PROCREATE - Top 10 Features for Beginners

[@GeeklingNo1]

I'm a visually impaired graphic designer and having a gray tone background is not only a lot less stress on my eyes but it also lets me see all ranges of colors a LOT easier. Recommend!

[@JNRuark]

Love the way that the screen shows which tip you are demonstration. Makes it so much easier to locate areas of interest when playing the video back later.

[@PaulaBean]

Tip #0 would be 'how to undo' ;-)

[@HeyItsEmilyLove]

The dark background to save battery life is smart! Thank you!

[@winnieg100]

It’s great. I will have to watch it several times for each tip. Thank you

[@marcodimario9918]

U’R a GREAT teacher! My congrats :) Very clear and very informative.

[@mossycobbIe]

This video is so informative, and really I don’t know why this doesn’t get more recognition. I paid for procreate a good 4 or 5 months ago, but I’ve actually downloaded other apps to do things that I thought procreate would take care of, not really knowing how to use it. After I watched this video, I was able to use procreate to its full capacity, delete unnecessary apps, and take advantage of this program that I paid for. Thank you so much!

[@ghostpaper]

That’s so great to hear Mikael!! Welcome to the channel - there are so many more tutorials waiting for you here! 👍✨

Excellent set-up demo, your videos are very informative so great for a beginners. It’s great that they are up to date with v4.3, it’s harder when done with older versions, thank you

[@pinktreestudio5324]

Thanks for all the excellent tips 👍🏻 I especially like Tip #1. I didn’t realize that a darker background saves energy. I think it will also be easier on my eyes.

[@kristyl933]

Thank you for your very informative videos. I am a Procreate beginner, and first read through the handbook, thinking I knew everything about it, until I thankfully discovered your tutorials, explaining all the techniques of Procreate in a very user-friendly way. 👍🏻😃

Thanks a lot, I’ve just started to use Procreate and I’m very lucky I met you :)

[@biniforlife7968]

I Love u so much , you blow my mind 😭😭😭😭

[@LeonardPutra]

Great tutorial, I’ve learn a lot. AFAIK, displaying darker color on iPad does not impact the battery life, because all iPad models (up to the new 2020 Pros) uses LCD technology, so no observable difference in battery life going from full white to full black.

[@SamsFootballFreestyle]

good tips also love the lighting

[@playszz]

I JUST SAW BLOOD LIKE FEW SECONDS AGO U SAVED ME COZ PROCREATE TYSM 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@MartonMerritt]

thank you for the awesomely educational content!! Tip 9: when i do the “select” option, its control panel appears at the bottom, as shown in this video. However, i do not get the crosshatching effect. Has Procreate perhaps updated this? Cheers!!

[@badp0ny]

Great video. Thank you.

[@patriciacoveney1]

That was a very clear and helpful set of tips, thank you. I have one question though, what,if any is the advantage of using the select layer tool as a mask rather than using a clipping layer on top?

[@ghostpaper]

patricia coveney hi Patricia I think they are both good methods - the pro about the clipping mask is the ability to tweak the mask as you go, as the mask lives in the top layer of whatever you are painting underneath. The select layer will only give you a mask once as you paint - but the pro about the select layer is that say you need to add shadows to multiple layers in your illustration- you will be saving lots of new layers by using the select tool on each layer you want to add shading but then you can paint your shadows all in one top layer, for example. It’s tricky to explain here just in words but I hope that makes sense, hope this helps! Cheers

[@faviolaguzman3848]

Ghost Paper isn’t it easier to use alpha lock on the same layer? Because I use that and it work

[@roblaroni]

Faviola Guzman Well kind of it with separate layers you can not mess up your base layer

[@blademanu7]

Excellent advice 👍

[@mitalikushwaha9311]

first procreate video that solved my problems :)

[@merlet4881]

Thank for clear explanations :) i watched the layers mask alpha lock video it’s amazing

[@fj6518]

Very clear. Now i know why i couldn't fill the colour on the inside of the circle as I didn't choose to slide from the threshold at the top off the app

[@GeeklingNo1]

when you're drawing a shape and want it to be 'perfect' you can tap with your finger while holding down the pen. It makes a perfect circle in seconds!

[@melannieulloa3642]

[@Yayashug1]

🙋🏻‍♀️ hi! I’m new to procreate. Only been trying a couple days. Your videos have really helped! Thanks. Questions....does the pencil matter? And I see you have a brush that is like using an actual pencil. May I ask which you are using? I use mono line. It seems to be the closest I’ve found

[@ghostpaper]

Hi there, and welcome to the channel! For my pencil sketches, I use technical pencil, but there are many great other sketch brushes in Procreate ( look up for my top 5 default sketching brushes in Procreate video) 👍

[@Yayashug1]

@@ghostpaper thanks!!

[@JohnLloydDavis]

I actually learned that I can actually use actually in an actual tuition video, actually :)

"reposition your life" 🤣 some truth to that for all. 🙏

'Great instructions. I love them. I am a beginner (83 years old) and have a problem: i can draw the letter “s” if i draw it very slowly, but not if i draw it quickly. Is there a setting for that?

[@annikaschmid6322]

Hi there! quick question: when i draw a circle and even with the help of having it in the perfect shape by holding the pen on the canvas usually the endinpoint of the circle is quite thick. is there a way to have an even circle without seeing the start/endingpoint? thanks a lot

[@sunnelyons394]

use the monoline brush or one that doesn’t differentiate with pressure

Hello, what is the suggest size for youtube thumbnail please?

how to fill in the color in a complete shape but on a different layer on top of the first shape without closing the whole shape ??

[@cludalton]

what brush is he using on tip 4

[@keennn74]

Why when I press select and choose another layer to colour I can only colour *in the lines/ colour the lines* I can't colour the shape

[@evansarnold6269]

How do you keep multiple geometric color shapes from overlapping? It seems that when I try to align two different colors, it’s very difficult to keep them from overlapping. I would like them to align perfectly if possible. Thank you!

Hopefully Procreate expands into video editing and animation. Would love to completely ditch Adobe.

[@ghostpaper]

You and me both!

[@Stoictico]

Wait someone told me that you can make short animations, is that true? But I agree they should think about that

[@DaTrip2warez]

@@Stoictico My expertise in animations is limited. But, Procreate does have an animation function. I found it pretty time consuming to make a decent 10 second animation. Adobe Animate is just more intuitive and has way more options.

[@D9david]

Maybe slow it down and break up in smaller chucks.
