STUDENT PROJECTS
“The projects are very enjoyable to do and very easy to follow because they are divided into little chunks with very clear explanations, the why you draw it like that and useful tips for Procreate. When you see the example of what you’re going to make you think I’m not sure if I can but by following Kris’s instructions in this course you’ll be amazed of yourself and proud of your drawing in the end. It’s such a pleasure drawing and painting the subjects in this course and love the way Kris teaches. This course is suitable for a beginner as well as the more advanced learners.”

“The Pretty Drawing Academy course is incredible. The projects may seem intimidating, but they are not, Kris breaks down each project into easy-to-follow steps, she accompanies us from the initial sketch to the coloring of the final drawing. I loved Kris Lauren’s approach: we move forward step by step, we work on one part of the project then another, each part completed is an encouragement to persevere and at the end we say ourselves, it’s me who drew wow! I feel proud of myself.”

“This is the most confident I have felt coloring with texture! Kris’s Pretty Pencil brushes and superior instruction gave me the understanding I needed to feel comfortable with texture. The Pretty Drawing Academy is visually stunning. Kris does an outstanding job of demonstrating verbally and visually how to use the brushes in order to build confidence, so you can skillfully create along with her all the visually delicious art projects in the course. When I saw the lovely reference projects, I was skeptical my results would be as exquisite as the examples. Kris teaches you everything you need to know with reminders that come at the right time on how to hold your pencil and the pressure needed to get results like hers. Kris works through each of the steps with the student which really helps in the learning process. This gives confidence and results in a more polished illustration. It is Kris’s ability to simultaneously teach drawing technique and successfully demonstrate the use of Procreate brushes in her Pretty Drawing Academy that makes her a standout teaching artist. I credit Kris’s style of teaching for my elevated results in the Pretty Drawing Academy.”

“This course has been very enjoyable and I have learned some new skills as well as some new subjects that I would not normally choose. The projects are well designed and come with templates that you can use to follow along with her or go with your own knowledge but I think it’s best to follow along and then perhaps go with your own ideas. Kris guides you through each module with ease and great advice, most definitely recommend for anyone who wishes to expand their drawing skills.”

HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS?
Q. Will the course be live or is it pre-recorded?
A. The entire course is pre-recorded and there will be no live sessions. So feel free to do the whole course in your PJ’s if you wish!
Q. Are there subtitles?
A. Yes, there are subtitles available in English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
Q. How long will I be able to access the course for?
A. Forever! You’ll have a lifetime access to the course, so you’re welcome to take as long or little time as you like to complete the course and come back and revisit anytime.
Q. What tools will I need to do this course?
A. In class, I will only be demonstrating using Procreate. If you want to follow along with me, you’ll need a pressure sensitive iPad, the Procreate App (v. 5.2.5 or newer), and a pressure sensitive stylus (Apple Pencil). This course can be completed in other drawing programs like Photoshop, Fresco, etc. or you may also use traditional tools, a pen or pencil and watercolor paint if you feel comfortable, but there will be no instruction on how to use any other programs or traditional painting methods.
Q. Are there any special brushes I’ll need?
A. For Procreate, Photoshop & Affinity users, all of the digital brushes you’ll need are included in the course. If you’re using a different software, then you’ll need to use your own brushes. These are not physical brushes, but digital brushes that are made for software programs.
Q. I’m a beginner, is this for me?
A. Yup, I know you can do it! It’s great if you have a very basic knowledge of Procreate, but I’ve walked through everything step-by-step with beginners in mind. If you don’t feel prepared, you can take my FREE Procreate for Beginners class alongside this course.
Q. Do you offer any money back guarantee?
A. Sure do! If you finish the whole course and feel you haven’t gained any benefit or learned anything then email me within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Please note that it must be within the 30 days and the whole course must be completed, no exception.

This course is amazing and absolutely exceeded my expectations. Although it shouldn’t have because Kris always goes above and beyond with her courses and brushes.
Easy to follow and Kris is a wonderful teacher. It almost feels like she is there with you.
This course far exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed every relaxing minute of step-by-step instructions. Kris is very professional, thoughtful and thorough which makes everything easy to learn and follow. I am never intimidated by a course by Kris because I know I am in good hands every time.
Absolutely amazing course! Кris is an incredible teacher who explains everything so clearly and makes the learning process really enjoyable. Even though the course covers quite advanced techniques, it’s presented in such an accessible way that even complete beginners can follow along with confidence. I highly recommend it!
I also own seven of her courses and six packs of graphics and tools, and every single one is exceptionally professional and crafted with great attention to even the smallest details. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything she creates, everything she offers is truly a must-have!
I learned so much about drawing and painting in Procreate by taking this class. Even though my art style is different than Kris’ style I still enjoyed every project – the cupcake was my favorite! Kris has a way of explaining things that makes it so simple to understand and I felt way more confident in my skills after taking this class. It was a great investment in myself and my art journey. I highly recommend.
