Only had it a few days and absolutely love this book!! Being an artist who loves to paint and create, discovering the Procreate app on my new iPad Pro, it’s great to learn all new skills to integrate with my actual art and also look forward to creating digital art. YouTube is always good but having this book is a valuable add on to go to and read over etc while practicing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I like the book and it’s already helping me navigate Procreate. I think it’s going to be a brilliant guide. However I don’t understand how to access the downloadable resources. It says to find them on p208 but there’s just words and descriptions, with no info on where to get them from. I’m probably just being dumb! Also beware if you have difficulty reading white text on a black background. Some people swear by it, but if you’re like me it can be a hard on the eyes and leave after images flashing all over. Everyone’s different! EDIT: I have since found the downloadable resources online on 3D Total Publishing’s website. Maybe this is something that is known if you buy the book directly from them, however a note in the book directing you there wouldn’t go amiss!!

Great book, it gives lots of tricks and tips, a good little helper for beginners.

I am an Artist & wanted to try Digital Art that so many people are talking about, including David Hockney! I have no money for an IPad, but when I found I could use Pocket on my old IPhone, I downloaded the App. Well, I got a little way with it, but was pretty lost in how to get further. I researched help books buyable on Kindle as so much cheaper, & this came out best. Yes, not everything is the same on both programs, but most of the important stuff is. As I find there’s so much to remember, I pracy the important bits in a notebook. This I find invaluable. I have not finished the book yet, but it’s helped me get to grips with things so far & is reasonable to understand. I would recommend to anyone using Procreate or Pocket who wants to find out how to use it. Well worth the money.

If you are new to procreate and / or digital art and painting in general this book is a great choice for beginning steps, great quality, the book is aesthetically very nice to look at and easy to follow, not too complex but has a lot of information in 10/10 recommend.

This book was very knowledgeable and helpful for beginners learning digital drawing on Apple ipads etc. . Recommend this book 👍

I like this book but still learning from it with my new iPad. It will take sometime I am sure. Only complaint that I have is I wish it was a ringbinder format as it would be much easier to have open when you are studying the marvellous things it can do. I buy a few art books and always disappointed if they aren't produced ring binder style. Sometimes one doesn't have enough room to have an instruction book open, so being able to fold it back helps such a lot.

I’m just learning Procreate and I’ve been taking an online class. This book has been great and very helpful for quick reminders and where to find things. Easily laid out and easy to understand. I’m in my mid 60’s so computer online stuff doesn’t come as easy as it does for the younger generation that has grown up with it.

Amo este libro. Tened muy en cuenta antes de comprarlo que está en inglés. Es un inglés bastante entendible, pero es necesario tener, al menos, unos conocimientos básicos del idioma. Las imágenes son preciosas y en alta resolución y te explican paso a paso cómo usar Procreate, de lo más sencillo a lo más complejo. Está súper bien, y además puedes realizar algunos de los proyectos de tus artistas favoritos, pues los explican paso a paso.

Muito legal

Lovely book with decent resources. Can't wait to start!

Good book and love it
