[@SaphInfection]

Likely he saw some really good tutorials that taught him all the basics and routines (basically steps you would be repeating in all similar drawings ig) and after a lot of tries drawing these types of works and doing the same routines over and over again, it became easier to him, and he was able to do it faster thanks to muscle memory and just general experience with the little routines and patterns of drawing that certain type of art. That’s why I have an easier time drawing anime heads now (they’re a bit shotty but a little better than when I started) it used to take me a while to draw them but now they’re just a small part of what I’m about to draw.

[@Your20droid]

I felt that lmao

[@shayytaann]

please try infinite painter

[@asimian8500]

It's 9 months later. Is it easier? Nothing has the feedback of traditional drawing tools, which I prefer. An iPad with a screen protector doesn't have that same feedback. It feels less precise, but with mileage and practice it won't be an impediment. At this point, I can draw as well on an iPad as I can with traditional tools. For painting, I find it significantly easier because of all the digital tools like filters, layers, and blending modes. If you like traditional painting, Rebelle 4 is it as it as reproduces traditional media like oil, watercolor, acrylics, gouache, etc... very, very well.

[@kinzlz]

@@asimian8500 yes it’s definitely must easier now once you’ve understood how everything works , I’ve gotten used to it and starting to get a hold on it too

[@moshlingfan9007]

I've been using Procreate for 3 years and felt like I was never getting any better. This was so helpful. I didn't even think about a matte screen protector.

[@denniadale9549]

The number of layers in Procreate is determined by the resolution and size chosen for the drawing. A low resolution setting will result in way more than 20 layers as you’ve stated. It works the other way around too-high resolution=less layers. You can always check the number of layers available for a drawing in the Canvas menu.

[@SamRulesProductions]

I just want to thank you sincerely for this video. All of them were awesome tips but the one that's helped me the most so far is the suggestion to get a paperlike screen protector. I was shocked, I had no idea those existed, I immediately went and ordered a two-pack online and it has honestly completely changed the game for me drawing on my iPad. It's made drawing more fun like when I was drawing with pencils as a kid and less frustrating without the pen sliding all over the glass. I can't believe I didn't know about that before! Thank you!!
