Your courses live in Freya Studio. This is the tour: where things are, and what the lesson player can do.
- Freya courses: studio.freya.courses
- Twotap courses and the Summit: studio.twotap.art
One account can hold both, but each site signs you in separately, so if you have bought on both sides you sign in twice. Land on the wrong one and Studio points you at the right one rather than turning you away.
1. Signing in
Type the email address you bought with and choose Email me a sign-in link. We email you a link that signs you in, good for 24 hours.
There is no password to invent, no code to wait for and no forgot-password page. The link is how you get in. If you would rather have a password, you can set one afterwards in Settings.

2. The dashboard
Signing in drops you on your dashboard, which is the shortest route back to whatever you were last doing. Everything else hangs off the menu down the side, or the tabs along the bottom on a phone:
- Courses, everything you own, plus the rest of the catalogue as locked cards.
- Brushes, brush sets. The In your library tab is the ones that are yours; the Brushsets tab is the whole shop, which is why a set you own can look like it is for sale.
- Resources, standalone files: palettes, references and templates.
- My Art, your own uploads.
- Settings, your account and billing, and the Refresh purchases button.
- On Twotap Studio there is also Summit.
If you own nothing yet, Courses is still the place to look. There is a free sampler there to try before you buy anything.
3. Inside a course
Lessons run down one side. The downloads block sits on the course page itself, grouped under headings like brushes, colour palettes, references, textures and templates, so you do not have to hunt through the lessons for the files. Many courses lead with a complete resource pack that holds the whole kit in a single download.
Do the downloading on your iPad, so the files land where Procreate can reach them. Download links do not expire and there is no limit on how many devices you use them on.
Each course also has a Notebook for your own notes as you work, and a Certificate page that unlocks as you mark the lessons complete.
4. The lesson player
Click or tap the video to bring up the controls:
- Captions. Turn them on, pick a language where a lesson has more than one, and restyle the text if it is hard to read against the drawing. On an iPad, go full screen first, otherwise the button stays hidden.
- Playback speed. 0.75 is popular for detailed steps.
- Picture-in-picture, so the video floats over Procreate while you draw. On an iPad this also needs full screen first.
- Keyboard shortcuts on a computer: space to play or pause, arrow keys to jump five seconds, c to cycle captions.
The lessons stream, so you need a connection to watch them. Files are a different matter: those download and stay yours.
5. If something you bought is missing
Open Settings and press Refresh purchases, then look again. If it is still not there, it almost always went on a different email address at checkout, which PayPal and Apple Pay both do routinely.
Settings is at studio.freya.courses/settings, or studio.twotap.art/settings for Twotap courses and the Summit. Landing on the wrong one forwards you rather than refuses you.
If Refresh purchases does not bring it back, go to help.freya.courses. Every answer we have is searchable there, and the contact form at the bottom of that page reaches a real person who reads it. Send your order number and we will join the two addresses up.
support@freya.art still works if you would rather email.
