How To Use Procreate For Beginners (and everything I use it for)

[@petrapijl-hamelink5195]

Here is a little tip: if you tap your screen with two fingers, you undo your last move. Tap with three fingers and you redo the last move. Very quick and easy!

[@frenchieboost]

Petra Pijl-Hamelink thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@diygirls2146]

Since u r top comment what is better procreate or procreate pocket?

[@jxicy.scheme4986]

Its like ibispaint!

[@LocalShortie]

Got an iPad and procreate not too long ago, and I’m still trying to understand how to use it well enough for my own art….the switch from traditional to digital is so much harder than I thought it’d be. Respect to all my digital art friends. Thank you for this!!

TIP: when you go on to your layers, if you click on the little N, you can adjuts the opacity of the layer instead of having to go all the way to the other side of the screen. Hope this helps as a little shortcut!

Its so hard to find a tutorial for people new to art in general. However, yours was great! You explained everything perfectly and gave examples as to when to use the different tools etc.

[@janesnider1443]

Great video! Thank you for the tips! One thing I would recommend is to always export as a PNG because it uses lossless compression. JPEG uses lossy compression, so every time you email it, edit it, text it or pretty much anything, the quality will decrease (this is supposedly to save storage space, but really has no other benefit). PNGs may be a little bit of a larger file size, but they will stay the same quality that you exported it at!

Just a little tip: you can take a screenshot simple by swiping the pencil from the left bottom corner up 👌 good vid, thx for tutorial

[@Vasaloloa]

You can also change the opacity by opening up the layers, selecting the layer you wish to fix, and click on that little “N”. There, you can change the opacity, as well as change the look of the colors used on that layer. For example, if you select “Add”, it will brighten up the colors and create an almost glowing, neon effect (tip: it’s great for adding highlights!). Another example is, “Multiply”. “Multiply” will create a darker color than the one used in that particular layer, but it will be transparent and will sit nicely over colors underneath that layer (tip: it’s great for shading!).

15:55 when she’s talking about changing the opacity of the cat so she can draw over it.....i don’t have an option for opacity In the wand. I’ve made sure everything else is replicated but I can’t find it. Any help??

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

I have an IPad nd the pen but had no idea what software to use for art! Thank you so much for the overview of what I need.

[@eudymaverickmentor]

I think this is a great overview of Procreate. There is one fundamental flaw in the video which might confuse some of your viewers. Which is when you make your canvas. The canvas size you selected is very low resolution. Which means the illustration you create will not produce satisfactory results if you want to print your illustration. Raster images cannot be scaled up and maintain their image integrity. So if all you are going to do is leave the image in the digital realm and don't want to show it larger, then what you did is ok. But if you want to be able to see all the detail in an illustration or want to produce a print, your settings will not produce quality imagery.

I know this comment is super old but what size would you recommend?

[@eudymaverickmentor]

@@brass9787 Hi Brass. Well, that is controlled by what size you want to print the piece. For example, if you were wanting to print something large, say poster size, it would need to be something like 18 in by 24 in @ 300 dpi. Print resolution standard is 300 dpi. So just determine how many inches the print will be and then just make sure the dpi is set to 300.

How did you get perfect curves when you were drawing your cat?

Who knows lol

[@theamytivillehorror]

I think she had Streamline turned on which helps guide you

[@arshvirsingh9412]

Thank you it’s been my first time using it.

Thank you for this video! I purchased the app and I didn't find it very intuitive. Now I feel ready to use it 😁

[@cherireeves9848]

Thank you so much! I have the app and bought a tutorial on Udemy that was way beyond my understanding. Yours was very helpful in that you taught it in such a straightforward manner, I was able to go back to the Udemy video and it finally made sense! Absolutely LOVE the calligraphy stuff and the shape tool! Thank you for covering so many of the tools as well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😁

[@aiartgifts]

As a total newbie to Procreate this video helped me a lot to see how to get started using the app and the sorts of things I can create. Your directions are clear and presented in a way that's easy for me to understand. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!

[@fenderchick121]

TIP: streamline is now in the stabilization tab in version 5.2 . Adjust stabilization to get same effect to straighten lines

[@99giorgi]

Thanks :’)

[@dominiqueruppen5721]

for opacity, open the correspondant layer, tap with two fingers on it, then swipe to the left or right to change opacity (credits to Taylor Design Studio 9-24-20)

[@howfunny5162]

Thank you so much!

[@BenWillBarrows]

Or: open the layer menu and tap on the icon or letter next to the checkmark of the layer and a menu will open with opacity slider at the top.

[@arunachugh]

Thank you so much. It’s very helpful tutorial. Cute baby and Mama. 👌👍

[@carmenr6135]

I see people drawing a circle free hand and it turns into a perfect circle automatically- is that using this app?

[@pepe-je2jz]

Yes if you draw a shape then when you finish keep your pen/finger still for a moment then it’ll turn perfect

[@frozesprinklesunicorn6870]

Can this still work if u don’t have a pen?

[@carmenr6135]

frozesprinkles unicorn yup it seems to work for me

[@carmenr6135]

[@-froggangsta-9038]

Thank you so much this is super helpful I’m getting procreate for my birthday and it looks pretty cool tho I think I’m ready to use it cuz I’m not that bad at drawing so ye can’t wait XD

[@paintingtheskykingdom9005]

Yay, Emma! I have bought an ipad air and got procreate early in the year but have never gotten around to taking a tutorial. But since it is you and I know how you are so good at explaining watercolor, I have finally watched a tutorial and should be able to start using this app. Thank you so much!

[@audreyspivey1847]

Do you have to pay for it because I do not know which one it is.

[@Slaymusty]

Yep you got to pay pay
