Pocket Beginner for Procreate
by Freya Kotchakorn
Do you want to start dabbling in digital illustration or have kids that need a new creative outlet? Want to do a little painting in your off time, but don’t have the iPad by your side? All you need is an iPhone and a finger!
Up for a quick drawing session while you’re waiting at the doctor’s office or riding the bus? Stop scrolling your socials and be creative instead. The only thing you need is your iPhone.
This 5-hour course will teach you all you need to know to start painting digital paintings like the ones you see below.
Even though we’ll paint in a simplified version of Procreate, the course is in no way any less interesting and fun to do. If anything, it allows for more fun, as you don’t need to be a seasoned artist to be able to paint stunning digital paintings.
Throughout the testing phase of this course, I’ve learned that kids of all ages just love it. And that’s not even that strange if you really think about it. Kids love to be creative and they love to use their hands and fingers.
In this day and age, unfortunately, a vast majority of kids and teenagers spend a lot of their free time on mobile devices. Their use and obsession with social media and mobile games is increasing as we speak.
So, if you could replace some of their time spent on Instagram, TikTok, or various mobile games with an activity that stimulate their creative growth AND is attractive enough they’ll actually want to do it on their own, that’s not a bad move!
A huge advantage of this course is the fact that it’s all done on an iPhone. They don’t even need to change the device, just switch the app and they’re ready to go!
I’ve heard from multiple parents since launching the testing phase for this Procreate Pocket drawing course. According to their testimonials, their kids and teenagers absolutely love the content.
And I totally get it.
Once a young mind sees that they’re actually able to paint amazing digital paintings on their own, it can get addicitve … but it’s the best kind of addiction as it actually helps them develop their creative thinking and problem-solving!
It's also a great way for you and your little ones to engage in a fun family activity that benefits everyone!
If you’re a digital artist and if you’re like me, you love to always be able to scribble. You never know, when the inspiration is going to strike. You can be stuck on public transport, waiting at the reception of your physician’s office or just chilling in your local park.
No need to bring a pad and drawing supplies - your iPhone and a finger are just enough. Use a stylus and the possibilities are endless! Countless brushes and textures and the ability to work fast in Procreate make this a perfect sketch pad that’s always in your pocket and ready to go even when your iPad is not around!
Start a project that you can finish at home or in your studio or just scribble whenever you feel like it!
Procreate Pocket drawing course is a perfect and most affordable way to start doing digital illustration. It’s a great opportunity to avoid overpaying for equipment if the excitement for digital drawing doesn’t stick. However, it’s still advanced enough for you or your little ones to build some solid digital painting foundations!
The app has similar tools and features to the “real” Procreate and you can make jaw-dropping and professional-looking illustrations right there on your iPhone without having to buy the iPad!
It’s a great way to double-check whether you’ll like paiting digitally. If you want to pursue it further, you can always upgrade!
Despite being my most affordable course that’s also suitable for kids 7-14 years old, it is in no way to be taken as a joke!
It follows the same structured approach all my other courses are following and I’ve spent a lot of time planning how to squeeze it all into a user-friendly (an iPhone-friendly) package.
There’s 5 hours of premium video lectures split into 6 modules with 25 captivating lessons. After getting to know all the necessary tools and techniques, you’ll be able to put them to use in 10 fun exercises that really help you learn how to do it on your own.
Feel free to watch the sample lessons below to get a feeling of what the course is all about!
While all of the exercises in Procreate Pocket Beginner course could be done with just the iPhone and your finger, I recommend using a stylus of your choice in about half of them.
It just gives you much more control and accuracy that’s really welcome when you paint on a smaller screen.
Luckily, I recently created my own model together with the Optishield® brand that my students absolutely love. I tested over 10 different models from manufacturers and settled on the best quality one, so I made the selection for you! (the differences in sensitivity are huge!). The set includes a replacement nib, tip, and practical leather holder.
You can easily select one of the 3 available colors at checkout and get it 10% cheaper with the course!

Every artist once started as an apprentice learning the tools of the trade, so that’s where you’ll 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 you’ve finished Module 2 and 3, you’ll 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.
Here’s 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 won’t believe it’s not a photograph? Get ready to prove them wrong, because you’ll want to show these off as soon as they’re done!
Showing off the fruits of your labor (pun intended) will get you inspired to learn even more… Which is perfect because you’ll 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, you’ve come very far… but there’s still so much more Procreate has to offer. In this module, you’ll learn to make your work even more polished with intermediate tools and techniques like liquefy, sharpen, curves, and even animation!
Here, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how much you can accomplish with just one tool: the brush. All good painters need to have a master’s touch with their brushes - and that includes digital painters, so that’s what you’ll 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 you’ve completed this module, it’ll 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.
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.
