Course Description
My name is Kurt, and I useProcreate in my professional work at Image Comics as well as my own digital paintings. I've been creating tutorials and online courses since 2013 teaching thousands of students worldwide about digitalart.
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 mightplay some Beethoven!
There are so many hidden gestures, functions,and features that take a full advantage of iPad's multi-touch features in a way that is simply impossible on Android or Windows devices.
The course is designed to show you how to get the most of Procreate in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step way. I've covered the basic toolsin my course The Beginner's Guide to Digital Art with Procreate, and this course takes it all a step further and really dives deep into Procreate's tools and gestures.
There are several sections that focus on different areas of the application. Here are a few examples:
Layer functionsAlpha lock - never worry about going outside the lines again!
Reference - select your flat colors without switching layers!
Masking - a super-powerful digital art tool!
Drawing and painting tricksQuickline - Draw straight lines without a ruler at perfect angles!
Add textures to your work and control where they go.
Paint with the Smudge tool. Even paint with the eraser!
Little-known gestures galore!
Control how the Filters &Adjustments affect your work with great accuracy.
In each lesson, I'll go over how a function works, then show you how you can use it in your own art. Many of Procreate's functions are MUCH more powerful than most users realize.
I'll also include:
the Procreate file I work on throughout the coursethe Procreate filefrom two ofmy own digital paintings with all the layers, so you see exactly how these techniques work from the inside out. This also includes the time-lapse playable within Procreate.
You can fast-forward, rewind and zoom to see the process of creating it! Very helpful.

Hi! Ihavebeen working professionally as a comic book coloristsince 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 2021, I've colored over a hundred books for publishers such as Image Comics, Vault Comics, Top Cow, IDW, Oni, and many others.
