How to Cartoon Yourself in Procreate
Ever wanted to easily cartoon yourself but have no drawing skills? I’ll show you how to cartoon yourself in Procreate in this easy tutorial.
I saw this technique on social media the other day and it quickly brought back memories of how we would pop art or cartoon ourselves in Photoshop, back in the 90s. Yeah, that’s showing my age, but what goes around comes back around. Almost always!
So I thought since I can’t do it on my iPhone like the young kiddos do these days I’d show you how to do it in Procreate on your iPad. It’s super fun and you really don’t need any drawing talent whatsoever to do it!

- Apple Pencil Gen 2
- Procreate
- Shutterstock for stock image

Every picture I try to upload comes out very pixelated. How do I get the picture to be clean like the one you use?
You’ll need to use a high resolution image. If you’re pulling from Google they may be really low resolution/quality. You can get high res images from unsplash.com – or buy quality ones from shutterstock.
Can you do this on a pc?
Everything we teach here is for iPad use. So I am unaware of ways to do things on a PC that are similar. Maybe with Photoshop?
