Read an Excerpt

When I discovered Procreate, I was in a creative dry spell. I wanted to travel and be mobile, but art supplies are heavy and take up a lot of space. I invested in a refurbished iPad and immediately went down the rabbit hole of color, texture, and limitless possibilities that were at my fingertips.

WHY PROCREATE?

Procreate has the most realistic feel of all of the iPad-based drawing apps and has become a favorite tool for iPad-based artists. As we dive into the projects in this book, you’ll see that Procreate has a unique brush interface that allows you to use (or create) any brush effect you can imagine. Whether you are trying to create a realistic watercolor composition or a bold black-and-white ink pen look, you can achieve the exact texture and feel that you

could create on paper or canvas. Let’s look at some of the advantages of working digitally.

WORK ANYWHERE!

When you work digitally, you can pull out your “digital studio” wherever you go, whether you are sitting in your favorite cafe, waiting to pick up your children after school, or stuck in an airport terminal when your flight is delayed. Just a warning here — after you go through the projects in this book, you may start hoping your flights are delayed so that there is nothing to do but draw on your iPad!
