Procreate Blog Series Intro
Hey all! Today I am going to start out the first in a series about how I use the app Procreate with my ipad and Apple pencil.
Before I had this tool mockups were slow and cumbersome. I used to have to use the wacom tablet/photoshop combo. While it was faster and cleaner than actual painting mockups it was not nearly as intuitive as an Ipad and Procreate. Clients always want to see a mock-up and an estimate before a job is green-lit. Procreate is so fast at mockups it allows me to show the client something in a day or even sometimes a few hours. There is so much I want to talk about with this app that I have decided to break it up into a series and in later instalments I will do some quick tutorials. Below is just a quick example of how I incorporate this tool into my workflow:
Client calls and requests a mural or sign.
-First I need pictures of the space and ideas about the sign or mural content
-I then bring both images into Procreate
- Next I create a mockup design
- After the design is finished I place that design on the image of the space
- A quick send off for the client’s thoughts and suggestions
- Lastly we make adjustments and get final design approval
But wait there's more!!!
-I schedule a project time and gather supplies
-I then use Procreate and a projector to trace onto the wall.
-While painting I have the procreate design with me for reference throughout the rest of the process
