Saya sudah punya iPad Pencil selama setahun tapi hampir tidak pernah buka Procreate karena tampilannya bikin bingung. Kursus ini menjelaskan layer dan blending mode dengan sangat runtut, mulai dari yang paling dasar sampai teknik shading sederhana. Latihan menggambar di setiap akhir pelajaran benar-benar membantu tangan saya terbiasa dengan pencil, bukan cuma menonton video saja. Satu-satunya kekurangan menurut saya adalah bagian kuas kustom agak terburu-buru dan saya harus mengulang beberapa kali. Tapi secara keseluruhan sekarang saya jauh lebih percaya diri menggambar digital.

Давно хотела разобраться с Procreate, но интерфейс пугал своим количеством кнопок. Курс объясняет слои и режимы наложения очень последовательно, с практическими заданиями после каждого урока. Единственное, чего не хватило — больше времени на кастомные кисти, эта часть прошла слишком быстро.

I got an iPad mostly for note-taking and Procreate sat unused for months because the interface felt overwhelming. This course walks through brushes, layers, and blending modes at a pace that actually makes sense for someone who has never done digital art before. What I liked most is that each lesson ends with a small drawing exercise instead of just watching the instructor work, so you build muscle memory with the Apple Pencil right away. By the third or fourth lesson I was already comfortable switching between brushes and adjusting opacity without hunting through menus. My sketches still need work but for the first time digital drawing feels like a tool I actually understand instead of a mystery app.

J'ai suivi ce cours pour arrêter d'avoir peur de Procreate et ça a plutôt bien marché. Les leçons sur les calques et le mélange des couleurs sont expliquées pas à pas, ce qui m'a beaucoup aidée à progresser rapidement. Le seul bémol c'est que la partie sur les textures personnalisées passe un peu vite.

Ce cours m'a enfin permis de comprendre comment organiser mes calques sans tout mélanger. Les exercices pratiques après chaque vidéo sont vraiment utiles pour retenir les raccourcis du Pencil. Petit bémol, la section sur les textures aurait mérité un peu plus de détails.

I started this course knowing nothing about Procreate beyond how to open the app. The lessons on layers and blend modes are laid out really logically, and the little drawing exercises after each video actually stuck with me. My only complaint is the section on custom brushes moves a bit fast for a total beginner.

Le lezioni sui livelli e sulle sfumature sono spiegate benissimo, ora uso l'Apple Pencil con molta più sicurezza.

Las explicaciones sobre pinceles y capas son clarísimas, después de un par de lecciones ya me sentía cómoda dibujando en el iPad.

Les explications sur les calques et les modes de fusion sont claires, mais j'aurais aimé un peu plus de temps consacré aux pinceaux personnalisés.
