An iPad, Apple Pencil and the app Procreate 5X are all you need to start creating!

Read MoreI have always been a great admirer of Isla's art and style and when she came out with a course, I jumped at the opportunity to learn anything from her. Her Menu & Placecard Design course is wonderful for both Procreate beginners as well as more advanced artists as Isla takes you slowly on a little design adventure that you never want to leave from! I wish she offered more courses, I would take them in a heartbeat. Not only is Isla such a lovely person always so available in case you have any question, but the course is yours for up to 1 year in case you want to re-watch. I highly recommend taking this wonderful course. Andrea Patmos Plume

Read MoreI always love DIY my own home, decor and design my own events. After working in luxury fashion space for 2 decades, I have become very picky on specifics, and the best way to do it and not cost thousands is to do it by myself. Through Isla's course I was able to express my creativity through procreate and can draw and design just like any illustrators, this skill is now under my belt, it is so useful as a creative consultant and able to advise my teams and clients the artistic side as well as I can design unique cards for my personal use, it is so easy even my kids started to have their own drawing templates designed by me for them. Through this course I also appreciate the time and energy every artist put to it, therefore I can advise clients how to charge from the business point as well as creative point. I highly recommend Isla Simpson's course. It is a small investment last for lifetime. Thank you Isla! X
Read LessAbsolutely. The course has been designed especially for beginners. We begin by learning in a paint by numbers fashion, progressing to allow more scope for artistic flair.
You will need an Apple Pencil, and an ipad with Procreate installed. The Apple pencil is compatible with the iPad Pro, and most recent generations of iPad, Mini & Air. But double check the Apple website to be sure. The newest version of Procreate for the iPad (at the time of writing) is 5.2 and requires iPadOS 15.1 or newer to install. The course has been updated for Procreate 5.2
The course is self paced, and takes between 4 - 6 hours, depending on drawing speed and how fast or slow you want to take it. I recommend that you take the course over a weekend, to digest and practise new found Procreate skills.
If you do the work, and you're still not satisfied, show me your work within 14 days of enrolling, and I'll give you a refund.

I know from my personal experience as a designer, how important it is to refresh your knowledge. So I'm offering access for 1 year.
