I will share my 4 favorite cartoon brushes which have been tweaked specifically to create clean sharp lines and produce eye candy results.

If you love to doodle and have been looking to jump into the digital art world, this is it! I take you from the very beginning. You will be able to take your existing sketches or create new ones and turn them into final polished high resolution art pieces.

You Will Learn How To:

  • Draw Fun Cartoon Characters in Procreate App on iPad Pro using Apple Pencil

  • Sketch Using a Pencil Brush

I am very passionate about sharing my knowledge with others as I continue to learn and grow on my own creative journey. 

I have been involved in the video game industry since 1999, working with clients around the world on various game developemnt projects. My main expertise is: 3D modeling, character animation, as well as 2D animation.

I have Master Level Training in: Autodesk Maya, zBrush, Substance Painter and Adobe Animate.  My gift is learning, implementing and then teaching what I learn. 

If doodling, sketching, modeling, animating, lighting, texturing and creating excites you, you will LOVE my courses. I have a very stylized cartoon art style, but once you learn the proper tools and techniques I teach, you will be able to use this knowledge in your own work and art style.

It was very good until I got to the ‘Having fun with Text’ section. This will not load and I have tried login out and then back in but all course does is take me to the next section on drawing Santa. This really spoils what was starting to be a very good course and I was looking forward to the Text section. If this isn’t corrected, I will have to give the course a 1 star rating. After all, I paid upfront for the course. Bill

great course! On the one hand you get to know Procreate as a tool with all its possibilities. On the other hand you learn some simple tricks to make your cartoon skills better :) Thanks a lot! I totally recommend this to everybody who's interested in becoming a skilled toon artist!

By Betsy Walker on 11/3/2022

Pretty good course. I liked all of the examples, but much was repetitive. It would have been better, in my opinion, to skip the sketch/ink/shadow/highlight a bit on the second and subsequent examples, so that they focus on what is different. It would also be good to name the examples based on the technique(s) being shown, rather than just the name of the figure. This would be helpful when going back to re-review the course. Thanks!

Also mein Englisch ist echt schlecht. Ich habe mir das übersetzen lassen. Und ich muss sagen, sehr schön erklärt und nachvollziehbar. Ich zeichne schon länger mit Procreate, aber habe echt was gelernt. Danke

This course is fantastic! I'm an absolute beginner and found this very easy to follow along with and very easy to understand. I always thought I would never be able to draw anything because I didn't know how but now I'm sketching anything my brain wants and I'm stoked I can now draw basic cartoons. This is a fantastic starting point. Thank you so much! :D

By Jacki Kellum on 8/15/2020

this is the best course out there for anyone who wants to learn the more contemporary cartoon styles, as well as how to use Procreate. The course includes 4 Procreate brushes and at least 6 cartoon characters for the student to create. The instruction is clear and easy to follow.

By Diya Seal on 6/3/2020

This course is good for beginners as I do know about most of the things but still I have learned few things from this course as well. However as per me few things are missing like basic information about features which beginners of Procreate may not know about

By Doug Coulter on 4/15/2020

I really loved this course. It has opened some amazing avenues I would never have considered. Your delivery of the information is comfortable while maintaining a good pace. Thanks for being here.

By Robin JOHNSON on 1/7/2020

I have been playing with Procreate for awhile now and I have already learned some things I didn’t know, which was really cool! I have Procreate side by side with this class and it makes it so much easier to try out the lessons! Great info! Thank you! ❤️
