Thanks for the crib sheet 😎

[@heatherhorsfall9248]

Super helpful

[@achyuu4389]

Theres legit barely any layers for highest quality for me T^T

[@gollypeeters4824]

Thank you !!! This kind of "index" should become standard procedure for the creators of video's ;-) We, the users would gain lots of time !

[@subjectdelta7210]

When I turned on drawing grid it locked me onto a line assist I can’t turn off

[@frolleanne]

Ok, this channel is beatuful. The best teacher. Very efficient way of explain

[@tombuck]

I learned a lot from this! I’ve been stuck in the same setup workflow for the past few years without giving it much thought. Definitely a good idea to create the highest resolution illustrations possible since you never know what you might need them for in the future.

[@ghostpaper]

The Enthusiasm Project I’ve learned tons from your channel as well!!!

[@Carina-2906]

Leo, Thank you so much for all your tips! I love your videos!

[@cheryl5994]

YOU ARE A MASTER , THANK YOU MR GHOST. ✌️😊

[@pallavipandey1055]

I got I pad and landing on ur page....like life saver

[@JoeRoverBooks]

Great tip on holding the section tool button so you can scale the canvas and not just the selected item. It always annoyed me when I added something and had to deselect it so that I could scale the canvas. Thanks!

[@ghostpaper]

Thanks Joe! Have a great day 👍✨

[@sarina1636]

[@ghostpaper]

Welcome to the team!! 👍✨

[@codybradley5652]

Your content is very good and easy to follow. Downloaded your brush set and your guide is so nice. Thank you

[@ghostpaper]

Enjoy! Have a great day

[@JustDebz]

Thank you for making this video Leo. You're amazing.

[@christyklein969]

Hello!! I just found your channel and I’m addicted already!! I’ve been searching and searching for information from someone that I believe really knows what they’re doing and I’m so excited I’ve found you! I’m trying to create a logo in Procreate and I’m really worried about sizing and pixels! Could you please help me with what size you recommend for logos that will work for several different items the logo will go on. Thank you so much for your videos! I hope you’re able to help me because I believe you really know and understand what you’re doing in Procreate!

[@ghostpaper]

Hi there! For logos I would go with at least a 2k resolution, but even better in 4K. Try to work with multiples of 32, so at 2k resolution you would go 2048x2048 pixels, at 4K 4096x4096 pixels. The last thing to know is that if you do make the logo at 4K with very thin outlines, they outlines will look thinner and thinner the smaller you scale that logo into other medias. So be mindful of all that when creating a pixel version of a logo. Good luck!

[@FreeSpokenOne]

Again, all great tips, thank you. I'm going to figure out how to use this app yet. It is still a little confusing for me but once I know where these features are located and what they do I'm off to the races.

[@KonradasDesignCo]

That was life/time saving video! Thank You sooo much buddy!

[@garnetnelson1419]

Just used your code to buy that Apple Pencil ✏️ sticker 🙌🏽💯

[@prosebender]

nice recap of all the helpful features, I didn't know about using a textural overlay!

[@ravenswood118]

I watched so many videos about iPad Pro vs iPad 7th gen for artists videos before purchasing, and ultimately decided the Pro wasn't worth the price tag over what the 7th gen could do. But no one ever talks about the amount of layers in Procreate, etc the iPads can handle.

[@Biddymacp]

brad colbow (brad cowboy) has done some very detailed videos comparing the layer capacity, as well as other pros and cons of different ipads for digital art.

[@loricalass4068]

You’re very helpful.

[@justkailash]

first of all thank you for the tips you are sharing.....please share the link of that pencil cover you are using...

[@SubconsciouS1]

Great advices ! Thanks for your videos : )

[@giangutierrez5109]

I heard you mention about sites and selling art/designs online, do you have a separate video discussing it?

[@ghostpaper]

That’s coming up soon! 👍✨

[@giangutierrez5109]

Thanks!

[@JulesWilliamson]

Thankyou for the tips! Helps a beginner like me with my workflow!

[@chessdude67]

👍✌🏼👍 congratulations on your growing channel! It was just a matter of time and hard work on your part. 👍✌🏼

[@ghostpaper]

chessdude67 chessdude!!! So good to hear from you! You called it man, you knew about it! 👍👍👍 thank you so much for the support since way, way back!!

[@THAER-CO]

What’s your stylus brand ?

[@mari-louiseapsey2665]

Very helpful, thanks!👍🏻😁

[@aaronmweiss]

this is an incredibly informative video, thank you!

[@heidieveliinah]

Thank you very much 🙏🏼💛💛💛

[@curlyshrimp]

This is very helpful! Mostly to the features i really need. Thank you for this!

[@AdeSarp8996]

Thanks for the inspirational video. Btw creating a 4000px x 5000px 300dpi on my iPad 6th Gen can only create 6 layers instead of 22. I reckon it's because of the spec. In that case I guess I should prioritize in creating more layers and keep the dpi in 300, which results in a smaller canvas size?

[@juliannar9376]

Create sketches in a low quality canvas then copy and paste and trace in a high quality canvas

[@laurencantu1282]

Thank you so much!!

[@miryamruizdelope]

me encantan tus videos, me ayudan mucho, gracias

[@TheDoomertron]

Thank you so much for the tips ^_^

[@zettiebernard8459]

I tried to download the two free brushes. I was sent to other addresses for printing but all I want to do is try to use the brushes..Where did they go when they download ....not to my app. I love your videos. They are clear and communicate beautifully… Now I would really like to try those two brushes you designed

[@alewis8914]

They should be in your files ! Use procreate and then click add From the tool button and procreate and then press add files and then you should be able to download the brushes into procreate from there

[@stewartgames6697]

Never knew that you could do a multiply layer in Procreate. You are the tutorial that the program is missing.

[@marmeecruz6191]

Very helpful, thanks a lot!

[@mounikanarendra2261]

This is really amazing👌🏻

[@emanmostafa4602]

Thanks! I have a question I use the iPad pro 9.7 so when I make the canvas size 4000x5000 it gives me only 6 layers what should I do to get good quality and a sufficient number of layers

[@iuvenisignis2984]

thanks you!

[@samaherk9730]

Thank you for this ♥️👏

[@itsdaksha]

Super helpful 😊

[@markjunkersfeld578]

Where did you get your pen skin

[@Tim-jm8nu]

Thank you!

[@Wedow12]

Love your lessons! Thanks.

[@gemlenz]

Off the subject, but I was thinking it would be easier to create a bunch of gradient JPGs in Photoshop and import them into Procreate. Could do that with textures too. What do you think?

[@eddieyoung108]

Hi, thanks for your great tutorials!! 😊

[@glendalisfeliciano2318]

What about a 10.2 screen size?

[@sonia78ish1]

Thanks for this! I’m new to procreate and have noticed that if my drawing goes off the canvas by accident part of it gets chopped off! 😥 Do you have a solution for this...I went to press the back button but it wasn’t an option. Thanks!

[@FredJumayao]

thanks for the great tips!!

[@lucytowbin4713]

The only choice I had was to download the brushes and other files you have for us in Procreate as either fonts or ICC. So I said ICC but I don’t know what that is or where it is.

[@MrSoconVINCEd]

How do i find those brushes

[@ghostpaper]

It’s the first link in the description 👍!

[@Engelhafen]

I’m confused - you need to explain how you imported that texture onto your screen

[@NourishingMystic]

It seems like he had Safari running at the same time, multitasking apps

[@kristinanikl7013]

hello, great video but I ve been always having problem with turning off the grid. My line drawing keep being alligned with the grid even when I turn off drawing assistence. can someone help?

[@ak_alkhalil]

Thank you 😊 Leo 👌

[@ghostpaper]

Akm_Sh you’re welcome!!

[@Elayourfella]

I tried to get the free brushes but when I wanted to add it to the cart, it obligated me to name a fair price! Even worse, I couldn’t type in anything! Can I still get them for free and how? PLEASE HELP! :(

[@ghostpaper]

That's so strange! I do believe you can just put a zero there in the amount :) and then hit enter

[@Elayourfella]

@@ghostpaper still doesn’t work 😞😅

[@mr.momoironezakeco.2955]

I just downloaded placed only a zero it worked

[@wakeboardqatar]

i downloaded and used the free brushes. but how can i import the grids to my procreate

[@gemlenz]

I have a question please. How do I get the ZIP file to Procreate? i downloaded it and unzipped it to my Google Drive (file with BRUSHSET name). When I try to add it in Procreate the filename is grayed out.

[@clarewillison9379]

What happened to the stem base when you flattened the pot layers?!

[@ghostpaper]

Clare Willison oh I know there was a little mistake there but I got it back before the end of the video 😂

[@clarewillison9379]

Ghost Paper it happens to us all!

[@SigridForsythe]

why is it that when I try to input 4000 x 5000 with 300dpi it says I only have 9 layers avail?

[@michachojnowski1313]

Someone can tell me why there are “free” brushes but I need to pay for them?

[@mekifromouterspace]

Michał Chojnowski You just have to put 0 as the value and you can actually download them for free, or you can donate something of your choosing :)

[@lonniandersen5339]

Michał Chojnowski jak i watt to the same

[@ayana8493]

Me not having procreate: 👁👄👁 uh-huh , yep

[@Horace01]

what the heck is dribble

[@cheryl5994]

SEARCH & RESEARCH MY FRIEND, THE ANSWERS ARE WAITING FOR YOU. ✌️

[@johndatri2529]

I don’t understand how you were able to have a split window to drag a paper canvas on to a layer. Explain it like I’m 5. LOL. Thanks.

[@gloriadaniels4629]

I cannot believe how many hoops I was required to get these free brushes even though I donated $2.00 for them and never was able to download them. I won't be back.

[@Totorosh27]

What was the difficulty? You can set it to $0. Easiest is to download directly on the ipad and save into files, unzip and open it in Procreate, that's all you need to do.

[@solomon1053]

Try drawing with only four layers lol

[@arleneoleary7786]

One of the brushes I downloaded, when I draw a circle to fill it it fills the whole page. 🤷‍♀️

[@ravenswood118]

that means it's not closed

[@shmchuck]

Before drop slide pen left or right
