There is a version of Procreate that fits in your pocket
Up for a quick drawing session while you are waiting at the doctor's office or riding the bus? Stop scrolling your socials and be creative instead. The only thing you need is your iPhone.
Even though we paint in a simplified version of Procreate, the course is in no way less interesting or less fun. If anything it allows for more fun, because you do not need to be a seasoned artist to paint something stunning.
It follows the same structured approach as all my other courses. After getting to know the tools and techniques, you put them to use in exercises that teach you how to do it on your own.
What makes this course different
Kids love it
Kids love to be creative and they love to use their hands and fingers. If you can replace some of their screen time with something that stimulates that, and is attractive enough that they want to do it on their own, that is not a bad move.
A sketch pad that is always by your side
You never know when inspiration is going to strike. No need to bring a pad and drawing supplies: your iPhone and a finger are enough. Start a project on the bus and finish it at home.
An affordable way into digital painting
This is the most affordable way to start digital illustration, without overpaying for equipment before you know the excitement sticks. The app has similar tools to the full Procreate, so you still build solid foundations, and you can always upgrade later.
A full starter pack, not just the videos
You also get 19 Procreate brushes you use in the exercises and keep afterwards, the source files and colour palettes for every design, and access to the private Facebook group.
A serious course that anyone can follow
I start at the very beginning and walk you through the tools, then straight into exercises you finish yourself. You leave able to paint on your iPhone without me.

Your mentor
For over 15 years I've been doing illustrations for brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Sephora
I'm Freya Kotchakorn. My digital illustrations have been used by Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Sephora, and I've spoken at Apple Store events to teach Procreate techniques.
Yet my favorite work isn't for big brands, it's helping complete beginners surprise themselves with what they can create. My favorite feedback is when they tell me: "It felt very geared towards beginners wanting to learn Procreate... it felt like it was attainable even for someone like me who has very little experience."
That's exactly what I designed this course to do. Make the "impossible" feel completely achievable.
Speaking at an Apple Store event about Procreate techniques
Don't take my word for it. Take theirs.
Real students who started exactly where you are right now.
Everything you make fits in your pocket
Every exercise here can be done with your iPhone and a finger. For about half of them I recommend a stylus, because it gives you more control and accuracy on a smaller screen, but nothing in the course requires one.
The app has similar tools and features to the full Procreate, so what you learn here carries over. You can make professional-looking illustrations on your iPhone without buying an iPad first, and upgrade later if you want to.
You'll also get a Bonus Artist Package
The exact same brushes and resources I use for Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, and Sephora. Yours to keep forever.

Once you enroll, you immediately gain access to a set of 19 custom painting brushes that I made and regularly use for my work.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about this and other courses
No. These courses start from the beginning. If you can hold an Apple Pencil, you can follow along. The only requirement is Procreate installed on your iPad.
Any iPad released after 2018 will run Procreate perfectly!
Yes, Procreate works best with an Apple Pencil that supports pressure sensitivity (1st Gen, 2nd Gen, or Pro, not the basic USB-C model) to achieve variable line weight and opacity.
Depends on your pace. The videos total just over 4 hours, but most students spend 2-3x that actually drawing along. Lifetime access means no pressure. Finish in a month or spread it over a year.
Yes, but you'll want your iPad open to follow along. Most students watch the lesson on their iPad, then rewind and draw. Some use a second device to watch while drawing.
Post in the private Facebook group. I'm in there regularly, along with thousands of other students. You'll get answers within hours, not days.
No. This is a one-time purchase and it's yours forever.
Yes, I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, simply reach out within 30 days for a full refund. No questions asked.
