Feel bad for the comments saying they dont have procreate or an ipad bc i just got both and i remember all the years i was dying to get an ipad and never did. I hope for everyone who relates to this you will get all of it soon

I watched 6 hours of tutorials yesterday after getting the app. Each one was yes kinda helpful but it was like a college teacher was teacher Albert Einstein. This was amazing to say the least! No unnecessary info but at the same time enough detail to get someone started. Thank you! Wish I saw this earlier

So I’m a traditional artist and I’m just getting into digital art media. I’ve been drawing old school FOR YEARS! I just can’t keep up with the digital stuff no more and I’ve made the move to start. This was some of the most informative and easy introduction to procreate I’ve seen. I Just want to thank you and I hope to learn more as I expand my art abilities and knowledge.

[@magicalfetus1231]

I got procreate yesterday and had no idea what I was doing/how to do anything. I tried watching all these tutorials but none of them helped and I just got even more confused-This really helped me understand how it worked a lot. Thank you for making this!

[@InkRebellion]

Really interesting comment @Magical fetus

[@jamesthrift6194]

I am terrible with technology and my wife got us an iPad and this Procreate program. Very overwhelming for me. This video was incredibly helpful! Thankyou! I actually took notes.

[@luma_llama]

So happy to hear that!

[@SunshineSyl]

Me too @James Thrift!!!

[@NemizaGoddess]

This is one of the best beginner tutorials I've seen so far. It covered everything important quickly and efficiently. I find that a lot of "beginner" tutorials tend to venture into covering more advanced stuff, or covering a single feature longer than needed, or sometimes, you'll come across someone saying "I haven't figured out this feature yet, but you can play around with it yourself" (this baffles me the most lol). Anyway, thank you so much for making this video.

[@InkRebellion]

Great comment, Hope you're enjoying Procreat Natalie

[@perrysrawsoul]

I don't even have procreate and I watched the whole thing as I was mesmerised

[@asya6262]

As a traditional artist, The thought that you can use the clipping mask to just paint on specific places are just crazy to me!

[@cloudycafe]

I know! It's kind of like masking fluid but digital 😆

[@nainikatd1187]

This was the first video I clicked on and I expected that I’d have to watch 10 more before I felt ready to use Procreate, but now I feel like I’m set to start :D Thanks!

[@yesartz]

Same hehe

[@dia21534]

I feel the same! I think tutorials should always be made like this when they say 'easy and quick' but they rarely are...

[@travelingpsychicsupperclub5015]

This is the first vid I clicked on and so glad. Saved so I can watch on my phone while using procreate on my iPad. Thanks for a perfect vid

Seriously. This is the best video about procreate - you have explained every feature very precisely. No time waste great job bro.

[@dia21534]

This was so simple and really on point without overexaggerating your explanation! I ordered my iPad today and I'm already looking forward to this handy programm! I used SAI with a bamboo tablet but compared to the SAI UI, Procreate is so much easier to look at and feels much more organized imo. Can't wait to try it!

[@racheldoane1492]

I clicked around in the color palette area for so long looking for the color picker. Thank you lol. All of this is so helpful. Procreate is awesome but the possibilities are almost overwhelming for me as I transition into digital art after years of just creating art in real life. It’s strange to be a very confident artist and then enter almost an entirely new dimension where you haven’t yet figured out how to transfer your skills. Looking forward to learning more from you.

[@ugochichuka-ipere4119]

Great video! Very helpful :) Do you have any tips for changing the pressure sensitivity of brushes? My Apple Pencil doesn’t seem to pick up when I’m pressing harder or lighter on the tablet

[@luma_llama]

If you go to Prefs in Procreate, there is a section called "edit pressure curve". However, it should detect the pressure by default, so something may be wrong with the Apple Pencil. Try using the Studio Pen brush, and see if pressing lighter gives you thinner lines vs. pressing hard. If it doesn't, even after adjusting the pressure curve, then I'm afraid it's a hardware problem. Are you using a generation 2 Apple Pencil with a newer iPad? Only certain iPads are compatible with certain generations of Apple Pencil.
