The structure that's missing online
A true digital art academy.
Most platforms give you 1,000+ scattered mini-lessons. It's overwhelming, repetitive, and lacks direction. You jump between topics without mastering any of them.
Freya's Academy is structured like a real art education. Each of our 17 courses is a complete deep-dive on one subject. It is the only path you need to actually become a great artist.
It's the difference between collecting random art tips and actually building skills that compound.
A roadmap, not a maze
You start with fundamentals.
Then you progress logically through portraits, landscapes, patterns, and so much more.
It's the difference between collecting random art tips and actually building skills that compound.
You'll learn everything you need to be a good artist.
The Academy promise
Become a good artist with 30 minutes a day, because it's designed for progress, not overwhelm.
Most platforms throw 1,000+ scattered mini-lessons at you and call it a course library. You jump between topics, finish nothing, and your work doesn't actually improve.
The Academy is the opposite. 17 complete deep-dives, sequenced so each one builds on the last. Start with fundamentals, then portraits, landscapes, oils, patterns, business. Every skill a working artist needs, in the right order.
By the time you finish, the only thing left between you and the work you want to make is practice.
Every course builds on the last
Clear progression from basics to advanced. We begin with the fundamentals: which tools do what, how layers actually work, why your strokes look different than mine. Then we build, course by course.
Your work will look like the examples
Most tutorials cut to the finished piece and leave you guessing. I don't. You'll see exactly where I place each stroke, which color I pick, and when I switch brushes. Follow along and your canvas will match mine.
Deep, focused learning
17 structured courses with everything you need: 450+ artist-grade brushes, source files, palettes, references. Not a single piece is missing when you sit down to create.
Finally get results you're proud of
By Course 5 you'll be making pieces you actually want to post and print. By Course 12, the kind that makes people ask which art school you went to.
Meet your instructor
Hi, I'm Freya.
Twenty years ago I was struggling with the same digital-art frustrations you probably face now. Today my illustrations have been featured by Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Sephora, Apple, Kate Spade and Piaget.
But my favorite work isn't for big brands. It's helping complete beginners surprise themselves with what they can create.
I've taught over 80,000 students and even the design departments of major outlets to do the same. I built this Academy because I wished it had existed when I was starting out.
“We loved the course because we learned many techniques for creating ultra-fast renderings, especially for jewelry, metal and natural-material textures. Meeting Freya was a great experience. She's an excellent teacher.”
Stéphanie Sivrière
Creative Director, Piaget
What you'll be able to do
Master every style, subject & medium in digital art.
This isn't just a Procreate course. It's a complete digital art education, from foundations to oil painting, watercolor, portraits, landscapes, patterns, lettering, and everything you need to create professionally in any style you want.
01
Mastering Procreate Foundations
You'll master Procreate foundations and find your style.
Learn Procreate the way working illustrators actually use it: the interface, the shortcuts that save real time, and the workflow choices that make the difference between a polished piece and a frustrating afternoon.
Discover your unique artistic voice through guided style exploration exercises. You'll learn to analyze what you love in other artists' work and translate those elements into your own distinctive approach.
02
Learning Digital Mediums
Recreate every digital medium.
Recreate any traditional art style digitally: oil painting, watercolor, gouache, pencil sketching, marker, and more. Learn which brushes, blend modes, and techniques create authentic textures that look indistinguishable from traditional media.
You'll understand the science behind why certain digital approaches work and others don't, giving you the knowledge to tackle any artistic style you want to explore.
03
Gaining Art Confidence
Paint any subject confidently.
From realistic portraits and stunning landscapes to detailed pet portraits, botanical illustrations, floral designs, and abstract patterns. Learn the specific approaches each subject demands.
You'll understand why faces require different techniques than flowers, how to capture realistic fur textures, and the secrets to making landscapes feel atmospheric and alive.
04
Create a Complete Portfolio
Walk away with 50+ finished pieces.
A portfolio that covers every style and subject in the academy, so when a client or art director asks what you can do, you can show them instead of telling them.
Each project is designed to build specific skills while creating work you'll genuinely be proud to share with the world.
The full curriculum
17 courses, in the order a working illustrator actually learns them.
Most students follow the four phases below. You don't have to. Every course is self-contained, so you can start with whatever calls to you. Want to paint your dog this weekend? Open Course 03. Want to monetize first? Jump to Course 14. Your account remembers where you left off.
Phase 01 — Foundations
The core. Confident lines, your iPad, your style.
Phase 02 — Build your subjects
Pets, flowers, faces, feelings.
Phase 03 — Composition & specialization
Landscapes, portraits, story.
Phase 04 — Master & earn
Signature techniques, salable patterns, and your first paid commission.
Tell us your goal in the welcome quiz and we'll reorder the path for you. You can change it any time.

Who this is for
Be honest with yourself before you join.
This is right for you if:
- Complete beginners
Never touched digital art? Start with the fundamentals course and build up. No talent required, just consistency.
- Hobbyists ready to go pro
You can create decent art but want professional-level skills. Master advanced techniques and build a portfolio that opens real opportunities.
- Traditional artists going digital
Experienced with physical media but struggling with digital tools? Recreate any traditional technique digitally with authentic results.
- Artists wanting income streams
Ready to monetize your skills? Course 15 alone teaches 36 proven ways to turn your art into sustainable income.
This isn't for you if:
- You only want traditional media
This is focused on digital techniques in Procreate. If you prefer physical paint and paper, this isn't your path.
- You won't practice consistently
Watching videos alone won't make you an artist. You need to actually create the projects and put in the reps.
- You want AI shortcuts
You'll learn fundamentals that hold up whether you're working in Procreate today or picking up a real brush ten years from now. Nothing here ages out the next time an AI tool launches.
