Book Review – Quick and Simple Painting in Procreate

Quick & Simple Painting in Procreate: Achieve impressive results with speed on the iPad by 3dTotal Publishing
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Overall this is a good starting point for anyone who’s new to both digital illustration and Procreate. Except for the last one, all the tutorials are easy to follow. Even the confusing spots have good lessons to teach. To be sure, there are some devils in the details. I was particularly puzzled by the frequent use of the selection tool for drawing. This fails to take advantage of Procreate’s full range of options, and it produces results that – while not full-on Corel Draw – still aren’t the most visually appealing. But perhaps that’s part of the “quick and simple” thing. My only other gripe was that the Hoopla version was hard to read, a problem I’ve had with 3dTotal publications in the past. If you can get beyond that and are a member of the target audience, this book is worth your time.
