From bite-sized creative exercises or more detailed tutorials, there's something here for every kind of August mood.
Scroll through the categories below to find your next creative project - whether you're in the mood for a Quick Win or ready for a Deeper Dive.
QUICK WINS (Beginner friendly Procreate tutorials that you can complete in 5-20 minutes)
These tutorials are perfect if you're just starting out or want something light and satisfying to work on in a short creative session.
DEEPER DIVES (Projects that take a little more time but are totally worth it for the end result!)
If you're feeling ready to stretch your skills, these tutorials go a bit deeper and are ideal for weekends, creative deep-dives, or when you're looking to take your skills to the next level.
PRO TOOLS for Surface Pattern Designers
If you're looking to build on the skills from these tutorials, I’ve got a few tools and classes that can help you take things up a notch.
My Procreate Patterns Class is suitable for beginners and teaches you a step by step approach to creating professional repeats in Procreate.
This pack of 20 Seamless Texture Overlays allows you to create professional textured patterns in just a few clicks. Simply choose the texture you would like and place it over your completed pattern. The textures are already repeating meaning you don't have to worry about broken lines in your finished pattern!
Final Thoughts
I hope this roundup sparked some fresh ideas and gave you that little nudge to open up Procreate and get sarted on something new!
Whether you’re just starting out or building something bigger, keep exploring because every pattern you make is part of your journey.
Nothing is 'wasted' when you create. (Even those pieces that you never show the world!)
If you'd like to see short video tutorials of these projects you can find then as reels on my Instargam account and as shorts on my Youtube channel. (Sometimes it can be easier to follow along when you are watching the process!)
