Hey there!

I'M ROB.

I‘ve been a full-time iPad artist using Procreate since 2013 and love how this kit lets me draw anytime and anywhere inspiration strikes.

I‘ve taught iPad sketching workshops around the world for years and now have self-paced online courses right here to share with you the best digital workflows for iPad urban sketching.  

iPad Urban Sketching 101 

Learn to capture stories and scenes of your life using Procreate on your iPad, even if you’re a complete beginner.

In these THREE demos, I show you how to practice your Procreate skills with whatever you've got at home, then start with a simple collection of doorways before we tackle an entire scene on location.

We’ll cover brushes to use, how to just do punchy line work if you don’t want to do color, then how to start with color in different easy ways.

Most importantly, I show you exactly what workflows I use when I sketch. What combination of Procreate tools makes an efficient system? I’ll show you and how you can tweak things to customize and make it your own.

This course is for you if:

  •  You have an iPad and Apple Pencil but don’t know where to start
  •  You love cities, travel, or cafĂ©s and want to learn to sketch what you see
  •  You’ve tried drawing from photos but feel stuck drawing from real life
  •  You want a simple, repeatable process instead of random YouTube videos

Learn to start digital urban sketching with these 3 demos

  • Learn how to start a sketch

  • Discover best brushes (not just for beginners!)

  • Explore different ways to approach painting and color

  • Learn how to look at a scene, break down its components and play with composition

These THREE demos cover all that ground and help you start by drawing indoors with things you have with you. We then take those skills outdoors step-by-step to build your confidence, train your analytical eye when looking at a scene so you’ll have a better understanding of composition.

Stories from your Stuff

Practice your Procreate skills with collections of objects you already own. In this demo, I draw my flashlight collection and show you how to start with simple lines with recommended brushes.

You’ll also learn 4 different ways to paint objects in Procreate, along with workflows that make the entire process smoother and easy.

Hitting the Streets

How do you know what to draw? How do you analyze a scene? What if there isn’t much time? In this demo, I show you how I look at a scene. On Peel Street in central Hong Kong, then break down a few sketching approaches starting from just simple line work of a street vendor, and how I would expand the sketch if there was more time, and finally, a complete paint job.
