Course Description

Procreate is a simple, but powerful digital drawing app for the iPad. Beginners and seasoned pros alike use this incredible app for everything from quick sketches to finalized artwork for publication. Procreate is a bit like a piano. If you know the basics, you can play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or, with a little practice, you might play some Beethoven!

This course is designed to teach you an easy-to-follow, step-by-step way to use Procreate's symmetry tools and drawing guides to draw perfect shapes and angles or use the awesome new symmetry tools to create stunning mandalas, mirrored artwork, and kaleidoscope-like trippy-looking drawings!  I've heard "I can't even draw a straight line" many times over the years, and Procreate takes care of that with ease. :) 

We'll go through the app together - first covering the basic tools and how to use them. Procreate is also full of neat little gestures that can be hard to stumble across, but I'll show you my favorites.

I teach you how to use vertical symmetry to create mirrored images in half the time it would take to draw the whole thing. I'll go over the incredible new radial symmetry tool as well. It's a great way to create designs to sell, publish, or print!

My name is K. Michael Russell, and I use Procreate extensively in my work for publishers like Image Comics and Top Cow as well as my own paintings and drawings. I've been creating tutorials since 2013 teaching thousands of students worldwide about digital art. Procreate is MUCH more powerful than most users realize. You'll learn tons of tips, tricks, and shortcuts that I had to learn the hard way! :)

I'll also include: 

  • Example PSD & Procreate files I've created with the app.

  • Time-lapse videos from Procreate in mp4 format

So check it out! If you'd like a fun walkthrough my hands-down favorite drawing app, I'll see you inside!

*Requires Procreate 4.2 & an iPad. Apple Pencil is preferred, but touch/finger will work as well.

Instructor Details

Kurt Michael Russell

Hi! I have been working professionally as a comic book colorist since 2011 and teaching digital coloring online on YouTube since 2013.

I learned about coloring the hard way early on, and I do my best to make sure that no one else has to take the same route I did! I'm still always learning new things and try to bring you guys along with me.

As of 2020, I've colored over a hundred books for publishers such as DC, Image, Vault, Dynamite, Chaos, Top Cow, IDW, Oni, and many others.

This is a great class and I learned some good information! If you haven’t played with Procreate very much, you will learn a lot! Try it, you’ll like it!

very good directions and repeats to understand how to it

By Pamela Drummond on 8/8/2019

Succinct and easy to understand material. Well planned format. Instructor is easy to understand with excellent articulation and pacing. Great camera setup so student can not only see screen but also hand movements.

By KathyAnne White on 5/21/2019

Great information on ProCreate. You can watch him work and also see what’s happening on the screen. I didn’t even know there was a symmetry feature in ProCreate. I just started this class - so far so good.

I'm just learning how to use Procreate 4.2 and my Apple pencil, and I found this to be the most engaging and fun course I've tried so far. I'll be taking more of your classes!
