Did you know most Procreate artists felt stuck at some point?
Tell me if this sounds familiar:
✏️ You open up the Procreate app only to find yourself staring at a blank canvas wondering how to actually start.
✏️ You’ve watched some free Procreate tutorials, but can’t seem to apply them to your own artwork.
✏️ You get frustrated trying to find the hidden tools and gestures in the Procreate app.
✏️ Or maybe you’re brand new to Procreate and want to learn how to navigate the app and create digital art you feel proud of.
I’ve heard from countless artists who say that they wish they could master Procreate but feel overwhelmed by where to start.
Whether you feel you don’t have the time, don’t have the skills, don’t have good drawing ideas, or aren’t tech-savvy enough to create artwork in Procreate, you’re not alone.
Hi, I’m Cat! 👋 And once upon a time, I felt just like you. But now, I can say that Procreate has changed my life. Thanks to this program, I’ve been able to get my artwork into stores such as Target, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, HomeGoods, and more!
Procreate is such a powerful program for artists because it makes it so easy for you to create digital artwork that you can turn into a viable business.
Unfortunately, many artists get overwhelmed with Procreate. However, if you know your way around, you’ll get from pen and paper to stylus and screen really fast. And I’ll be there to guide your hand.
My art went from screen:
…to physical product:

Before I learned how to use Procreate, I would spend hours and hours on a single illustration.
Now, I’m able to create professional illustrations for my art licensing portfolio from my iPad in less than half the time it takes using other digital art software. (Plus, using a stylus to draw is waaaaay more intuitive than clicking a mouse!)
Imagine if you were able to make thousands of dollars in just one hour.
Sounds too good to be true?
I know. But it’s what happened to me.
Below, you’ll see the strongest selling piece in my art licensing portfolio. And I drew it in Procreate in under an hour.
Here it is:
This single illustration has brought in thousands of dollars in art licensing revenue. So essentially, I got paid (and continue to get paid) for something that only took me minutes to create using the skills I’ve learned in Procreate.
And it gets better.
When you create digital illustrations, you can work from anywhere.
It could be your couch or a cool coworking space in Bali.
As a digital nomad, I get to work on professional illustrations like this one anywhere I can bring my iPad – my favorite cafe in Costa Rica, cruising in a plane at 30,000 feet, laying in a hammock, or even just alone in my studio before anyone else wakes up.
And you could do the same.
Start today with Procreate for Beginners, where you’ll learn the A to Z of creating professional digital illustrations that will sell well.

Student Testimonials
Hear what my Procreate for Beginner students are saying about the class!
“This class is a perfect class for beginners but also has great tips for experienced designers. I learned so much and highly recommend to anyone new to Procreate or more experienced designers looking to add specific skills. Thank you, Cat!” –Karen B.
Here’s what Karen created after taking my class:
“This course was so easy to follow and the projects are so pretty. I want to start a career in Surface Pattern Design and I've found really great courses but I was really intimidated by them. This was the perfect course to start and I would recommend it even if you already know your way around Procreate!” – Monserrat K.
Here’s what Monserrat created after taking my class:
“I had not used Procreate before taking this class (beyond opening it and trying to draw with all types of things). I certainly couldn’t figure anything else out. By the end of this class I had a great understanding of the basic tools and have already made fun pictures!” – Victoria F.
Here’s what Victoria created after taking my class:
“This was a way more fun class than some of the other beginner Procreate classes I had attempted. Straight away the projects were engaging and fun, and I was learning as I went.”
- Wendy J.
“I'm a complete beginner with Procreate, although I've been watercolouring traditionally for a couple of years. This class is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Cat is engaging and a natural orator and teacher. It's very motivational to be able to follow on my own device and there are some nice easy starting exercises help embed the learning. There are little tips shared on the way that wouldn't be evident to a beginner, which will really help get to grips with the app and to start making lovely pieces.”
- Lisa H.
“The presentation and content is excellent. Cat is a charming, engaging character and a gifted instructor. At last I am feeling more confident with Procreate, so a big shout out to Cat. Thank you so much!”
- Marie-Philippa A.
“Before I took this class, I watched some YouTube videos and did another class in another online learning platform. Cat is by far the best teacher for me. She went slowly, she took me on a few side journeys, she explained things incredibly well. Will take more classes from her for sure. Thank you!!!”
- Sonia C.
I recently started designing on the iPad and I wanted to learn how to use Procreate. A lot of other videos had me lost within the first couple of videos but Cat's lessons were easy to follow and she explained everything very well and made it easy to understand. I'll be checking out her other lessons next. Thanks, Cat!
- Shawn P.
“This class was wonderful, I learned some super helpful tools and tricks I wouldn't have known otherwise! I just started using Procreate (and an iPad in general) and just these few classes have me feeling SO CONFIDENT! Do it! Very easy to follow and understand, and I don't consider myself to be tech savvy in the least.”
- Michelle P.

I’ve got you covered! This class covers all the basics of this incredibly powerful drawing app. The best part? You’re not going to be bored out of your mind listening to a tedious explanation of every interface button. *yawn*
Instead, you’ll learn by doing. (After all– we’re creative people and that’s our favorite way to learn!)
You’ll follow with me along step-by-step as we set up our canvas, sketch the composition, explore color, and infuse texture. This class is packed with “ah-ha!” moments.
By the time you finish, you’ll not only be comfortable creating more Procreate artwork, but you’ll be excited to fill up your Procreate gallery with tons of new artwork!
-
This class is for all levels, so if you’ve never used Procreate before, you’re going to be able to follow along just fine and create some awesome illustrations!
And if you’re already a Procreate pro, you’re going to get my best tips & tricks for creating professional-level illustrations.
Plus, this class is packed with insider resources and shortcuts. The idea here is that we’re going back to basics with a few fresh ideas.
-
You’ll need an iPad and the drawing app, Procreate. I also use an Apple Pencil because it feels more natural when I’m drawing. However, if you don’t have a stylus –no problem– you can also just use your finger.
-
When it comes to drawing, I love using reference photos to assist me! After all, it can be pretty daunting to look at a blank screen and decide what/how to draw.
Even if you’re not super confident with your drawing skills, you can use reference photos to literally trace and refine.
Reference photos are great for helping you with that starting point. So that’s exactly how we’re going to begin the class!
You’ll learn exactly how to find reference photos online and then use them as starting point with your sketch.
-
Short answer: Yes!
My licensing portfolio contains a bunch of different mediums: Procreate, watercolor, acrylic, India ink, Illustrator, etc. So far, in my career in art licensing, I've never run into an issue with a client who couldn't accept my files because of their format.
Instead, the biggest factor is the canvas size & DPI of your artwork. If it's too small to print on products, it won't be a viable design to license.
That's why I create my Procreate illustration on the largest canvas size available for my model of iPad in Procreate. For rasterized artwork like this, bigger art = more opportunities.
And don’t worry– I’ll be covering all this in the class as well!
