Thank you very much for your videos, little question on this particular one, how to adjust the light on the face? As the light is coming from the tree trunk side so this side of the face should be brighter, many thanks.

[@kaelynneseta8917]

love this video! followed along two times with different projects I've worked on. I was wondering if you would mind doing a a tutorial on how to get rid of any imperfections for photoshopping using procreate on photoshoot pictures?

Excellent video! Wish I’d seen it before altering two phones of my son and wife with glasses, it was hard removing the glare, but turned out better than I thought. I learned new things here. Thank you so much!

[@virginiajensen29]

I enjoyed watching your travel to the tropics. The tutorial was a bit lacking on the step by step information that I need as a beginner. Thank You for making this video.

[@MsYorkie007]

Newbie to Procreate~ trying to copy background of photo and importing it then cutting out image so I can put in my drawing in the layer. This video is excellent. Thank you and you’re presentation was awesome. 😄

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Love this brother, super helpful thankyou. I’m not using this to trick my friends as I travel a lot, I have been to Iceland twice in your summer time. it’s an amazing place, I was amazed by how strong the winds were when driving around the country and I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 so extreme weather is not something new to me. 😁 thank you for this video 👍

[@batal0538]

[@selenitafm]

Thanks I was searching a non destructive way to do that! You are very clear explaining

[@anrogers13]

Thank you! This was so helpful!

[@jblevi100]

Goat video, I didn’t even know procreate could do this I was searching for other apps that were just as complicated or costly. Thanks bro 🙏🏾

[@sophieloureiro1015]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@Brokehosh1t]

Thanks, lots of help!

[@stetreault911]

Great stuff

[@bestrickie2]

Excellent tutorial.

[@oddballchic]

Wow, this cleared up a lot of questions I had, thank you!

[@ninac9394]

does it only work if you take a picture with the iPad? Or is it possible to upload from the camera roll?

[@Bohemian-Nilda]

Wow! Great job! But I’m too lazy and don’t have the patience that you do to work through all those meticulous steps when I have Photoshop to accomplish it all in less time. But it’s really good to know that you can change backgrounds with Procreate! (I’m a Procreate newbie! Just purchased the app today! 4/22/22) BTW, you look great in that photo! Super handsome! Thanks for your awesome tutorial!!!!!

[@KDZWORLD876]

Very good tutorial

[@sudhakarjain1299]

Very nice tutorial

[@captainxchellie]

This was perfect and so helpful - thank you 🙏🏼

[@leyva4724]

Great video 💯👌🏽

[@jazminreyes7393]

Do you recommend masking the image first then investing and erasing? For backgrounds with a lot of details like mine -.-

[@chrissymcgirt4667]

Thank you so much for the cloning tutorial. I have a painting Im doing with a long wooden fence and have tried copy and paste with alot of issues. Now I anxious to try it.

Hello do you know if there is a way that I can be using a photo backdrop while I am trying to take a photo. I remember apple had this but removed it for the Catilina update in the photo booth app and have been trying to find a way I can get the photo backdrops back or find a better solution

[@pixelatedrevolt17]

How do you destructively delete a background?

[@Fiestafunjumps]

Hello , u have any videos on how to convert images and vehicles into vector and SVG files in black and white ?? I have the procreate on iPad I’m new at this thanks

[@ArtandDesign]

Procreate doesn't support SVGs, but it's possible to do this with some apps on the iPad. I haven't researched this in any detail, but if you find a way, I'd love to hear it!

[@goo4450]

cool! I didn't know you could do this with procreate.

[@linda1541]

It was cool to learn that Procreate could do this. I would use Affinity Photo for this type of work. But I’ll try it in Procreate.

[@danmaodi3940]

Hi, I would like to add a portion of the inserted photo into my existing artwork (which will appear as a background), could you geve me a bit of hint,? Thanks! Dan

[@MsAston007]

Great explanation. How about some animation tutorials

[@mwinner101]

I like to use the MagicEraser app. It works pretty well. Then edit the image with Procreate.

[@ArtandDesign]

Interesting! Is that for ipad?

[@mwinner101]

Art and Design Yes. iPhone and iPad.

[@mwinner101]

Art and Design ...and it’s free. 👍

[@rajilifeable]

Wow

[@annasurgan867]

Cool video !!! Thank you for great content!! Want to remove myself back to Iceland in real life ))) so sad I can’t do it with Procreate ))) 😄☺️

[@mrsalilucas]

hello, your videos are great. I'm wondering, can you take this lesson one step further and tell me how to make your photo, now with an invisible background, have NO background? as in PNG Often I just want to 'cut' out a piece of a bigger picture and just save that selection as its own image/shape, while deleting the rest of the image.....

[@mariacristinabustos3424]

Jajaja excelente!😊

[@stetreault911]

Great stuf

[@mentorstudio]

Wonderful instruction. Are you a teacher at Skillshare?

[@dynasticpig3759]

Why does it matter

[@ajm1971]

I want to do it from a screen shot but it won’t let me

[@michaelross5674]

I have a picture of a tattoo someone wants.... But picture is on someone's arm so it's wrapped around. Is there a way to add 3 pictures into one... To make it look flat to make a tattoo stencil

[@CLSEXY.53]

U have a nice iPad I got 5 th gen

[@hecthur4635]

i tried the "mask" part but it didnt work for me, i clicked mask then it turns white

[@dianecrispino8726]

[@GratefulThird]

Love your videos. I needed to know how to do this today - thank you!

[@jos7870]
