Learn to draw without fear - let's draw patterns in Procreate using simple lines and shapes!

This class will guide you through the process of drawing patterns in Procreate, from practicing drawing all kinds of lines and shapes, to assembling and manipulating these elements to form patterns in four different ways. By using Procreate as the tool and medium, you can experience an intuitive way to draw digitally while not worrying about making mistakes, because they can be easily fixed in Procreate.

You will learn:

Procreate basics,
How to draw different kinds of lines, shapes, and the combination of the two,
How to use guides in Procreate to draw patterns,
How to be organized when making art, and
How to assess your work along the way.

The class is for those who are complete beginners in art making or digital art making. It is also for those who need to reboot their creativity after putting aside their creative practice for a long time.

I created this class aiming to help you break through your psychological barrier to creating art by starting with something simple and slowly progressing through till you make your end product. It’s so easy to follow that everyone can try, regardless of you having an art background or not. It will help unlock your creativity, build up your confidence, and take the first step in finding your style.

Please note this class is not about making a repeat pattern in Procreate. It is simply about arranging lines and shapes in certain ways to create patterns. It would however form a good foundation for pattern design before you move on to making technical repeats.

What you will need:

an iPad,
an Apple Pencil,
the Procreate app, or
pen and paper if you prefer to work non-digitally.

A list of class resources is attached in the Projects & Resource Tab.

See you in class!
