Procreate gives you the opportunity to take your art studio anywhere and hold the power of creativity in the palm of your hands. In this 7-course Domestika Basics, you’ll learn all the tools and features the app has to offer, along with how to use them to unlock infinite design possibilities.

Brad Woodard is an illustrator, graphic designer, and co-founder of the creative agency Brave the Woods. He uses Procreate to design bold, colorful branding and commercial illustrations for clients including USPS, Ford, Penguin Random House, eBay, and Microsoft.

Customize the app to work for you. Experiment with things like toolbars and touch screen gestures to optimize your workflow.

Time to start illustrating! Brad demonstrates how to create, smudge, and erase marks before exploring Procreate’s extensive brush library and how to use it to create professional-looking images.

Explore the use of layers. Discover how to work with and edit them to add interest and dimension to your illustrations.

Use the Select and Transformation Tools to edit specific parts of your art. Then play around with moving and stretching your image for added interest.

Explore the different options for adjusting your artwork with color, opacity, and blurring techniques, and learn to use the Liquify and Clone Tools.
