‍

Procreate Tropical Pattern Mastery

Freya has been creating different patterns for different brands throughout the years, and in this course, she will teach you how you can do it too! You’ll learn how to create your own original, seamless patterns you can put on anything you want like clothes, home decor, wallpaper, or stationery.

‍

Wild Flowers in Procreate

If you love drawing flowers, this course is the one for you. In this course, Freya will teach you how to draw flowers realistically, and not the generic flower we learned how to draw in kindergarten.

Wild Flowers in Procreate will teach you all the things you need to know about a flower to be able to draw them just like how you see them.

It helps you understand exactly what you’re looking at by looking at the different parts of the flower and the different styles it comes in, and how you can replicate it in your drawing. This will serve as a strong foundation so that the next time you see an unfamiliar flower, you might not know its name but you’ll be able to draw it well.

You can now recreate traditional-looking artwork without having to buy different tools and a thousand paint colors. With your iPad, Apple Pencil, and the right Procreate brush, you won’t have to go back to paper.

Freya has 4 different Procreate brushes that mimic traditional paint, and they include exercises to teach you how to use them and add-on mini-courses if you want to take it to the next level.
