Keep it simple—here’s what you need to start in Procreate:
An iPad Pro
Any iPad that runs Procreate works. Think of it as your portable studio — ready whenever you have a little pocket of time..
A Stylus
An Apple Pencil (or compatible stylus) helps your lines feel natural — like drawing in a sketchbook, just smoother and easier to refine.
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.

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.
Your iPad Gives You:
Freedom to experiment because undo exists — and trying something new doesn’t waste supplies.
Faster progress with less friction. You can sketch, adjust, refine, and finish without starting over.
A bridge from traditional to digital so your hand-drawn style can live on the iPad — and still feel like you.
