Getting Started with Procreate


We will cover the essential foundations of Procreate. You will learn how to install and configure the application, organize your project gallery, and create documents optimized for your objectives. Additionally, you will learn to select appropriate color profiles, set DPI for print or digital use, and understand the limitations of canvas size and layers, allowing you to plan your work professionally from the start.

Navigating the Workspace

We will explore the interface and user experience in depth. You will take a detailed tour of the workspace, learn essential gestures and shortcuts (undo, copy, QuickMenu, Companion), and customize the app to suit your workflow. You will also adjust pressure sensitivity, stroke response, interface settings, and preferences to optimize performance and ensure an efficient creative process.

Control Panel

This module explores Procreate’s central management panel. You will learn to add graphic and typographic elements, configure drawing guides, manage files (size, available layers, resolution), and share your work in different formats. Additionally, you will learn to create and organize advanced color palettes, capture colors from images, and use time-lapse features to maintain an optimized and professional workflow.

Advanced Editing and Adjustments

This module allows you to master advanced editing and adjustment tools. You will discover essential functions such as Liquify, Clone, Gradient Maps, and image filters, learning how to apply them globally or selectively. You will understand the difference between layer filters and pencil-applied filters and explore key utilities such as the reference viewer and animation assist to efficiently plan and control your projects.

Layers control and Organization in Procreate

We will explore one of the core elements of digital work: layers. You will learn to organize your projects using blending modes, opacity, masks, and reference layers. You will see how to leverage these features to refine sketches, separate elements, apply localized effects, and maintain full control over every part of your illustration, ensuring professional and flexible results.

Selections and Transformation Tools

This module covers advanced selection and transformation techniques for complete control over project elements. You will master automatic and manual selection modes, use advanced options such as feather, expand, and invert, and work with the transform tool to move, scale, and distort elements precisely. You will also explore features such as snapping, magnetics, interpolation, and advanced warp deformation, essential for creating precise and professional compositions.

Brushes and building your own Library

We will dive into brush creation and customization through the Brush Studio. You will analyze parameters such as shape, grain, rendering, dynamics, wet mix, and properties settings. You will learn to develop your own brushes and configure personalized libraries, enhancing your creative capabilities in Procreate with a professional and strategic approach.

Exporting with Professional Standards

You will learn to export your projects in formats suitable for any use: social media, professional print, animation, or integration with other software. This module also covers managing embedded color profiles, optimizing file size and quality, and configuring time-lapse recordings, ensuring outputs that are fully professional and ready for any application.
