Please make sure that your iPad supports Apple Pencil, however you should be fine with any iPad from 2018 or later since they all support Apple Pencil and Procreate.
2. Technical issues
You need a functioning computer with a stable internet connection to participate in online courses. A screen of at least 12” is recommended to make sure you can see all the details clearly. Don’t use a smartphone to watch the lessons – the screen size is too small to deliver the intended experience and lesson quality.
We will ask you to download a couple of free apps designed for comfortable online lessons before the start of the course. Have no fear, all details and simple installation guides will be provided to make sure everyone can do it.
3. Online course
The courses are designed for complete beginners and intermediate artists. In the video, your teacher will create their own work step-by-step, explaining all the moves.

There are 8 lessons and a final bonus lesson at the end. Each lesson is 2 hours long.
In total, the course has around 18 hours of great recorded instruction by experienced teachers. Available lesson recordings, tips, supplementary teaching materials and other content are included.
6. How much is it?
The price of the course is for 13 very detailed lessons from a video recorded by a professional tutor, including teaching materials, a database of lessons to be watched again for one year, and other benefits. You can also choose the option of chat support from the tutor, who will be online twice a week.
Price for an online course with feedback support is £190.
Price for an online course without feedback support is £140.
7. What else do I need?
To get the best experience, make sure you have enough space and a good light source (a desk lamp, at least), a desk, a chair.
As for the internet connection, one that can play YouTube videos well is more than enough. No special computer is needed – if it doesn’t lag too much during daily use, like web browsing or watching films online, you’re good to go!
