The canvas setup you NEED to know
Most beginners get this wrong and wonder why their art doesn’t look right when it’s off the iPad (I'm serious!)
Procreate for Beginners
Create a Cozy Tea Shop Collection
A complete Procreate foundation that actually works
Create a darling tea motif collection with me
I've created a free, focused class that teaches you Procreate the right way - through creating something beautiful while mastering the tools that actually matter!
Noooo overwhelming feature dumps or confusing jargon in here. Just you, me, and a couple hours of systematic skill-building that leaves you with both gorgeous art and genuine confidence.
⚡︎ Instant access
Make beautiful Procreate art in just 2 hours
(even if you’ve never opened Procreate before)
Whether you want to use photos of loved ones, create a visual timeline, or explore abstract storytelling through objects, this class is your creative playground. P.S. If you prefer working with analog tools, I'll share tips to adapt the digital methods to suit your workflow too 🥳
I know Procreate can feel overwhelming.
It doesn't have to be.
This might sound familiar: You open your iPad, excited to create, but hundreds of brushes and confusing tools stop you cold. Tutorials fly through shortcuts without explaining anything.
So Procreate stays closed 😞
The problem isn't you. Most tutorials dump features without teaching you why you're using them.
That's not how anyone actually learns. You don't need to memorize every feature. You just need a workflow... a systematic approach that builds your skills step-by-step while creating something you're actually proud of.
That's what this free class gives you.
instead imagine this:
You open Procreate with confidence, knowing exactly which tools you need and when to use them.
You understand the workflow that applies to any future project, whether it's botanical art, lettering, patterns, or portraits.
You've built genuine skill, not just memorized random features.
This can be your reality 2 hours from now!
What you'll make
By the end of this class, you'll have a complete tea motif illustration.
- Beautifully detailed tea elements with professional curves and shading
- Atmospheric steam that adds life and movement
- Cozy details and warm lighting effects
- A polished composition ready to share
Plus: The foundation for everything else
The workflow you learn creating this tea scene applies to any future Procreate project because you're not just making one illustration - you're building transferable skills.
"Finally, a tutorial that doesn't assume I already know everything! Peggy explains things so clearly and I feel like I finally understand Procreate inside and out!”

The secret tools most beginners never learn 👀
Here's what frustrates me about most Procreate tutorials: they teach you tools in isolation, but they never show you the workflow secrets that make professional artists so efficient. These aren't hidden features - they're right there in Procreate. But most people spend months (or years!) fumbling around before they discover them.
Layer organization that prevents mistakes
instead of creating chaos you can't fix later
Shape tools that work as shortcuts for objects
No drawing skill required
Brush settings for professional curves
Turn shaky lines into smooth strokes
Color tools that let you experiment fearlessly
Change your mind without redrawing
Selection & transform shortcuts
The difference between 3 hours of work vs. 45 minutes
Layer masking for non-destructive editing
Your creative safety net - never lose work again
Professional export settings
so your art looks perfect everywhere
These are the workflow foundations that professionals use every single day. Once you know them,
Procreate stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling like an extension of your creativity.

Student love
Blown away with how much information is packed in this class. This will be my procreate go to bible! Thank you so much for for explaining everything in great detail. You ROCK Peggy Dean!
The most complete and jammed-packed-full of information about the Procreate interface in a short session. I learnt a lot of new tricks and tools I didn't know or use before. As a beginner who's already a little familiar with Procreate, this felt like a Masterclass of every tool I would ever want to use and should master.
I've been dabbling with Procreate for about a year but this class helped me with all the things I didn't know I didn't know! I'm seeing tons of potential with my future work!
Peggy clearly loves the program and is passionate about sharing all she can. Her informal approach and infectious giggle make her likeable and real.
You made it so simple and fun and I went from hating how hard procreate was to now being super excited to use it. thank you so much! great course!
Just writing to say I've just finished the Procreate beginner course, and it was AMAZING! You packed more into this than some might spend weeks on! I am so grateful for your style of no-time-wasting, nutrient-packed teaching.
Great class. I'm 74 and new to both iPad and Procreate. Really appreciate the lesson on blend modes. I'm sure that I will be referring back to this class often!
I've been a Procreate user for only a little while and I learnt a lot of genuinely useful techniques and tips from these lessons. They're organised well and presented very clearly and I recommend them wholeheartedly for anyone who wants to really get to know the power of Procreate.
I've been using Procreate for years now but was literally gasping out loud at some of things I learnt and had no idea about before!
Meet your instructor
hey I'm Peggy
I'm an artist, author, and educator! It's my favorite thing ever to make creative education accessible and joyful for multi-passionate creatives.
I know firsthand what it's like to feel overwhelmed by new software. That's why I teach Procreate the way I wish I had learned it - systematically, through beautiful projects, with no unnecessary complexity.
Got a question?
Do I need any prior Procreate knowledge?
Any and all! This class is designed for complete beginners. We use simple tools and approaches that don't require artistic talent.
How long is the class?
Just under 2 hours across all lessons and three projects. Very workable in a single afternoon or spread across a few sessions!
Is the class really free?
Yes! This class is my gift to help beginners feel confident in Procreate. No hidden costs, no credit card required.
What comes after the class?
Once you've mastered these foundations, you can explore my intermediate Procreate classs, my Signature Color Palette Builder class, or any of my other creative classs. But there's no pressure - this class alone gives you everything you need to start creating confidently.
I have a different question.
