For digital art and Procreate creators

Turn your digital art process into a drawing workbook.

For digital art creators teaching Procreate, a workbook could explain the decisions between a sketch and a finished image. Explore an illustrative workflow guide with layer plans and drawing studies, separate from the studio's visual-warmth guide. We research, write and design it in your voice, built first at our cost.

For creators with an engaged, English speaking audience, typically between 10,000 and 100,000 followers.

The questions

The guide is already in your comments.

Repeated questions can suggest what a guide should explain. They do not prove that someone will buy. We read your content, comments and questions, then group the recurring asks into a product idea to evaluate.

  • How do you decide what belongs on a separate layer?a possible workflow question
  • Can I see the stages between the sketch and the finished piece?a request for process notes
  • Why did you choose that brush for this part?a question about a drawing decision
  • Can you give me an exercise to practice this process?a possible request for a drawing study

What a guide could look like

An example outline. Yours comes from your audience.

From Sketch to Layered Study

A digital art workbook for planning an original drawing, organizing layers and recording creative choices.

Bonus tools

  • Layer planning worksheet
  • Drawing study and process review sheet

Illustrative outline, written for this page. We have not built a procreate workflow guide yet. Yours would come from your content and your audience's questions, and could look quite different.

  1. Choose a drawing briefAn original still-life prompt with space for references the reader has permission to use.
  2. Record the workspaceA setup sheet identifying the app version and settings shown in the creator's examples.
  3. Compare small sketchesThumbnail studies with notes explaining composition choices.
  4. Plan the layersAn annotated layer map that connects each part of the study to its purpose.
  5. Study a brush decisionMark-making comparisons using tools the creator can demonstrate and reference.
  6. Follow a worked drawingOriginal process images with explanations of the choices between stages.
  7. Review and organize the filesA reflection sheet and file checklist matched to the intended use of the artwork.

Likely buyers

The people already asking you.

  • Digital artists who can follow a timelapse but want to understand the choices it skips.
  • Procreate learners looking for exercises alongside your demonstrations.
  • Followers who want a way to plan and review their own drawing studies.

Why a guide

A timelapse compresses the pauses when an artist compares options. A workbook can put those decisions next to the process images, then leave space for the reader's attempt. The focus would be a drawing workflow rather than a promise that a brush creates a style.

Questions

Before you apply.

Is this the visual-warmth guide in your portfolio?

No. Reading the Warmth is an existing illustration guide. This Procreate workflow outline is a separate, unbuilt idea, not an official Procreate product or an implied endorsement. App-specific instructions would need to be checked against the version used. We do not promise sales. You approve the finished product before launch.

Do I need to write the guide myself?

No. We research, write and design the whole product from your content and your audience's questions, in your voice. You read the finished product and approve it before anything is published.

Who owns the product?

This is set in the written agreement before work starts. We do not publish anything under your name without your approval, and we do not claim your audience or your content.
