Unlock the power of Procreate with illustrator and digital painting educator Nathan Brown! With over 25 years of experience in both traditional and digital media, Nathan shows you how to translate your design skills into an approachable, intuitive illustration workflow. From rough sketching to finishing touches, this course guides you step-by-step through creating polished artwork, even if you think you’re “not good at drawing.”

This beginner-friendly course is geared at designers, illustrators, and creatives who want to add hand-drawn illustration and painting to their toolkit. You’ll explore the Procreate app at a manageable pace, experiment with brushes, layers, textures, typography, and animation, and follow along with practical projects. Plus, if you’ve used Adobe Creative Suite before, you’ll already have a head start on concepts like layers and blending modes.

Together with Nathan, you’ll learn how to:
Confidently navigate Procreate’s interface, tools, and gestures
Set up custom canvases, layers, and color palettes for a professional workflow
Use brushes, textures, and effects to bring depth and personality to your work
Incorporate typography and layout techniques for polished compositions
Build a repeatable process for sketching, painting, and finishing illustrations

This course is perfect for any aspiring creative who wants to sketch and develop ideas faster, or anyone who’s opened Procreate once, felt lost, and closed it again. By leaning into this intuitive tool, you’ll unlock a new level of creativity and add a fresh style to add to your portfolio. By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident using Procreate to explore ideas and create polished artwork of your own. So grab your iPad and let’s get started!
