Beginner's Guide to Digital Painting in Procreate: How to Create Art on an iPad®

This is an organized and structured book that explains everything about Procreate.It acts as both a master guide for learning and a quick reference for when I forget what a certain function does. Each explanation is accompanied by illustrations that show how it looks.Starts with foundational knowledge and ends with workflow and projects. The projects section is useful and includes additional useful tips, reminders, alternative use cases, etc.

I’m just learning Procreate and I’ve been taking an online class. This book has been great and very helpful for quick reminders and where to find things. Easily laid out and easy to understand. I’m in my mid 60’s so computer online stuff doesn’t come as easy as it does for the younger generation that has grown up with it.

Dang it. I thought this book was gonna be a show ‘n tell for me and the Mrs. to make a baby. The last book I bought didn’t work out. It had clear photos, but then I realized I was holding the book upside down. And no babies were comin’! Now I see this is actually a beginnier’s guide to digital painting. At least now I’m learning where to point my brush. Until the little Billy Bob Jessie comes along, I think I’m going to enjoy this!

Very technical

First of all, let me state that I’m NOT an artist so attempting digital art was certainly going to be a major challenge for me. I can’t sketch, draw or paint with traditional methods so, learning Procreate was ambitious. My goal is to create personalized cartoon spiral notebooks, and other items for my grandson, and beautiful greeting cards. I read up on and purchased the Procreate App and went to You Tube for guidance. Although I was unable to recreate what the you tuber did, I realized that if I had an easy step by step beginner’s book I probably could create some very elementary items for my grandsons. Well, drumrolls please... I can do quite a bit more. In the first 49 pages, I followed all of the practice exercises and had no difficulty navigating the tools after trial and error. I didn’t time myself but I believe the 49 pages took me maybe 2 hours to complete and understand the lessons. With the building blocks I learned in the first 49 pages, I went back to You Tube and understood everything the You Tuber demonstrated.Now that I understand the basic building blocks, there is still a great deal more to learn and I will continue practicing. I’m very encouraged and excited about the creativity I will now be able to use with greeting cards I make for my family and friends and crafting projects for my grandsons.

This is a nice size book with nice thick perfect paper, like a coffee table book. Photos are gorgeous. I have been using Procreate for some time now so am not a beginner but the members of my Procreate group on Facebook were raving about it, so i had to get one. I was tempted to skip over the first chapter or so assuming i knew it all already but it was late and i was tired so went ahead and read it. I did learn some things i didn't know. The pace of the book is pretty rapid, so if you are not a "good learner" it might be a little fast but I think Procreate did just a good job of placing menu items, you probably will be fine. For a more experienced user, the style of the book involves lots of projects which look like fun. It is photo intensive which is surprising as that definitely makes a more expensive book. This book along with Youtube tutorials, the Procreate manual online, and Udemy courses should make you a master in no time.

This book is good as a basic to understanding overall how to work in Procreate. But in details, it's confusing. It says there's a link to download resources to follow along. But, the pages only say "experiment using an image from the downloadable resources". And the link is a general list of time-lapses, images, and brushes. It doesn't say "download ___ image/brush for this project". It's very "here's a list, figure it out." Very confusing and messy.And I've sent months confused on HOW to download/import/export on or for Procreate. "Download this image/brush". Ok how?? What do I tap?This book is titled "beginner's guide" but how do I follow along to a guide where it doesn't even show how to use its resources??

A beautiful book!! Order this book. The craftsmanship is amazing. The book is well put together and the colored illustrations are amazing.

Amo este libro. Tened muy en cuenta antes de comprarlo que está en inglés. Es un inglés bastante entendible, pero es necesario tener, al menos, unos conocimientos básicos del idioma.Las imágenes son preciosas y en alta resolución y te explican paso a paso cómo usar Procreate, de lo más sencillo a lo más complejo. Está súper bien, y además puedes realizar algunos de los proyectos de tus artistas favoritos, pues los explican paso a paso.

Muito legal

Good book and love it
