MAKE ART EVERYDAY // I believe that creativity can make a profound impact on people’s lives, no matter their skill level. If I could offer one piece of advice about establishing a daily art-making habit, it would be to make it as easy as possible for you to create. Make your tools accessible, and remove any barriers that might stop you from doing it. With the iPad and Procreate, you have hundreds of tools and every color imaginable at your disposal. Make art anytime, anywhere.

[sharlopezr]

I don’t think it’s normal how happy this video made me feel after trying them 🥺

My eyes:I got it.
My hand:I can't.

That was so good!! Best tutorial I've seen on the new ProCreate GIF feature. Thank you Lisa!

You are such a wonderful teacher. I watched your basic procreate video with my 7-y-o granddaughter last night, and she spent the rest of the evening using the nifty symmetry thing to draw images, then taught her mother the technique. (Also reminded her granny how to do it, when granny forgot a step. Ahem.)

Love the new Procreate update that allow you now to export the animation directly in video format! Saving so much time!

I just recently went through a breakup and decided to get back into art again. I really enjoy these videos and while I had experience with procreate before, Im really enjoying using it with my ipad I bought last year but never really used. Thank you for your help getting back into procreate! I love how your videos are positive and how engaged your voice is in them!

[SashaRaquel]

[papachulo]

i’m a beginner at this Procreate thing and your videos are, by far, the most informative and fun of all the tutorials. thanks for making everything so easy to follow along! so excited to continue my journey with your vids!

[jerichovargas]

Been finding a digital art tutor in YouTube and I think your channel is the best. Greetings from the Philippines!!

[keirahaddow]

There’s also a easier way if you go into the little wrench simble thing and go to canvas and turn on animation assist - it will let you play the animation whenever and change the frames while your drawing it instead of when you sending it!

[arose]

So I wish you narrated every tutorial on Youtube. You are thorough and easy to follow. Your style takes it to the next level, A+! Thank you!
