My art teacher showed me this and told us you were here former student. Her name is Mrs. Gumbrecht. Your art is amazing!

[@drugfreedave]

She's amazing, such a wonderful person and teacher! Be sure to tell her I say hello!! 😊 ♥️

[@kutangelwings]

I had a hard time figuring this out. Thank you for the tutorial

[@drugfreedave]

You bet!! 🤗 🎨

[@gabriellanicolexo]

Took me a few tries, but I got it and I love the results! Tysm!

[@drugfreedave]

Glad you got it! 😊 👍🏾

[@xiiguardian]

This is soooo cool! Thanks!!

[@drugfreedave]

Quite welcome!! 😊 👍🏾

[@yup2602]

YEAH !!!!! Thank you !!!

[@drugfreedave]

You bet!! 🤗

[@kalvinabro7130]

Could you please stess that they must (double tap) cut and paste button if not you will get a new layer but blank💯💯💯

[@drugfreedave]

Yeah? 🤔 I'll have to re-watch the video and check it out! 👍🏾

[@nahirango]

Thanks dave.

[@drugfreedave]

You bet! 😊 👍🏾

[@Darealog963]

That’s crazy this one worked better than the updated

[@kalvinabro7130]

Must ( Double Tap ) cut and paste 💯💯

[@drugfreedave]

Will check it out! 👍🏾

[@hawraahusain235]

Thank u🙏🏻😊

You bet! Thanks for swinging by the channel! 😊

I’ve tried multiple times and my layer will just duplicate without the words, only the photo. Also it causes my app to crash…

[@drugfreedave]

Hmm. Try making a text layer and a layer that is filled red. Type a word. Tap the text layer and hit select. Hide the text layer. Go to the red layer and 3 finger swipe down and tap cut & paste. You should have a red word on a new layer above. Do the same with a photo instead of a red layer 👍🏾

[@taylorsimpkins2455]

@@drugfreedave nope, empty layer

[@drugfreedave]

@@taylorsimpkins2455 still not there if you hide the original red layer? (The duplicated word will be the same color red)

[@drugfreedave]

@@taylorsimpkins2455 send me a msg on fb or IG, I'll take a short video

[@jossyxxhig3209]

Same thing is happening to me. I’ve been trying for 30 minutes and it keeps crashing

[@DJPaulgee1]

Wy didn't you just use cliiping mask to clip the image to the text layer ?

[@drugfreedave]

Clipping mask fries my brain for some reason. I don’t like things clipped and attached. I like to commit a layer underneath with no chance of accidentally unclipping at a later point.

[@CharrCrail]

Tried it over and over again and doesn’t work. Can’t even imagine what I’m doing wrong. :(

[@drugfreedave]

If possible, record a video of what goes wrong and post it here:Dave's FB Procreate Group: facebook.com/groups/ProcreateDrawingTutorials/?ref=share , we'll figure it out 👍🏾 it could just be you have a certain selection in your transform or selection tool

[@kaylaknotts3]

When I click select on the text layer then try to click the image to cut it deselect the text 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😩 any ideas on what could be wrong?

[@drugfreedave]

Hey! Hmm.. Tap the text layer, and hit select. Once the text is selected, tap the image layer (you can tap any layer or make a new layer, it shouldn't deselect unless you tap the screen) try just tapping the image layer so that layer is now highlighted!

[@drugfreedave]

Feel free to shoot me a video on fb messenger or IG showing the issue if that doesn't work and I can figure out how to make it work for ya! 😊

[@merakiclients1969]

@@drugfreedave Mine is doing the same thing that she said. Was there a resolution for this issue?

[@drugfreedave]

@@merakiclients1969 I'm not sure actually.. If you can, explain your scenario so I know the steps you're doing. You tap your text layer and hit "select" then open the layer menu again and tap on your image layer (so it's blue).. It just deselect the text??

[@gabriellanicolexo]

The same thing happened to me but I kept creating new artworks and trying again and eventually, it works

[@cristobalgonzalez3026]

I’ve tried this for 3 days and it just makes the app freeze or crash

[@drugfreedave]

Check out my recent video, it may be more clear! I decided to do that tutorial again, but more simple 👍🏾

[@erikahenry3190]

I’m having the same problem as everyone else. Super frustrating.

[@drugfreedave]

I'm going to make another video doing the same type of thing, hopefully I'll explain it a bit better!! 😊

[@snowmantkmc]

The mouth noises will drive you nuts

[@drugfreedave]

Thanks. Yeah I hate these old videos when I was figuring things out

Thanks for the comment!! 🐯 🐯 💪🏾

[@heleneholm7059]

Does not work for me 🤯 maybe he has iPad Pro !? I just have a normal one…

[@drugfreedave]

It definitely works! You most likely have something selected or an option chosen in your selection menu!
