First steps in digital art with Procreate: For young artists
by Freya Kotchakorn
10 minutes a day is all it takes for your child to create art that makes them smile, even if itâs their very first drawing.
Most kids naturally reach for games and videos when they pick up an iPad. It's just easier and more immediately rewarding.Â
But you've probably wondered if some of that time could spark their creativity instead.
Maybe you've heard about Procreate - that amazing digital art app that could turn screen time into something genuinely productive. You might have even downloaded it, hoping your child would discover a new creative outlet.
But here's the thing - Procreate can feel overwhelming for anyone, especially kids. All those buttons, tools, and blank canvases can actually discourage them from even trying.
That's about to change.
â
Imagine this...
Your child running up to you, iPad in hand, eyes glowing, and saying âLook what I made!â
They canât wait to show you the happy squid they just drew ⌠or the silly fruit characters ⌠or the birthday card they made for grandma.
That proud smile when they realize they can actually make real art ⌠that's what this course is all about.
"I really like the fact that now I'm learning procreate together with going through the basic principles of drawing and coloring techniques, especially that in the past, I've always found so difficult to grasp. The thing is that with Freya's course finally makes sense, and it's almost easy. That's because she takes you step by step from a completely white canvas to a finished artwork."

"I'm thrilled to share my latest artwork, "Lavender Rose" â A Bloom in Shades of Tranquil Lavender. Thanks to Freya's Masterclass, my approach to digital art has been completely transformed. The course was exceptionally thorough, covering everything from the fundamentals to advanced techniques, which helped me greatly improve my creative skills. The step-by-step guidance simplified complex concepts, allowing me to apply my new skills immediately. This comprehensive course was a game-changer, empowering me to take my artwork to the next level."
"I completed Freya's procreate masterclass. I learned so much in this class. I already have a background in art as an acrylic painter, but I did not know how to use digital apps to create art and I feel very confident in my digital art skills. I also really enjoyed the community of support on Facebook. I felt like the other people taking the course were so supportive and everybody encouraged each other, would comment on each other's work and give tips on how to improve."
"I am a former classroom art teacher based in the USA, and I wanted to bring digital art into my lessons. Since my training was mainly in traditional mediums, I realized I needed to learn Procreate. After researching my options, I decided on Freya's masterclass, and it exceeded my expectations! The content and techniques she shares are fantastic. I learned so much more than I anticipated and have now developed a passion for Procreate and digital art that I really believe I wouldnât have found without her guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend any of Freya's courses; youâll gain the skills to feel accomplished in the coursework as well as the confidence to create your own art independently!"
"What I like about Freya's techniques and her style, she's very patient. Her attention to details, explanation, and above the encouragement, she tells you, just keep on going. You've got this. It's like the coach is right there over your shoulder telling you, keep going. Don't give up any advice for potential students. Try the classes. You'll be amazed at how fast you'll be doing more professional art than you ever thought possible."

"Hello everyone, I completed my first project and I'm pleased with the outcome. I've been painting in oil for ten years in my free time and now want to learn digital art. Prior to the masterclass, I began learning Procreate through YouTube tutorials. Then about a month ago, I discovered Freya's masterclass and I'm overjoyed because after the lessen 35, I chose to do this reference photo to see how I developed, and I realised that I can do numerous works confidently."

"I was amazed by the patience, the ability, the skill that Freya has, the way she has of drawing. I know that this is maybe the most important thing to learn in order to produce really good quality paintings, both digital or traditional. And so I only say that I recommend Freya's courses to everyone who's interested in learning this wonderful product."

"My nameâs Marcus, and Iâm an art teacher living in Suzhou, China. Iâve been using Procreate for about 4 years now, and I love working on my iPad. I took Freyaâs digital masterclass, and first posted on her group on the 28th October 2023 and since then itâs been amazing. The course is so well-designedâreally easy to follow for beginners and also great if youâve got some experience and want to improve. Iâve learned so many useful tips and techniques, and Iâve seen real progress in my own work, like my latest dragonfly drawing, La Fay. Plus, the supportive Facebook community makes it even better. Everyoneâs so encouraging, and Freyaâs super responsive. Honestly, if you want to level up your skills, this is the perfect course!"

"I found Freya on Facebook through her Procreate Beauty LAB Digital Makeup Class. I loved what I learned so much I decided to take the Master Class. Iâm learning so much with Procreate and how to improve my digital art. I love her brushes as well as her color palettes. Her techniques are amazing.
My name is Denise Stanley Iâm a retired salon owner, am 64 years old and live in southwest Missouri. Iâve only been using procreate for about 2-3 years and mostly self taught. I really started drawing a lot when I developed a dizziness in my eyes that had no relief from the doctors, but I found the only thing that did help was to focus on my art, I call it my dizzy art. Finding Freya has improved my abilities greatly and enhanced my life. This piece I call the guiding light."

Thank you so much or the course that you have created! Iâve been meaning to create a self portrait with my cat Oreo for so long but was slightly hesitant as I was very new to Procreate! Your basic classes have pushed me and helped me achieve what was only in my imagination. Canât wait to complete the course and create many more.

I've been creating and teaching digital art for 20+ years and worked with brands like Sephora, Piaget, and Tiffany & Co.
But here's what I didn't know: how to teach children.
When parents started asking about courses for their kids, I realized my adult teaching methods wouldn't work.Â
Through conversations with families and lots of trial and error, I learned that children need their own approach entirely.Â
So I spent months creating my first course designed specifically for young artists, using the same professional techniques I've developed over decades, just broken down into simple, confidence-building projects.
This course is what happens when you take 20+ years of adult teaching experience and completely rethink it for kids.
You know what's amazing about kids? When they like something, they can focus really well. The trick is giving them projects that feel doable and fun right from the start.
I designed these lessons for kids who like to move between different activities. They're short and exciting, with lots of visual action and quick results.Â
No sitting still for half an hour listening to boring explanations. Your kid makes something cute right away, which makes them want to see what comes next.
After they learn these basics, they can make anything they can think of. The really cool part happens when they realize they can use these same tools to make their own ideas come to life.
Every project teaches important skills while keeping the fun part first, so your child learns how to use the tools and feels confident about making art.
â
I made sure to explain everything in simple words and show each step clearly, so your kids can follow along on their own.
But many parents discover these lessons are actually really enjoyable to do together!Â
There's something wonderful about watching your child's creativity unfold, and lots of families end up making it a regular bonding activity where everyone gets excited about the next project.
The course adapts to however your little one likes to learn. Some kids love the independence of creating on their own, while others thrive with a parent cheering them on or creating alongside them.
Both ways work beautifully - it's all about what feels right for your child and your family.
Traditional art supplies are irreplaceable - the texture of paper, the unpredictability of paint, the permanence that teaches patience.
Thatâs why, this course isn't meant to replace crayons, markers, or paint - it's designed to work alongside them and make traditional art even more fun.
Digital art is a powerful starting point because kids can experiment without fear. It's like giving them a practice space where they can figure out what they want to make, then create it however they want.
â
â Try a color and hate it? Change it instantly
â Want to add polka dots to everything? There's a stamp for that
â Made a "mistake"? Undo and try again without starting over
â
Once your child creates something digitally, they can print it and continue with crayons, markers, or paint. They can trace it, color over it, or use it as inspiration for entirely new traditional artwork.Â
Plus, let's be honest - building a collection of art supplies that includes dozens of colors, different brushes, paper or canvas, can easily cost $400 or more.Â
This course gives your child access to unlimited colors, brushes, and creative tools for a fraction of that cost, while still encouraging them to pick up those physical art supplies too.
Over the course of my professional career, Iâve realized over and over again that the saying âpractice makes perfectâ couldnât be more true. Imagine learning to swim ⌠in your living room. Once you hit the water, youâd probably drown within minutes.
â
And since painting of any kind demands certain training of your muscle memory to master the various painting techniques, one thing is more than obvious: more practice equals faster improvement. Thereâs also no better way to really grasp the theory and put your new-found knowledge to use than actually drawing.
â
Thatâs why I added 37 practical exercises throughout the course of this Masterclass that demand utilizing everything youâve learned so far. And hey, besides the 37 opportunities to hone your skills, you also get 37 pieces of your own original artwork, which you can showcase in your portfolio before even starting your digital painting adventure.

Every artist once started as an apprentice learning the tools of the trade, so thatâs where youâll start, too. This less is a brief, but in-depth look at some of the most important tools in the Procreate program. By the time youâve finished Module 2 and 3, youâll understand how to open a new file, how to get around the workspace, what brushes to use and when to use them, the easy way to create basic shapes, how to pick, blend, and erase, how to use layers to create depth in your work⌠and much more.
Hereâs where everything starts coming together. The 7 video lessons in this module will have you drawing gorgeous, lifelike fruits - just like a master artist. Can you imagine drawing an apple, strawberry, or cherry so realistic people wonât believe itâs not a photograph? Get ready to prove them wrong, because youâll want to show these off as soon as theyâre done!
Showing off the fruits of your labor (pun intended) will get you inspired to learn even more⌠Which is perfect because youâll really pick up steam as you work your way through Module 4. There are a total of 8 video lessons - each one designed to have you drawing a different realistic flower or leaf.
By the time you get to this point, youâve come very far⌠but thereâs still so much more Procreate has to offer. In this module, youâll learn to make your work even more polished with intermediate tools and techniques like liquefy, sharpen, curves, and even animation!
Here, youâll gain a deeper understanding of how much you can accomplish with just one tool: the brush. All good painters need to have a masterâs touch with their brushes - and that includes digital painters, so thatâs what youâll get with Module 7!
With the 7 video lessons in this module, you'll unlock even more potential with new Procreate features and filters. After youâve completed this module, itâll be even easier to take art from your imagination and apply it perfectly to the page.

Getting models that work with Procreate out of the box is quite tricky as the feature is so new. As demonstrated in the video below, the UV mapping of the models you can buy and download on the 3D model libraries online is not configured to be Procreate compatible in most cases. You'll sometimes encounter difficulties such as incomplete color fills, messy lines etc. while using any of the Procreate painting tools.
â
5 Models are included in the course, and on the checkout you have an option to add 25 Fashion & Clothing 3D models for free to your order. These models are specially optimized for seamless use in Procreate, so you'll be able to paint models that will look as realistic as possible. Commercial license is included, so you can use the model freely in any commercial projects, too. See model previews below.
