Procreate App
Procreate is an artist-friendly illustration app. And with Trusted Steps, you won’t be left wondering, “Wait… what did she tap?”
Make art that feels like you — and feel good making it.

If you’ve ever thought:
“Digital feels intimidating.”
“I don’t want to lose my style.”
“I just need someone to show me the basics… slowly.”
…you’re in the right place.

Your Digital Art Start (3-Day Training)
Here's What You’ll Learn in 3 Days:
LESSON 1:
Why Procreate Works for Traditional Artists
“Digital art is too complicated.”
“I don’t need another tool.”
Let’s make Procreate feel friendly. I’ll show you why it’s such a great fit for artists who love hand-drawn work — and we’ll get you set up so you’re ready to start sketching with confidence.
LESSON 2:
Your First Trusted Steps in Procreate
“I don't even know how to draw!”
“I don't know the basics of using Procreate.”
This is where the overwhelm disappears. You’ll learn the core tools you actually need — layers, brushes, color, and texture — step by step, with clear “do this next” guidance.
LESSON 3:
Create Your Fox Tea Towel Design (Start to Finish)
“I want to start and finish a simple art project!”
We’ll put it all together and create your tea towel design from sketch to finish. I’ll also show you how to export your file and prep it to share (and yes — add your logo if you want).
Plus, I'll show you how to:
🖨️ Export your artwork so it’s ready to share or print
💻 Upload your design to a print‑on‑demand site (optional)
📦 List it on Etsy (optional — only if you want to explore selling later)
Can’t watch live? You’re still in.
You’ll have replay access for 7 days, so you can take this at your pace.
Your Digital Art Start mini course is free. The optional $17 gives you instant access to the Start Tonight Studio Kit — so you're set up and extra prepared before Day 1.
We've bundled both together so everything is in one place.

Less overwhelm. More making.

You’ll get Trusted Steps, not “figure it out as you go.”
I Am Teaching YOU
How To Make Art!
Hi, I’m Stacie — and I’ll teach you the way I wish someone taught me.
I’m Stacie Bloomfield, founder of Gingiber. For the past 17 years, I’ve built a career creating illustration that ends up on real products — tea towels, stationery, home goods, and more — sold in over 1,400 stores.
And here’s what matters for you:
I teach in a way that’s clear, encouraging, and practical — so you can learn Procreate without feeling behind, overwhelmed, or “not techy enough.”
Come borrow my Trusted Steps for three days — and surprise yourself with what you can make.
