Build your creative confidence and learn the Procreate essentials as you draw delightful foods and playful plants.

In this beginner-friendly course, illustrator Lisa Bardot guides you through the foundations of digital illustration in Procreate while helping you kickstart a sustainable creative habit. Over two weeks, you’ll complete 10 approachable drawing tutorials, starting with charming foods like oranges and donuts, and moving into leafy monstera plants and colorful mushrooms. Along the way, you’ll learn the Procreate interface, create your own canvas template, and explore core digital art techniques like shading, textures, and working with layers. Designed to keep you motivated, each session is short, fun, and easy to follow—even if you’re new to art or haven’t drawn in years. You’ll also use a downloadable Progress Tracker to celebrate your work as you go. By the end of this course, you'll have a growing gallery of digital artwork, a deeper understanding of Procreate, and the momentum to keep your creative practice going strong.
