I watched 6 hours of tutorials yesterday after getting the app. Each one was yes kinda helpful but it was like a college teacher was teacher Albert Einstein. This was amazing to say the least! No unnecessary info but at the same time enough detail to get someone started. Thank you! Wish I saw this earlier

Feel bad for the comments saying they dont have procreate or an ipad bc i just got both and i remember all the years i was dying to get an ipad and never did. I hope for everyone who relates to this you will get all of it soon

[rubenesquivel]

So I’m a traditional artist and I’m just getting into digital art media. I’ve been drawing old school FOR YEARS! I just can’t keep up with the digital stuff no more and I’ve made the move to start. This was some of the most informative and easy introduction to procreate I’ve seen. I Just want to thank you and I hope to learn more as I expand my art abilities and knowledge.

Very Chill. This video should auto-play after you install Procreate.

This was the first video I clicked on and I expected that I’d have to watch 10 more before I felt ready to use Procreate, but now I feel like I’m set to start :D Thanks!

As a traditional artist, The thought that you can use the clipping mask to just paint on specific places are just crazy to me!

[magicalfetus]

I got procreate yesterday and had no idea what I was doing/how to do anything. I tried watching all these tutorials but none of them helped and I just got even more confused—This really helped me understand how it worked a lot. Thank you for making this!

[jamesthrift]

I am terrible with technology and my wife got us an iPad and this Procreate program. Very overwhelming for me. This video was incredibly helpful! Thankyou! I actually took notes.

[gemtvdraw]

It is better to hear the voice explanation. Thank you ! I'm your fan!

[boramesutpalas]

this vid should be awarded by Youtube for Best Tutorial. 10 mins, clean, right to the point and as detailed as possible. nothing else. cheers dawg!

[NemizaGoddess]

This is one of the best beginner tutorials I've seen so far. It covered everything important quickly and efficiently. I find that a lot of "beginner" tutorials tend to venture into covering more advanced stuff, or covering a single feature longer than needed, or sometimes, you'll come across someone saying "I haven't figured out this feature yet, but you can play around with it yourself" (this baffles me the most lol).

Anyway, thank you so much for making this video.

[tirilu]

That was super helpful for a total beginner like me. It was detailed but not overwhelming. Thank you!!

[sassysup]

It deserves millions of likes...short n simple tutorial but covering all imp steps!!👍🏻😊

[paulinamadrawska]

That was the most informative vid on procreate I’ve seen to date. I checked out so many and most of them are so confusing they left me overwhelmed. This made procreate seem like such fun! Great job on explaining everything!

[catsoftware]

Got procreate for Christmas and I was confused on many things. I searched up tutorials and found yours. Thanks for all the help!

[sammyjo]

My BF just got me an iPad so I could use procreate and it was so tough getting used to it on my own. I could give you the biggest hug right now!!!!

[wileycom]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, calm, clear, concise voice of a learned human being who has compassion for those of us who are Procreate challenged!
