesson will have an illustration project to work on so that we can put all these new techniques straight into practice. Lessons are also delivered in a level appropriate manner where we progress in a logical sequence.

You will be learning in a stress-free and encouraging environment and I have put a lot of effort into making sure my online sessions are clear, engaging and enjoyable.

In Person Lessons / Workshops (Subject to COVID19 restrictions)

In person 1-1 or small group session enquiries are most welcome, but are subject to ongoing COVID19 restrictions. These sessions or workshops would be a great option for team bonding, training or as a new way to learn another creative skill set. Please feel free to email me and I’d be happy to see how I can help.

Small Group Workshops

I organise various workshop topics for Procreate beginners / intermediates throughout the year. Stay tuned to my Instagram account (@inkycatstudio) for announcements and schedules.

FAQ

What is Procreate?

Procreate is a paid digital art app available exclusively on the Apple App Store for iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. For my sessions, we will be learning on the iPad version. You may find more information on the app on their website here: https://procreate.art

Can you do online Zoom sessions?

Yes, I can conduct personalised 1on 1 lessons via Zoom. I also do in person sessions at specific locations in the east (Paya Lebar).

What can I learn with you?

Besides the basics of how to navigate and use Procreate’s tools we can also explore:

  • Sketching techniques (either with pencil/paper or digitally on the iPad)

  • Specific illustration topics (eg. food illustration, animals, bodies etc)

  • Methods and ideas on how to build a sustainable art practice

  • Any long term art goals you might have

  • How to have fun with art :)

I have an iPad XXX generation. Can I still use Procreate?

You may check the compatibility of your iPad with Procreate via their website here: https://procreate.art/faq#supported

I don’t have an iPad / Procreate can I still learn Digital art with you?

Yes, a lot of the digital art concepts I teach are applicable across other apps/programs. For non iPad tablet devices, I would recommend Clip Studio Paint instead.

I am also open to teaching Photoshop or Illustrator so just let me know.

I don’t know where to begin! Sketching or Digital Art or what…where should I start?

It’s always good to have a goal in mind, even if it’s not too specific yet. This could be something simple like, “I would like to draw cute things” or “I’d like to be able to use my iPad as a digital sketchbook”. From there I can tailor the sessions to you and that may also mean we combine both topics into the sessions. If you’re unsure, just let me know and we can work out a lesson plan for you :)

Can you teach me how to find my own art style?

Yes and no ;) Art style is completely personal and I don’t believe it’s something that can be taught. However, what I CAN help with is to show you a frame work that can help you explore different things and a mindset that could help you pinpoint how you want to grow your art style.

I haven’t drawn since bread slices weren’t square - can I still learn from you?

Yes of course! Beginners are always welcome and I will always encourage anyone regardless of age or experience to try art (even if it’s not with me). Depending on what your goals are, I will break down the basics for you so you will have a sound foundation to build your art exploration from.

My daughter/son is XX years old - can they still learn from you?

The youngest student I’ve had is 7 years old and I do think this is the minimum age for digital art. Especially when learning online via Zoom. Do note that the student does need to have a level of independence and problem solving skills to be able to learn from me online. Besides that, most younger students pick up digital art very quickly and can often make their own characters and even animations after just a few sessions.

Do you only teach children?

No, I teach adults as well. Mature age learners are especially welcome - it’s never too late to learn something new :)
