In this class, you’ll learn how to digitize your traditional illustrations using Procreate and turn them into clean, reusable assets you can use for patterns, products, social media, or any creative project.

We’ll go through a simple, practical process to clean up your artwork, adjust colors, remove backgrounds, and prepare your illustrations so they’re ready to use again and again.

What You Will Learn

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

Capture your artwork (scanning vs photographing)
Improve your images using Procreate’s adjustment tools
Remove backgrounds and isolate your illustrations cleanly
Refine edges using masks and simple brushwork
Separate your assets into layers for better organization
Export your artwork as PNG files with transparent backgrounds
Start building your own reusable image library

Why You Should Take This Class

If you love working with traditional media but feel unsure how to bring your artwork into the digital world, this class will give you a clear and approachable workflow.

Digitizing your artwork allows you to:

Reuse your illustrations across multiple projects
Create patterns, products, and compositions
Easily adjust colors and experiment with variations
Build a personal library of assets you can use again and again

This is also a great way to start using Procreate as a design tool, not just a drawing app—without needing to master complex software like Adobe tools.

In my own work, I’ve used this kind of workflow to create patterns for brands like Zara and Mango, design greeting cards and invitations, and build a growing library of reusable illustrations.

Who This Class Is For

This class is perfect for:

Artists who work with traditional media (watercolor, pencils, ink, etc.)
Creatives who want to start using Procreate in a practical way
Anyone interested in surface design, patterns, or digital products
Beginners who want a simple, effective workflow

No advanced Procreate skills are needed. I’ll guide you through each step, but a basic familiarity with the app will help you follow along more easily.

Materials & Resources

To follow along, you’ll need:

An iPad with Procreate installed
One or more hand-painted artworks (sketches, paintings, or drawings)
A scanner or a phone camera

Included resources:

1 tote bag mockup to test your designs on real-life products
