Hi Everyone,
Happy June! Hope you're getting a bit of the good weather wherever you are ☀️
I've a bit of exciting news this month, something I've been quietly working on for a while and can't wait to share. There's more on that just below, along with two freebies to download, a handy tip, and one of my favourite sets from the shop.
Talk soon,

Coming very soon
Procreate Made Simple
My first ever course is nearly here
I've been quietly working away on my first ever course, and it's nearly ready. It's everything I wish I'd had when I first opened the app and had no idea what I was doing. The settings, the gestures, the brushes, the whole way of working, all explained step by step so it finally makes sense.

Two freebies to kick off summer
🖌️ My Detailed Liner Brush
This is the brush I reach for more than any other. Lovely for outlines, lettering, fine detail, and tidying up edges. Tap below to download, then open the file and it'll import straight into Procreate.
Download Detailed LinerTo add these to Procreate: download the file, tap on it in your Files app, and it should open directly in Procreate. If it doesn't, open Procreate, go to Brushes (or Palettes), and tap the + icon to import manually.
Tip of the month
Why your exports look blurry, and how to fix it
This one trips up almost everyone. You finish a piece, export it, and it looks soft or pixelated when you post it. The usual cause is canvas size. If you start a tiny canvas, there simply aren't enough pixels to look crisp once it's blown up on a screen. The fix is to start bigger than you think you need: a canvas around 3000 by 3000 pixels at 300 DPI gives you lovely sharp results with room to spare. And when you export, choose PNG rather than JPEG for the cleanest quality. A small change that makes everything look more professional.
From the shop
This Month: Multi Line Brushes
If you like the free liner brush above, you'll love these. My Multi Line Brush Set lets you draw anything from 2 up to 10 parallel lines in a single stroke, which is brilliant for adding movement, texture, and dimension without the fiddly work.
It's 27 brushes across three styles, solid, gradient, and glaze, plus 3 bonus stamp brushes. Perfect for pattern design, modern abstract work, lettering embellishments, and background fills.
