Procreate Tips For Beginners

[@allen4243]

UPDATE: The streamline option got changed the 5.2 update. It’s under stabilization now. Also smoothing/stabilization.

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

I hate that they move it bc everyone asks this. Thank you for commenting this lol

[@Reconizable]

its under stabilization now

[@epiczizzle]

I’ve been using procreate for over a year professionally and I just learned from this video that when you select you can hold the select to zoom out and not zoom the image. I had to watch the rest to see if I had somehow not learned something else as obvious as that. Amazing video, this will be a great workflow boost.

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Awesome! So glad it was helpful. There are so many hidden features. If you find anything cool feel free to comment it!

Can you send me procreate through drive or telegram

[@BlackDragonQueen]

As someone who apprenticed in tattooing, that bit about translating liner sizes to brush size percentage.... *extremely* helpful

[@vivianefortin8615]

As a teacher myself, I recognize how skilled you are to explain things clearly and efficiently. Bravo !

[@null_subject]

2 additional tips I have not seen (but may have been) mentioned: 1. Using "Automatic Selection" works like the "Color Drop" aka "Fill" option you've showcased. If you hold you finger on the area instead of letting go, a threshold slider will appear at the top of the screen. Adjusting this threshold will allow you to select how much "tolerance" the automatic selection has, or how much space the color fill should occupy when not given a solid boundary. Also, selection tools can be combined for better results (use automatic for a rough selection, refine with freehand). As far as I am aware, this feature was present in the app when this video was made. 2. When selecting brush size, you can tap on the handle, and in the size preview that pops up, click the top right + icon. This allows you to set various size presets, and get back to them quickly. This would really help the workflow described in the video (where few size values are used). I believe this feature was added after the video.

A tip for the same drawing Lets say your drawing a face, Add a new layer, draw your eye. Duplicate the layer, use the curser selection tool, flip the eye and you can move it the side

I only downloaded Procreate today; so I'm a complete beginner. I cannot thank you enough for a superb introduction. Everything about it is great - what you demonstrate, how you do it - all great. Thank you very much!

[@kirsteenlovell1049]

Three days in and this is by far THE most informative and straightforward video yet. Tapping the pencil twice for eraser or pencil...Genius! Thank you for making my life that bit easier.

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

That’s awesome ! Glad it was helpful !

[@teiaboynton5295]

@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial can I ask what stylus you use for procreate? Also what size iPad would you recommend?

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

@@teiaboynton5295 it is the Apple Pencil, and I like the 12.9 iPad Pro, but that’s just bc im designing tattoos all the time. You could use the smaller ones and it work great!

[@kiketsu]

Oh wow. I really wish I'd found your vid last year. it would've saved me from so many headaches. This really is the best and most comprehensive guide to Procreate that I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much!

[@grace2724]

omfg I literally downloaded procreate like 20 minutes ago just so I could start learning to draw my own tattoos and after watching a video on the basics, this was the next suggestion! The universe must be telling me this was a good move lol

[@asp7690]

I've watched a ton of Procreate tutorials and none have been as clear and helpful as this one. Subscribed immediately. Thanks a billion!

[@mrsaraujo86]

Omg!!! I’ve seen so many videos trying to get pointers for BEGINNERS...and I can say that your video was the best!!! So happy I found it!!

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Glad it was helpful for you !

[@KimberlyPinkney]

Depending on your settings you have a max limit of layers, just learned that grouping layers still counts toward max limit of layers. ie if your max layers are 16 and you group 15 on one layer with 1 layer ungrouped, it will not allow you to add a 17th. Even if you group them all onto one, still cannot add 17th.

[@LoudNoob]

I merge them once I know I no longer need them on a seperate layer. A good tip is to start at a lower resolution, 300+ dpi still, when you are ready to finish you can merge layers as necessary and resize the canvas (resample canvas) and make the resolution higher as you need less and less layers, finishing on the highest resolution for crispier detail work.

[@wglasg2176]

If you start out using the A4 canvas, it is 8”x11” and I believe I was told either it has unlimited layers or that it has the most layers available.

[@superelectic45]

So what you are saying is that if you can only have16 layers then you can't have 17.

[@cranksinatra7810]

For real thank you!!, one of the only tutorials and youtubers I don't have to watch in 2x speed. Straight to the point 🙌

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

[@viri.artiste]

You go fast, but not too fast, and my adhd brain really appreciates that! Normally I'm zoning off halfway through a tutorial like this. Kudos!

[@kabirqirati1160]

I like this tutorial because he kept it short and to the point instead of rambling on about one feature as if he was doing a podcast making me lose interest ... He made important points , showed how it was done and moved on ... That is how a tutorial should be ... Excellent work 👏🏻❤

[@JoshuaBSams]

Really great tutorial. The first one I’ve watched that actually went enough beyond “Open procreate” but not get lost in the weeds at an appropriate level.

[@ilianag1311]

Probably the best procreate tutorial I’ve seen! Teaching the important stuff! Thank you for making this

[@marcusandrew1047]

My prayers have been answered I was HOPING you’d do another procreate tutorial since your last procreate video. THANK YOU TYLER. You’re so helpful and informative with the way you break things down in layman terms 🤟🏼

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Yess! Glad to see prayers answered ! No problem. Thanks for the support.. And I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone spell out “layman terms” and not just say it.. so thank you for that first experience lol

[@marcusandrew1047]

Honored to be your first. I would love to see your shading process in procreate. What brushes you use. More specifically what you use to achieve “grey wash” shading to translate into your actual tattoo.

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Marcus Andrew I honestly don’t really shade in procreate. I just mostly use it for stenciling. But if I were to I would use one of the airbrushes

[@jackfulscher7273]

Great video!!! I’ve been tattooing for over 30 years & I am always pushing myself to learn more & new things...I’m seriously glad I found your KZbin channel & I have learned something from everyone one of them!!!

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

[@natsax6351]

OMG!! you're the only one showing how to set the opacity for a layer, I saw 5 videos looking for that tip.

[@1tsmeeth]

Beginner or advanced, this is the best procreate video ever!

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Appreciate that!

[@fr2331]

Great tutorial. One old comic book artist tip I'd give is to do your sketches in a light blue (non-photo blue) color. That way when you're doing your final layer you don't have to turn your sketch layers on and off as much as your final blacks are easily discernible from your sketch.

[@Tiggerinas]

I’m not into tattoos at all, but in my opinion you could make a good living doing exactly what you’ve shown us here! So informative and succinct. Thank you and well done!

[@JMulvy]

Correction: Procreate's ability to do large canvases and layers is directly related to how much RAM your iPad model has. The less RAM the less # of layers allowed for larger canvases. You can group a bunch of layers together but you may still need to flatten that group before being able to add layers. Again, depending on the size of the canvas. You can not add layers to a canvas indefinitely. Additional tips: you can hold down a double or triple tap to undo/ redo a series of steps without having to tap for every single step. The S is the "selection tool" and the Arrow is the "move tool". When something is selected you can use a three finger back n forth swipe to clear the selected pixels from that layer. The same gesture you did for the perfect circle can be used with lines to make them snap to 15° angles. Easy grouping: with one layer selected, tap and slide right on other layers to select multiple. At top of layers panel you will now have a new option to group or delete. I love Procreate!

[@3ricull]

I just got my iPad Air 4 with the Apple Pencil wanting to get back into my artistic side and keep my mind off things and occupied. Upon installing procreate, it was a foreign language, but man did this guy kill this tutorial! You made this learning process a hell of a lot easier. Big preesh on this one man. I owe you a beer!

I used to like drawing and stuff like that in High School but haven't done any of that in ages. I'm buying an iPad Pro and Pencil specifically for Procreate. The digital art world is so cool. I'm not a big Apple fan in terms of phones or laptops. But the iPad and Pencil in particular are such cool pieces of tech that have no equal.
