Wow! This guide is wonderful. I am on a journey to be an author illustrator in my I failed at retiring phase of life. I am loving practicing and learning to draw and paint with analog tools, but have been seeing the writing on the wall that digital tools have their place as well. I have been teaching myself Procreate, but have so many questions about taking the analog work into digital, setting up pages, etc. Your guide is going to be a fantastic resource for me. Thank you so much.
hello, I came for this but will be staying for the fun ;) As a 'baby' illustrator, I have been struggling with how anything I draw in Procreate looks so flat and dead compared to work on paper, and...duh, I am starting to realise that is the reason people work with importing sketches. A life changing insight!
I love your childhood illustrations and would love to know more about the levitating one - because it resonates with me!!! I have a childhood memory of flying down the stairs!
Hi Helen! I’m still thinking about that wonderful workshop. You know how you shared your screen on the zoom? Is that easy to do? I wonder if I could do it when in the next book meeting. Seems like a nice way to share some different options with the art director.
Brilliant! I’ve used Procreate for 2years now and created 2 picture books on it! I also love mixing traditional art with digital for pure pleasure! I can’t wait to find out what brush you used in your pirate book video! I loved how it created multiple smudgy line thicknesses in one brush! :)
Hello!! I’m not an illustrator though...I just want to see if I can get some visual thoughts out onto something... can I still be a pencil pal? 🙈 ✏️ ❤️
Of course! You don't have to be an illustrator to make gorgeous images on Procreate. I am so happy you want to be a Pencil Pal, Sara was singing your praises when I saw her at the weekend 😍
Oh yay! I’ve wanted to be a PP for ages. Looks like such a fun space just took me a bit to get over my ‘but I’m not a real illustrator’ noise. ❤️ I love your work!
I must remember to tell everyone they don't have to be illustrators to get a lot out of Pencil Pals! No one is born an illustrator, we all start somewhere 😂

Thank you so much, Helen! Excited to try Procreate!
Wowzers Helen, this is great, thank you so much, can’t wait to dive in!!!
Just brilliant - thank you!
Thank you for this great article - and for the Procreate for Paper Lovers. Much appreciated.
I loved this! Also I missed the bit about photoshop discount for Goodshippers and would love to know how to access it :D

That is a ramen pen from RSCO, isn’t it lovely?
Wow!! Thank you Helen for the Procreate workbook!! (~:}
Ya welcome!
Ooh. This has some great tips. Must experiment with the Multiply tool!
The multiply tool is where the magic is!
Super workbook after the workshop which I had liked so much 😍
