The $10 drawing app I've used to make MILLIONS! I'll show you how I use Procreate to draw

[@CAZZIEK321]

It’s a testament to the Procreate team that they still only charge £10 for this and that is not monthly! You buy it once and all updates are free. Incredible.

[@ModernOfficeGirl]

I have to agree with you! Procreate is amazing! Your art is amazing too!

[@BreannaMae]

So when it comes to working with rasterized art versus vector, you need to consider the DPI amount as well as the size of the canvas. If you want to print anything and it not be pixelated, you should have the dpi amount set to 300 at the minimum. Anything less than that could be a pixelated mess, depending on the size of the print. I usually set it to 400 dpi on top of having a larger canvas size. That way it can be printed in large format without issues.

[@TheClutterLady]

I'd love to see a video of how you keep your Procreate creations organized!

[@saberkite]

I feel that Procreate is the best app for artists who are moving from physical art (watercolor, pencil and pen illustration, markers, etc) to digital art. It's quite cheap-particularly when you already have the iPad and the Pencil-has got great support and has a really simple interface. I honestly haven't used a lot of the features, happy to just treat it as if I were using a pen and paper.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Yes! It feels ver natural to me! As I’ve gone, Ive used more of the digital features, but it’s nice that you can get started without a class!

[@frankm3867]

It’s addictive. I start to draw and I lose all track of time and 8-10 hours are gone just like that. It’s starting to affect my sleep pattern. I need to not start a drawing after 5 pm lol

[@Dee-cp2ck]

I'm the same way but it's so hard because I have to work I wish could be an artist full time

[@nellycandelas4875]

Start doing something with the results!

[@jessicathejedi35]

Just started using it and I 100% did this 😅😅 it’s cool and crazy at the same time

[@entropicmomathome]

Sigh 😔 I only create clip art and I love what I do but my dream is to be one day like you! I’ve made so many mistakes in my business, started to make 40,000 dollars per year right around the pandemic but now I barely get any orders. I spent 2,000 dollars that I don’t have for a course that is supposed to bring my Etsy shop where it was and the advice seems great, but with 800+ listings, it’s taking a while to get to where I was. You are in inspiration, I have so many ideas and passion for what I do, I keep thinking I’ll get there again but sometimes I also feel like just dropping it and move on .

[@yazicrafter]

Procreate has become my first love too. It is so therapeutic and comforting, I keep drawing till past midnight sometimes.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Meeeee too!

[@Vicktorious]

I absolutely love my procreate and like procreate dreams. I am using to create adaptive creative art for people with disabilities. One of the things I love is the flexibility of this program and the ease of use of the brushes. (Which I am so addicted to!) The portability is undeniably the best! (I am frequently in the hospital and this is always with me! The final images can be printed but I also use them with my sublimation work!) Though now I need more advanced training in terms of the drawing aspect! FYI - the streamline is so incredible, especially for those of use with limited hand use!

[@Sarafara7]

Love this content! I’d love to see tutorials for non artists who would like to get started just doodling and making some art 😊

[@TeeGrows]

Me too

[@dayoffnow]

I am not an Apple user, but you've inspired me to price iPads so I can start using Procreate! So far, I've made physical art only (watercolors, drawings, painted on silk). Sounds like Procreate could be a great way to transition to digital art-making. Thanks for this intro.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

You are so welcome! Be sure to check out my series of Procreate tutorials (I'm still working to grow it) because the watercolor brush is honestly one of my absolute favorites! The customizability of the brushes and canvases in Procreate is really awesome as you make the switch, I did the same thing and never looked back!

[@karenfrancis2868]

Hi, thanks for this! Could you show us how you get a photo, say a pet photo, and turn it into a drawing?! That would be great - thanks!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

That's a great idea! I definitely work off of inspiration photos when it comes to drawing things like my animal stickers. I'll add that to my list!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Thank you! I'm working on more as we speak! Are there any specific tips or skills you want to see me talk through?

[@CoconutYoyo]

Quick question. What storage size would you recommend when buying an ipad for digital art. Does the 5000x5000px canvas result in huge file sizes and in turn a higher base storage being more optimal? Would love to hear what you recommend as a storage size.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

I have a 512GB iPad Pro and it holds all of my files!

[@JuniperLynn7]

I also love Procreate! Just a side note on the video, maybe not “hold up” your iPad to the camera so often? Using a screen recording is easier on the viewer, thanks!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely correct that going forward, that's a great idea!

[@legendofbeans3893]

Listen👏🏻…. The amount of times….I’ve double tapped paper while writing in a sketchbook after getting used to procreate is genuinely embarrassing. When you said you do that as well I just about died 😂

[@southernbellcooks5175]

When you print from home, do the colors on your screen match the printed colors? I've had so many issues with this and not sure how to correct it? Maybe I should only use mockups from taking photos with my phone and not PNG mockups?

[@jenniferscheffel6020]

Question: how are you converting your images to vectors for resizing images without loosing quality (which program and process do you use)? I love procreate for drawing, but I'm stuggling to find the best method to convert my images to other sizes to create multiple products from one image. Thanks!

[@jackjackreads5201]

I'd love a tutorial on Procreate for those of us that cannot draw!

I have been using it for a while now hoping to make some prints from it…Where did you learn how use all the functions I have been drawing and understand what I need to understand but I see videos on here where people use different functions and editing functions and wondering where they learned it from?

[@TheClutterLady]

Even when I saw your title, I assumed that meant $10/mo! I knew you used Procreate, but I guess I just assumed it was expensive. I might have to try it now! Thank you for sharing this! I definitely want the feel of drawing on paper. 💗

[@joyb1299]

I use both procreate and adobe illustrator. Procreate is definitely more user friendly for starting out. However, most of what you said about illustrator is completely incorrect. This isn’t a proper comparison and your audience should know this.

[@KikiStar518]

I was going to make this same comment 🫡. Comparing Procreate to Photoshop would’ve been more accurate since they’re both raster programs. Just wanted to share this if you ever decide to try Illustrator sometime in the future, Elyse…. Illustrator for iPad has the same undo/redo tapping feature. Drawing with the brush or pencil tool is better than using the pen tool on an iPad, in my opinion. You want texture added to the design? Use the effects included in one of the many standard palettes or make your own. Affinity Designer is another vector program similar to AI, but has a one-time purchase option as well.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Let me know what you think is incorrect!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

@@KikiStar518I have used affinity designer! I have tried the texture options with illustrator and affinity designer and they don’t have the same dynamism that I like to see in my art :) also most of the texture is lost if you vectorize :/

[@KikiStar518]

@@Elysebreannedesign that's a good point! texture is for sure has a better execution in raster programs since vector art is more for clean/sharp designs

[@aliciaarroyo6]

Some of the things you said about illustrator is not correct. You can make and download brushes. You can get texture if you know how to. Also it’s meant to be used with the whole adobe suite so you can do more. Basically you are just taking about procreate not how you use it

Like any other video with a similar title, I assumed this was BS, but if she actually has contracts with Marshalls, Homegoods, and World Market, then she might actually be for real. I hate being cynical, but in a world where everyone lies and claims to have more than they actually do, you can't be too sure. But even if millions is an exaggeration - and maybe it isnt! - getting into stores of that size is brutal and absolutely a serious marker of success.
