[@aashijain5514]

thank you so much for this. it really helped me. and the part where sketch layer needs to be on top of color layers saved my life. could you perhaps explain the transparency tool? that lock symbol that appears below eye symbol. thank you for your videos. it's really easy to understand!!

[@rappy6328]

the lock symbol its just locks the layer and you cant draw on it, not really useful but there u go AND when you click the layer you can see “lock layer” and its just the lock symbol. no prob for the help!

I use Procreate mainly but I need to learn a drawing software that can be used on android! I'm looking all over the internet to learn in Sketchbook can allow you to set a layer to reference and fill the shape on a separate layer. basically, I want to know if non-transparent templates can be used on Sketchbook. Thank you for making this video.

[@haq6373]

Nice video......

[@hadartrua5262]

Thank you! Is there a possibility to choose all layers together and make your mashroom bigger? For example..

[@venus6546]

Your tutorials are great, if you'd zoom closer it would be perfect, cause its kinda hard to see the exact details of what you are doing. Thanks alot.

[@EveningTea81]

Thanks for the tutorial. So i sketch with autodesk sketcbook but i want to edit later in adobe illustrator. i wonder if anyone knows how to transfer the works from autodesk sketchbook to adobe illustrator.

[@kennewby01]

Thank you for your vids, they really help. Could you have used the paint bucket tool to fill with colour instead of painting it in? Would this work with this? Thanks

[@pohsstudio7769]

Yes I have a separate video about how to use the fill function

[@sofiyarazvi8085]

Thanks a lot...now it became easy to understand the layers

[@izaiahtheo2654]

I am using the same app as you and I need to do know how you did what you did at 10:17 how you only erased the mushroom without going outside of the shape

[@rashadeirani9463]

Your videos are amazing. They are well explained while still being brief and into the point. Thank you so much for this. I've been using the app for a while and have been struggling with some issues (like the deleted file/ using smudge brushes) and your videos are making everything much easier and clearer. One question through, in your video about blending the colours (the one you used an oval shape in to demonstrate) you were drawing a circle inside the oval shape and once you removed your stylus/ mouse, the circle fixed itself and changed into one without edges or wiggly lines. How did you do it?

[@pohsstudio7769]

Thank you for your comment 😊 happy to know my videos are making a difference to people. I can’t remember how I did it , could you show me where exactly like the time stamp? I’ll go have a look

Could you please do this for the app version? I can’t figure out how to add another image to another layer, whenever I try to there’s no way too from I’m seeing, it asks me if I want to save the layer I’m already on…

[@sathwiksharma3761]

Hi , i tried cherry in sketch book , i guess it came out well...thank u for guidence..but i still didn't get the pen or pencil you are using for outline, when i draw the line it's not smooth when i zoom it..kindly suggest a tip for me

[@pohsstudio7769]

Which pencil are you using? Don’t use the pencil in the ‘Basic’ set, that one gives u rugged lines. Use the pencil in the ‘Legacy’ set, that’s the one I use for smooth lines

Hi, do you know how to paste half a layer? For water reflections

[@pohsstudio7769]

You can decrease the opacity of that layer

[@domtom010]

1:57 I don’t see the dark little window coming up for me when I select the layer. I get a circle of options that show instead and they don’t include all the options that show up for you. I’m using auto desk sketchbook on a windows 10 PC. It’s not the “Pro” version. Any tips?

[@pohsstudio7769]

Desktop version is different from the tablet version. I have a separate tutorial on the desktop version, maybe check that out, I touched a bit on layers there

[@cherylx5984]

Hi! Thanks for this tutorial! Do you have any idea how I can select all layers at one go and scale them down at the same time? I have quite a number of layers now and have no clue how to select all layers together without merging them permanently. :(

I don’t think the app allows you to do that

Is it possible to change the lineart colour in auto desk? I usually draw my linart with black and I have to draw the highlighted regions again with a red tone :(

[@pohsstudio7769]

It’ll be hard to do that if they have already been drawn. The only way to do it is to use the fill function and reduce the tolerance level

[@FBR2169]

Is it possible to move the layers column on the right somewhere else?? I have a habit of accidentally switching the layer with the bottom of my hand while drawing... so i could be spending minutes trying to draw something just to realize its accidentally drawn on a wrong layer :(

[@pohsstudio7769]

No you can’t move the layer column unfortunately. I understand how you feel, sometimes my hand suddenly touches the layering column and if switched to a different layer too! If you’re using a pen you can click on pen mode under preferences and it should ignore effects from finger touching

[@similiaarchitects3191]

Is there a way to select multiple layers and transform them without merging?

Not that I know, sorry

how do I remove the background layer, to have a backgroundless layer of just the drawing to place over a video?

One more question, how can I change the size of a canvas after I've chosen it and drew something on? Like I want to print the artwork in a 4A paper, but the canvas size is less than the needed for it to be printed with good quality. Is there any way to do this in Autodesk?

[@pohsstudio7769]

I don’t think you could change the canvas size after it’s fixed. However another way to do it is to save your artwork as a photo, then import it into a new bigger canvas, then enlarge it?

[@aaelr.740]

Hey, nice video! I was wondering, how do you assign a layer to another layer? For example in this video when you made the shading, did you assign the shading layer to the layer with the mushroom, so the shading only goes on the mushroom and not outside the lineart too? Or did you just erase the shading? Because to me it looked like the second case, so I was wondering if that's the only way to do it.. Since I can't use paint tool sai anymore, I'm trying to use this programme and see if it has the same functions as Sai. And this function in particular is very important 😭 If you can help me I would gladly appreciate it ❤

[@pohsstudio7769]

Hi thanks for the comment, so you create a new layer for the shading and depending on whether it's on top or below your drawing layer, the one on top will be visible

[@aaelr.740]

@@pohsstudio7769 Yes, but how do I make it so that what a draw only applies to the layer below? For example, on layer 1 I draw a heart, and on layer 2 I draw a pattern. If my pattern goes outside the heart, how do I make it so that everything outside the heart is not visible? I'm starting to think that this function is only available in Sai..that's such a shame. I've tried so many times to figure out how to do this but it doesn't work...

[@pohsstudio7769]

Ah so I'm guessing the pattern overlaps the heart and you don't want the pattern to go outside the boundary of the heart shape when you draw ?

[@aaelr.740]

@@pohsstudio7769 Exactly 😅 The thing is that I've seen that you can do this by drawing something on a layer, then locking it. This way whatever you draw after is going to be visible only on what you drew. The problem with this though, is that I obviously can't draw shadows, patterns, lighting eccetera on the same layer..With the other programme I used to create a layer, then assign to this layer as many layers as I wanted (on top of it of course). This way I could draw something on the base layer, then on different layers I could draw whatever I wanted and go back and delete or modify a layer, all without the color to go outside what I drew on that very first layer. But don't worry I guess with this programme it's not possible. I'll try to spend more time on it and see if I find a solution..

[@dioshotpockets3063]

So for some reason mine deleted all my layers ._. It was all there and then when I went back the whole drawing was deleted and I clicked the layers and only one was left which had some background art on it. Is there a way to restore it or find out what happen ._.

[@pohsstudio7769]

Oh no :( I only know that you can restore deleted work but not sure about deleted layers

[@jaiguerrero7654]

How do you move layers or some part of your drawing?

[@pohsstudio7769]

You move layers by tapping holding and dragging the layer. You can also crop your drawings
