I’ve recently started using this app. I haven’t drawn since I was 14, and I’m now almost 33. The hardest thing is realising that I’m going to totally suck at this for a good while. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for a really great class. I've paid for 3 Procreate beginner classes online and none of them taught anything about how to get started, the different controls, how to set your pencil, nothing about learning how to get started. Although they were supposed to be beginner classes, that started right in as if the students knew all of that already. I love that you assumed a beginner wouldn't know any of that how to get started stuff and went over all of it so well. Thank you so so much!!!

Drawing digitally is a lot more difficult than I thought it’d be.. this is gonna take a lot of practice. But I’m ready

Blown away with this program. Purchased it last week after I bought my first iPad Air and watched one of your videos. Looking forward to drawing again after 30 years. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for this. Treated myself to Procreate and then sat staring at it like a prat because I didn’t have a clue how to use it. This video was a MASSIVE help!

Thank you for showing me the Apple Pencil pressure curves. I didn’t know that was an option.

Watching your videos is exactly like attending an exceptional art class-
I’ve learned more about how this app works in the last 15 minutes watching this than I have by using it for the last couple of months!
Thank you so much!

This video literally convinced me to buy an ipad pro just so I could use this app. I currently use a desktop with a cintiq and separate monitor for my work. I wanted to work on the go and tried a cintiq laptop thing and a surface Pro 4, both of which I *hated.* The menus and toolbars and color selectors took up the whole screen and I needed a keyboard separately just to use short cuts because so many commands took forever to select otherwise. And everything was tiny. The programs were just designed for a much bigger screen... Like my desktop set up. Plus, if you need to juggle a tablet, pen, and keyboard, its not very mobile or a nice user experience! This is so, so much better for the screen size.

This tutorial was fantastic!! After watching your video, I was able to “ get started” and had my first “ practice” drawing done in only a few min.! THANK YOU!

EXCELLENT James. Clearly explained and very well thought out. Thank you.

[craigbecker]

Wow. This is an exceptional tutorial. Covered a lot of features at a fast - but not too fast - pace. Thank you!

[angrybird]

New tutorial just in time! I’ve been drawing with Procreate for a couple weeks now and it’s been an enjoyable experience thus far.

[oldmanandthesea]

I like the way you organized and presented the essentials of the app. Great for beginners. Thanks.

Your Absolutely Fantastic as a teacher I've learned more from this short video than from many hours of others I've subscribed thank you.

There are so many features in procreate its definitely worth the money

[MrGreenRS]

Amazing thank you. I’m VERY new to iPad art but so glad I stumbled across this channel! You are an inspiration, your narration is a pleasure to listen to! 👍 Thanks again, Gary

[worldgonemad]

Just bought this app and was just lost since I’ve never used an art app. This vid is so helpful. I watched it through then went back, watched a bit, went onto the app to practice then went back to your vid until I got it. I can actually produce drawings now. Thank you!

[MrLittletube]

Just started digital drawing. I’ve always wanted to make art but it ends up shit. But with digital I can undo until the last time it looked good. This is one of the best channels I’ve discovered. Thank you sir.

[paintedmichael]

After watching hours of "tutorials" yours is the only one that made sence so thank you

Great video. It contains more information than many full courses.
