Speed Up Your Procreate Learning with Tracing Pages
I know the feeling—you open Procreate, excited to draw, but suddenly, your mind goes blank. What should you sketch? Your lines feel shaky, and the pressure to create something “good” takes away the fun. I’ve been there, and I want you to know you’re not alone! Learning digital art takes time, but there’s a way to make it easier and more enjoyable: tracing Pages.
Some people think tracing is “cheating,” but that’s not true at all! It’s actually a powerful learning tool that helps build muscle memory, improve line control, and boost confidence. Instead of feeling stuck or frustrated, you can focus on practicing techniques in a stress-free way.
What’s a Procreate Tracing Book?
A Tracing Book is like a digital sketchbook with training wheels! 🎨✨ It gives you ready-made line art to trace over, helping you practice, build confidence, and improve your strokes—without the stress of starting from scratch. Perfect for beginners or anyone who just wants to have fun and level up their skills in Procreate! 🚀😊
A Procreate tracing book is like a guided sketchbook for digital artists! 🎨✨ It’s a collection of templates you can trace and ink right in the Procreate app. Perfect for learning, practicing, and leveling up your digital art skills—one stroke at a time!
Why Are Tracing Pages the Best Way for Beginners to Learn Procreate?
When I first started, freehand drawing felt overwhelming. Tracing gave me the structure I needed without the pressure of creating from scratch. Here’s why it helped me (and why it can help you too!):
- No More Creative Blocks – Instead of stressing about what to draw, I could just open a template and start sketching.
- Faster Learning – Following guided lines helped me improve my hand control and precision.
- Instant Progress – I could see my improvement quickly, which kept me motivated.



How Procreate Tracing Books Helps with Anxiety?
Art should be relaxing, not stressful. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, tracing helped me calm down and enjoy the process:
- It’s Meditative – The repetitive motion of tracing is as soothing as coloring.
- No Pressure to “Get It Right” – Since I had a guide, I didn’t worry about making mistakes.
- Confidence Boosting – Completing a traced drawing still felt like an accomplishment!
Is Procreate Tracing Cheating?
Not at all! I’ve learned that even professional artists use tracing as a training tool. Just like musicians learn by playing songs before composing their own, tracing helps artists develop their skills.

Will I Ever Be Able to Draw Freehand?
Yes! Tracing helped me train my hand and eye coordination, so over time, I naturally improved and needed guides less and less. It’s like using training wheels before riding a bike!

Here’s my simple process:
- Import the Template – Open Procreate and insert a tracing template on a new layer.
- Create a New Layer – I always trace on a separate layer for better control.
