With over 20 hours of in-depth video content, the Procreate Portrait Academy is on average 7 TIMES longer than most of the other courses. To achieve that, we will not only deep-dive into details like which brushes to use and when, you’ll also master various portrait techniques, understand the principles of shading and light and get to know the Procreate app. You’ll not only learn how to follow the tutorial, but also unlock a whole new way of getting the image you see in your head onto a piece of paper … or rather your iPad’s screen. We’ll start slowly with the basics and move onto more complex principles. It doesn't matter if you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned illustrator. Fancy a day at the park? Bring your iPad and squeeze in some painting. Time spent commuting on public transport could instead be spent working on your art. ‍ With no painting accessories, no computer, no separate drawing pad and no scanner, you can work anywhere you want to. Since I started using Procreate, all I need is my iPad and an Apple Pencil. ‍ When I did my paintings and illustrations by hand, I always had to have a dedicated working space large enough to take up half of my room. In Procreate, everything is just a few clicks away. So every once in a while, you have to splurge out another couple $100 just to be able to paint again. ‍ And what’s even worse … brushes get worn-out and watercolors don’t come in endless supplies.

Add a high-detail scanner and a quality computer with software capable of precisely die cutting your “analog” work … And before you know it, you’ve spent way over $1000 before you even started painting. A set of decent brushes, watercolors, and some quality paper can set you back $200 or even more.
