I’ve recently started using this app. I haven’t drawn since I was 14, and I’m now almost 33. The hardest thing is realising that I’m going to totally suck at this for a good while. Thanks for the help.
Well its never too late, so good luck with it
I'm in a similar position at 27!
I'm a 55 yr old fart an old man to you youngsters lol....let's go for it, the good thing is with age comes wisdom. Let's select are time carefully .
Age is just a number...... creating is fun. Go forth and fill that tablet with life !!
I'm 11... :) but I still know what you mean, though!
Drawing digitally is a lot more difficult than I thought it’d be.. this is gonna take a lot of practice. But I’m ready
Jeon Jungkook yeah, it’s not just clicking and BOOM masterpiece like a lot of people think. But it’s fun!
Guessing yr an army?
I just started drawing digitally and I really thought it would be as easy as drawing on paper... but it’s not :\
Jeon Jungkook I have practice but it is pretty hard and fun
Jeon Jungkook totally with you😉
Thank you for a really great class. I've paid for 3 Procreate beginner classes online and none of them taught anything about how to get started, the different controls, how to set your pencil, nothing about learning how to get started. Although they were supposed to be beginner classes, that started right in as if the students knew all of that already. I love that you assumed a beginner wouldn't know any of that how to get started stuff and went over all of it so well. Thank you so so much!!!
Paying for online classes isn't always the best idea to be honest.
You can find pretty much everything here on RUclips for free!
Thank you so much for this. Treated myself to Procreate and then sat staring at it like a prat because I didn’t have a clue how to use it. This video was a MASSIVE help!
I'm happy to have helped
I think so too!
Blown away with this program. Purchased it last week after I bought my first iPad Air and watched one of your videos. Looking forward to drawing again after 30 years. Keep up the great work.
It really is amazing, happy to have helped
Watching your videos is exactly like attending an exceptional art class-
I’ve learned more about how this app works in the last 15 minutes watching this than I have by using it for the last couple of months!
Thank you so much!
My pleasure 😊
This video literally convinced me to buy an ipad pro just so I could use this app. I currently use a desktop with a cintiq and separate monitor for my work. I wanted to work on the go and tried a cintiq laptop thing and a surface Pro 4, both of which I *hated.* The menus and toolbars and color selectors took up the whole screen and I needed a keyboard separately just to use short cuts because so many commands took forever to select otherwise. And everything was tiny. The programs were just designed for a much bigger screen... Like my desktop set up. Plus, if you need to juggle a tablet, pen, and keyboard, its not very mobile or a nice user experience! This is so, so much better for the screen size.
It's true, Procreate is so streamlined it's the perfect digital canvas
Procreate is also why I wanted an iPad! I just got my Apple Pencil too and I am so excited
@@expensivepink7 same hereeeee! I'm almost 12! wbu?!
Buy the IPad Air 4 instead. You can use the Apple Pencil 2nd generation and it’s 10” tool. Plus much cheaper than the pro.
Just started digital drawing. I’ve always wanted to make art but it ends up shit. But with digital I can undo until the last time it looked good. This is one of the best channels I’ve discovered. Thank you sir.
This tutorial was fantastic!! After watching your video, I was able to “ get started” and had my first “ practice” drawing done in only a few min.! THANK YOU!
Wasn’t here expecting laughs. But when he said “I’m gonna get bored before I run out of layer” had me in stitches.
I just got my Ipad Pro and I got procreate a week ago and I appreciate this walk through! I'm a traditional artists in oil painting and watercolors, but I have some neat ideas that would work digital for some future projects!
Just bought this app and was just lost since I’ve never used an art app. This vid is so helpful. I watched it through then went back, watched a bit, went onto the app to practice then went back to your vid until I got it. I can actually produce drawings now. Thank you!
happy to help
Thank you for showing me the Apple Pencil pressure curves. I didn’t know that was an option.
My pleasure. Yeah it makes a huge difference I think too

New tutorial just in time! I’ve been drawing with Procreate for a couple weeks now and it’s been an enjoyable experience thus far.
Glad to hear 😊
Can procreate be used on anytype of ipad? What is the best type of screen protector to use?
Paparazzi On Site
While Im pretty sure Procreate is available on any iPad, the Apple Pencil is only available for selected iPads. Apple Pencil Generation 1 is compatible with several different iPads from the iPad Gen 9 to iPad Air Gen 3. Generation 2 is only available on the 11” and 12” Pro. Hope this helped
@@luvi4091 Thank you so much! This helps!!
Just got my first iPad after pining over one for the past year. First thing I got was procreate (only app I have ever spent money on lol). As someone not new to drawing/painting or working digitally, this video is EXACTLY what I needed to get started. I feel very comfortable getting started on this new for me app now. Thank you for putting this together.
My pleasure :)
I like the way you organized and presented the essentials of the app. Great for beginners. Thanks.
Wow. This is an exceptional tutorial. Covered a lot of features at a fast - but not too fast - pace. Thank you!
EXCELLENT James. Clearly explained and very well thought out. Thank you.
After watching hours of "tutorials" yours is the only one that made sence so thank you
ah too kind thanks
Your Absolutely Fantastic as a teacher I've learned more from this short video than from many hours of others I've subscribed thank you.
Thank you! I didn’t know about pressure curve, and I always had trouble mimicking your strokes, you seemed to get lines when I didn’t, now I know why.
Haha hope it helps now
Oh my goodness. Your video is so incredibly helpful for a new procreate user like me. My sincere appreciation James!
Thank you, sir. Bought an iPad Air 3, Procreate, and an Apple pencil a couple of weeks ago. This is a HUGE help. I have no previous experience with this, or similar programs. Thank you for your time, I have subscribed, and will be watching your other videos. Greatly appreciated, sir.
Just got both my iPad and this app today. Thank you so much for the tour! Very informative and helpful. I'd be lost without finding it, and now I can't wait to get started.
I never actually knew the extent of usefulness that the toolkit of this app had to offer and this video gave the most perfect explanation. +1 Sub
Happy to have helped
Great video. It contains more information than many full courses.
Amazing thank you. I’m VERY new to iPad art but so glad I stumbled across this channel! You are an inspiration, your narration is a pleasure to listen to! 👍 Thanks again, Gary
I'm using PS on PC and Samsung Tab, but I still learning a lot from your tutorials about technique and styles etc. Thank you :3
Your channel is amazing. Just got an iPad mini to start learning procreate and your channel is all I need .
Thank you 🙏
Haven't used Procreate since long before there was an Apple Pencil and I just got a new Air and Pencil today. Thanks for the video.
Thank You James, I am a new owner of a 9.7 6th gen iPad and have downloaded Procreate. Your lesson was wonderful and will certainly get me going. I have subbed and look forward to your channel. Thank You
ah thanks :)
Now you’ve done it! I went a bought Procreate. Now I’m gonna have to learn to draw. Fine! ;-)
Haha good to hear
My word, same here! I never thought I'd be in this situation lol. I'm even buying the iPad too * _ *
Springdaisy glad to know I’m not the only one. I bought a 11in 64GB one. It’s all I could afford at the moment.
HaHaHa! First I bought Procreate on my Mini, then decided I needed the iPad Pro, now I should probably learn how to draw. ;-)
@@artboy990 same here and it's good enough!
Just starting with Procreate and found your video very informative at a slightly increased speed, which is refreshing.
ah happy to help
What a great instructor and artist!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Hands-down the best channel on RUclips! Thank you for your willingness to help beginners like myself. You Rock!! 👍👍
Ah thanks man for the continued encouragement 😊
This was the best tutorial on how to procreate, it really helped me to understand all the features and how things work, thank you.!
Been using procreate for years but missed the new features, thanks your video showed me them and it saves me so much time with text
I've always wanted to learn how to paint things, especially since I started doing some work in Photoshop. Your tutorials have really helped me. Thank you very much for doing this!
Cheers from Sweden!
Really happy to have helped, thank you 😊
Just bought procreate, and this video was just what i needed
Thank you!
Awesome guide, just got procreate so this helped quite a lot. Thank you!
Picking up my new iPad and apple pencil tonight, this was exactly what I needed!!
iPad Air4 amd Apple Pencil 2nd generation combo? They are great together!!! Bought them a few weeks ago.
I'm having a great time with it!! So much to learn
You explained it well. I tend not to look at longer videos, but this was with every minute. I'm a Photoshop/Lightroom user and I wanted to get into some digital art. I'm using an Ipad Air 2 with a Bamboo Sketch pencil. Not as good as an Ipad Pro with an Apple Pencil, but that may be something in the future. One trainer video said to try and draw every day to enhance your skills. So, that's when I'm trying to do. I'll check out more lessons on your channel. thx...
I haven’t drawn anything in like several months cause of my stupidness getting distracted by games. I’m gonna try and buy the app soon to get my creativity back up n running and this has helped a hecklot to get started, so thank ye for making this informative video!
welcome!
There are so many features in procreate its definitely worth the money
It’s amazing value when you consider the cosy of photoshop
Procreate is €10 upfront. Adobe software if like €50 a month. Procreate is fun, using a mouse is no fun.
I like these fast to the point tutorials. Thanks!
Happy to have helped
Okay you convinced me, I'm buying an iPad and downloading procreate 😂 I love all of your amazing tutorials and art work! You are awesome! Thank you 😊
Me: This should be easy!
Me again: can’t even draw a circle
Procreates automatic circle thing is crying in. The corner
*procreates automatic circle has left the chat*
Lmao seriously though
Did you even watch the video or other video
ha ha ha, you killed me. p.s - I'm sure you know how to draw a circle.
Wow this was so useful! Perfect introduction to this new tool! Now I’m excited to practice
I just got the screen protector and pen! My dad showed me how to do it and I did some crazy sick art!
Kermit the frog Plays royale high I like your singing!
Good for you m8. Keep honing your skills!
Very helpful! Thanks. I’ve just gotten started this week and I’m addicted!! Super useful and practical ❤️❤️
I recently got the procreate app and all your tutorials are helping a lot, many thanks!
Also something else that is making it easy is paperlike for the iPad, feels perfect!
Happy to have been a help
Just got the Apple pen and procreate, great video man thanks! perfect for someone the get started with this
My pleasure
The artwork shown in this tutorial reveals (what appears to be) a sizable knowledge of insect anatomy. It’s wonderfully imaginative. You’ve conquered the 3 mountains of artistic endeavor: Imagination, Draftsmanship and Medium. Well done, sir.
Big fan - you’re my favorite creative teacher. The only minor request I have is to somehow share brush size and opacity better during your tutorials. Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out what the brush looks like.
Thank you! All my newer tutorials do exactly that 😊
Exceedingly helpful. Well done and much appreciated
Excellent tutorial, best by far for beginners. Good pace, easy to listen to. Thank you 😎✌🏻
Happy to have helped
The quality of this Vid is much better than the other one, please keep this great vids up we love your channel
That was an extremely comprehensive introduction to the app. Enjoyed it very much and I must say it has persuaded me to go down the route of Procreate as opposed to Fresco. Looking forward to see what Ver 5 brings as there are a few good features I see in Fresco, not in Procreate e.g. masking and live brushes.
Looking forward too
Thank you for this, very clear and informative. Haven't drawn for years, but looking to get back into it with the help of ProCreate and iPad.
Your paintings are incredible!
Thank you 🙏
wow the first two points are SO helpful. I always wondered about the accidental marks from your hand but assumed the app probably didn't recognise it but I see now you have to manually edit the settings! actually I was watching another video of a girl drawing and she mentioned she gets random dots when she draws and maybe it's because she hasn't edited the settings! also the second point about the pressure sensor is also really useful! I've been hesitant about getting an ipad and pencil because of how the tip of the pencil wears off so your tip eases my worries. again thank you for these 2 tips, I've watched many tutorials now and you're the only one who has mentioned them and they seem pretty significant to know and save hassle:)
Yeah they made a big difference to me, glad to have helped
One advantage to keeping the finger drawing on is with shapes, it allows for the same line thickness all the way around with any brush you're using.
That is true
Really good Tutorial! Thanks James!
I’m finally transitioning from my Wacom over to Procreate. Thank you for the guide! I understand these things already for the most part, but it’s great to have guidance of WHERE the features are etc..
Digital drawings are actually so funnn
You are a life saver!! ♥️♥️ I was trying to work out why when I pressed down on my apple pen nothing was happening. Lucky you showed us the default setting omg
yeah it does make a big difference
Thank you so much for all the tutorials! I am a beginner with Procreate but I think I'm going to like it a lot. You've made getting started a lot less scary! Thanks again :)
Amazing intro to the interface, this is so useful, thank you very much!
My pleasure
Thank you for taking your time to make this video for all of us!
My pleasure
Thank you for this video. This will become my new hobby, once I‘ve learned the basics. this was helpful!
I'm new to digital art in general and Procreate in particular, so this is very useful - thanks.
Happy to have helped
A very well-structured tutorial. Just what I was looking for. Kudos!
Excellent video and now moving on to your longer one for Procreate 4. Are you considering a video on how to draw plants? That would be exceedingly helpful!
thanks so much all your info.very useful, now i need to do a lots of practice to learn all this endless tools of this application. Gracias again.
My pleasure
Really comprehensive tutorial for an absolute beginner like myself
Thank you James … this was very helpful 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My pleasure
James thank you so much for this video. I have just got my iPad pro 12:9 after a lot of research. I am a professional artist and have always used Photoshop. I know I can download an App to use Photoshop on my iPad but I am interested in using Procreate. So once again thank you. You now have a new subscriber.
Such a great beginners video. Thank you!
Happy to help
Your paintings are incredible...
i thought the title was about how to procrastinate
Yeah, didn't see video, will check it out later...
help no name lol
help no name same I was like I don’t need any help I’m a master as that already
Hilarious!
Yep I've been putting off learning this for ages..
I got myself the 1st Gen pencil and Procreate. This has been a great tutorial. Now I need someone to teach me how to draw :D
Thank so much for this video it’s my first iPad pro11 and using procreate my friends told me about it but I didn’t have no one to explain how to use it so thank for the great details of the video.
Omg this is amazing. So easy to follow along. I’ve got so many ideas and things I want to try as I “shelter in place’. Please take care of yourself.
Thank you for the wonderful introduction!
Thank you this was very helpful for me as a beginner!
Great video as usual thanks James. My iPad doesn't support apple pencil but when I tried the pencil at the apple store I noticed the pressure issue so that's gonna be a really helpful tip for when I buy a new iPad in August. I have a suggestion for a future video: May be you could do tutorials on ideas of how to utilize the cool new features in Procreate such as liquefy etc. in order to enhance the painting?
Thanks yeah I’ll give it some thought 😊
Brillant informative presentation for beginners like me. Thank you!!
I will never get tired of you, thank you so much1
I just bought this app on my iPad Air 3 that I had purchased yesterday and I’m still learning how to use this app.. so this video somewhat helps, thanks!
Many thanks for tutorial. I followed along and switched into Procreate at various stages and I am very impressed. The only problem I had was the disable touch actions. This stopped my Vidence stylus from drawing lines!!!
I have returned the stylus and bought one that supports palm rejection. All good now.
I'm not new to Procreate. Your video helped anyway. Thank you. Good job.
Happy to help
I’m not gonna get a iPad Pro, but I am getting an Apple Pencil! I’m so excited! But it’s quite expensive, so I’m going to buy a different stylus while I’m saving up for the Apple Pencil ✏️ (I’m getting the iPad 6th generation)
Same!!
If you can, get the 3rd gen ipad air instead of the 6th gen ipad.
Random RUclips Watcher she’s still a kid you donkey cheek sandwich. Just because you have the privilege to spend money on whatever you want, doesn’t mean that everyone else has that same privilege regardless of whether they have a job or not. Now go rot in a ziplock bag
Random RUclips Watcher I am I kid, I'm only 13. Thanks Keviniiiiii for defending me. Also I'm a girl, not a ”he”
@Random RUclips Watcher tell it to the judge.
Thank you so much you have answered a lot of my questions. Having said that I know there will be more
Very well done video, very clear instructions.
This is a brilliant introduction. Thank you so much.
Well done! I'm getting an ipad this weekend, bro! Thanx for the tips, and keep up the good work♡
I just got everything yesterday..This really helped, thank you,😊
Very informative, I just got my Ipad Pro in the mail today, Thank you!
thank you so much for your help! i am so pumped to get started!!
My pleasure
This was AMAZING! Thank you! I am picking up my ipad pro at 10, and specifically bought it just for procreate!!!!
hope you enjoy
