Using PDF Lettering Worksheets in Procreate

To use PDFs in Procreate, this is how I do it:

I download the PDF on my computer and save it to a file-sharing site (like iCloud Drive or Dropbox).
Then open the PDF on my iPad (using Dropbox) and take a screenshot of the page I want to practice.
Then in Procreate 4, simply tap the “Photo” option in the top right corner of the screen.
Choose the photo from wherever you’ve saved it on your iPad.
Add a new layer to letter on (so you’re not lettering on the same layer as the worksheet) and practice away! 🙂
