The later projects are more art based and look in detail at how the author uses Procreate to make her highly commercial art.By the end of this book, you will be creating digital illustrations that will feel as natural and intuitive as drawing with pencil and paper.

Procreate is my small-but-mighty friend! It's a powerful tool for creative people, condensed down to the size of a slim notebook. The interface is simple to use. However, behind every light tap or swipe of the screen is a vast library of resources designed to help you make art intuitively.I bought my first iPad Pro nearly six years ago. The single reason for the purchase was to download and install Procreate, a program I'd just started hearing about and was desperate to try for myself. I distinctly remember using it for the first time to draw a snowman, and how I wowed my handful of Instagram followers with the resulting Time-lapse video showing the process! Since then, I have used Procreate consistently for both personal, fun work and for professional design and illustration jobs. That's why I call it my friend! It's an app that is reliable, complex but easy to understand, travels by your side with the minimum of fuss, and helps you solve problems by constantly providing simple solutions.INSPIRATION AND PLAY!In this book, I would like to introduce you to the way I make my art and illustration using Procreate. It's a "how-to" book, but it's also a "how you might want to" guide. By this, I mean to say, feel free to follow the steps included within these pages, but I encourage you to experiment and explore other ways of working with the app.What this book is not, is a technical book. I'm a creative person - I often work spontaneously, without much of a plan. I use Procreate to help me create both impulsive, quick sketches, and also complex, meandering illustrations with many elements and layers. In short, I use it to solve problems in my work.With this in mind, I would like to pass on to you not a heavy technical manual, but rather, an inspirational workbook that encourages you to play, make mistakes and seek out your own way of using the app.
