Is Art With Flo Suitable for Beginners in Procreate?

Yes. Art With Flo is explicitly built for people who are new to Procreate, including those with no drawing background. The site's own framing ("Unlock Your procreate® Superpowers!") and its patron testimonials both point to a beginner-friendly, follow-along teaching style. If you have never opened Procreate before, you can start here and follow a tutorial from scratch. If you already draw, the same library also covers intermediate and advanced techniques, so you won't outgrow it quickly.

What makes it work for beginners

The strongest evidence comes from the community itself. Several long-time patrons describe starting with zero confidence:

• One patron (since January 2021) says Flo "taught me so many different things about art and color and procreate."
• Another (since October 2023) notes it "takes a special kind of talent to teach digital art to people who could never draw two straight lines to save their lives" — and credits Flo with engaging beginners worldwide.
• A third (since November 2021) describes feeling "really overwhelmed with the Procreate app" until finding a "You can draw this" tutorial, and says they "haven't stopped drawing ever since."

That last point matters: the overwhelm of Procreate's interface is the most common beginner barrier, and the tutorials are designed to remove it.

How the teaching style supports new users

The site's approach is learn-as-you-do, not lecture-first. According to patron feedback:

• Instructions are clear and step-by-step ("she is thorough and identifies clearly the actions she is taking").
• You are encouraged along the way rather than left to figure things out alone.
• Projects vary in type, so you can pick something you actually want to make — which keeps beginners motivated.
• The community provides feedback on your work, which is useful when you can't yet judge your own output.

One patron with an old art background says the tutorials help "remember manual techniques and show me how to do them digitally" — a sign the instruction bridges traditional and digital skills rather than assuming either.

Does it also cover more advanced users?

Yes. The homepage references "amazing custom brushes" and a "Procreate® Treasure Chest," and asks "Ready to BECOME A PROCREATE® MASTER?" — language aimed at progression beyond the basics. A patron since November 2021 says that after doing the tutorials, "I can now do so many things on Procreate without help," which is the transition from guided beginner to independent user.

So the range is roughly:

How to decide if it fits you

Choose Art With Flo if you want guided, encouraging, project-based Procreate instruction and you learn best by doing. It is a particularly good fit if the app itself feels intimidating.

Look elsewhere first if you want pure theory, formal art-fundamentals coursework, or a self-directed curriculum with no follow-along projects. The site's strength is hands-on tutorials, not academic structure.

A practical way to test it: pick one beginner "You can draw this" project and complete it start to finish. If you can follow the steps and end up with something you recognize, the site matches your level. If you finish wanting more challenge, move to the brush and advanced content.
