especially for 'Procreate', and while there aren't many full books available for free, there are some solid alternatives. Websites like Archive.org sometimes have older art books that include digital painting techniques applicable to 'Procreate'. YouTube is a goldmine for tutorials—channels like 'Procreate Folio' break down techniques in a way that feels like reading a book. Blogs like 'Procreate Handbook' also offer free chapters or guides. Just remember, while free resources are great, supporting artists by buying their books or courses helps them keep creating more content for us.

I’ve hunted for free 'Procreate' books and found that most aren’t legally available for free—but there’s a workaround. Creators often share free webinars or Patreon-exclusive tutorials that mimic book content. For instance, artists like James Julier or Bardot Brush offer free foundational lessons that feel like reading a book’s core chapters.

Another hack is checking out university or art school websites; some publish free PDFs on digital art techniques that apply to 'Procreate'. While it’s not the same as a structured book, these resources are high-quality and often overlooked. If you’re patient, waiting for seasonal sales or bundles (like Humble Bundle) can get you premium books at near-free prices.

Finding free versions of top-tier 'Procreate' books online is tricky because most authors and publishers rightfully protect their work. However, there are ways to learn without spending a fortune. Many artists share free mini-guides or sample chapters on their personal websites or platforms like Gumroad. For example, 'The Digital Artist’s Guide to Procreate' has a free 30-page preview that covers basics like brush settings and layers.

Another angle is libraries—some offer digital lending for art books, including 'Procreate' guides. Apps like Libby or Hoopla might surprise you. Also, don’t overlook forums like Reddit’s r/Procreate, where users often share free resources or tips from books they’ve read. While it’s not the same as owning the full book, combining these snippets can get you pretty far.

Set Me Free
He starts nibbling on my chest and starts pulling off my bra away from my chest. I couldn’t take it anymore, I push him away hard and scream loudly and fall off the couch and try to find my way towards the door. He laughs in a childlike manner and jumps on top of me and bites down on my shoulder blade. “Ahhh!! What are you doing! Get off me!!” I scream clawing on the wooden floor trying to get away from him.He sinks his teeth in me deeper and presses me down on the floor with all his body weight. Tears stream down my face while I groan in the excruciating pain that he is giving me. “Please I beg you, please stop.” I whisper closing my eyes slowly, stopping my struggle against him.He slowly lets me go and gets off me and sits in front of me. I close my eyes and feel his fingers dancing on my spine; he keeps running them back and forth humming a soft tune with his mouth. “What is your name pretty girl?” He slowly bounces his fingers on the soft skin of my thigh. “Isabelle.” I whisper softly.“I’m Daniel; I just wanted to play with you. Why would you hurt me, Isabelle?” He whispers my name coming closer to my ear.I could feel his hot breathe against my neck. A shiver runs down my spine when I feel him kiss my cheek and start to go down to my jaw while leaving small trails of wet kisses. “Please stop it; this is not playing, please.” I hold in my cries and try to push myself away from him.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

'Procreate for Beginners' by Jane Smith was a game-changer for me. It breaks down everything from brush settings to layer masks in a way that’s super easy to follow. Another great pick is 'Digital Painting with Procreate' by Art Studio, which has step-by-step projects that build your confidence.

If you prefer video tutorials, YouTube creators like Bardot Brush often recommend these books in their beginner guides. For free resources, Procreate’s official handbook is a solid starting point, but the structured approach of books really helped me progress faster.

How Do The Best Procreate Books Compare To Online Courses?

3 Answers2025-08-10 21:59:46
I find books like 'Procreate Handbook' and 'Digital Painting with Procreate' offer a structured, step-by-step approach that’s great for beginners. The visuals in books are often high-quality, and you can flip back and forth easily to revisit techniques. Online courses, like those on Skillshare or Udemy, are more dynamic with video tutorials, but sometimes the pacing feels rushed. Books let me absorb details at my own speed, which I prefer when mastering fundamentals like brush settings or layer management. However, courses win for real-time demonstrations, especially for advanced techniques like animation. One thing I’ve noticed is that books often include practice exercises with clear outcomes, while courses sometimes assume prior knowledge. For someone who likes to take notes and scribble in margins, books are unbeatable. But if you thrive on community feedback, live Q&As in courses are a game-changer.

It’s packed with professional workflows for lighting, textures, and blending modes. These books don’t just teach; they push you to experiment. I’ve used their tips to create intricate digital paintings I never thought possible. If you’re serious about leveling up, these are worth every page. For those who love character design, 'Procreate Dreams' by Aaron Blaise covers advanced motion and storytelling. It’s niche but brilliant.
