It’s school holidays here in South Australia. I can’t wait for the grandchildren to stay over with their iPads, so I can show them this video. They’ve been tinkering with procreate, but this will really help them.
Thank you so much, Lisa and Bear. Great job!
Awesome! I’ve recommended this to my “kid at heart” friends just learning to use Procreate. Thank you, Bear and Lisa, for the easy to follow steps to making art every day!
Thank you very much for making these tutorials for kids! My 7 year old daughter has been enjoying following along with you. Please make more tutorials for kids. You are the first person I found that has a free tutorial for kids. The tutorial is great for adults new to Procreate too.
I loved this video! I love learning new thing’s!
Hello! Your video tutorials have been super helpful to me as a beginner with Procreate. I have a 9 year old son that is artistic and I cannot wait for him to see your videos. Thank you!
