With an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and the Procreate app, you’ll create a stunning watercolor geode. After adding a beautiful song lyric or quote, you’ll be able to send these as digital gifts to family and friends. Or, download to your favorite photo printing site to showcase your original art in your home.

How to set up your canvas with different layers.
How to use finger gestures to make your workflow.
How to use the pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil with your brushes.

Updated for the new Procreate Brush Library:

Procreate recently rolled out its new brush library, which means any custom brush sets included in this class will now import into the Classic Library by default. If you want these brushes to live in the new library, just open the new Procreate Brush Library panel first, then import the set again. Procreate will drop them right into whichever library you currently have open.

If you run into any brush hiccups, I’m here to help you get sorted.

If you’re a beginner, you’ll be able to master these skills by the end of this easy class. You’ll walk away with a knowledge of how Procreate works, and gain some pro tips on cutting from different layers to add shimmer to your art!

Post your project in the “Create Project” section! A screenshot works best when uploading your cover image. Then you can add a larger image/images below your project title. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I've also included a list of links I mention in this tutorial:
