This was super helpful. The drawing guide double tap for switching was what I needed. Also masking and many others. Will be rewatching to master all the other tips. Awesome video and thank you heaps for the tips 🙌😎

[@HenryGao]

Thanks Timothy! The double tap on the Apple Pencil is great, isn't it.

[@unfortunatelyunfortunate5777]

how do you enable it

[@jannettedelrio7757]

Great Video, very informative! learning a lot just by watching here! I am a little bit confused about masking tool. I know only basics of photoshop, that's why...But anyway, I will definitely re-watch this over and over. Thanks a lot!

[@puipuiismontage276]

i've been watching your videos for awhile now and its been helping me a lot in my semester design problems and adjusting to procreate!! your channel is still so underrated considering the quality content but i'm sure its gonna grow so much more. Looking forward to more videos :D

[@HenryGao]

Hi! Thanks for leaving me a note and letting me know my channel is helpful to you in school! I love teaching this stuff and hopefully you can teach other's when you've mastered everything as well. Where do you study by the way?

[@mariapinto3560]

Henry, I love that your videos are so concise since that are so chock full of information and I need to watch several times it's great that there's not chit chat to go through. On another note just discovered Tony Lai and Maggie Chan's miniatures. I'm guessing you're familiar with them, but just in case...

[@HenryGao]

Hi Maria, thanks! No I have not heard of them but thank you for the recommendations.

[@ekaetefujah]

Very useful. Particularly the Quickmenu. Thank you

I use it often!

Amazing! I’ve been using Procreate for about 6 months and I think you just doubled my knowledge!😅

[@HenryGao]

Great to hear!

[@trkx444]

Very useful features. Thanks for sharing. It would be good if you could make a video on your thought process on how you generate shadows to make your perspective renderings appear more three dimensional.

[@HenryGao]

I am sure it's in another video I have made

the dumbed down interface aggravtes me so much. wish they just let you use apple pencil on a mac

[@_time.to.fish_]

Bro thank you so much... What İpad are you using in this video?

[@anacampos7162]

Hello, I just bought an iPad believing it would make my student life easier but I just found myself troubled looking for architecture tutorials with iPad apps, thanks to your videos I’m starting to learn how to use my iPad for an architectural propuse. I would love to learn how to color plans to put them on a presentation as well as some tips to make perspectives for a portfolio maybe with procreate? I’m really looking forward to watch more videos in your channel.

[@HenryGao]

You got it Ana, I will make a tutorial on coloring technique and strategies for Procreate in the future. Stay tuned!

[@gloria57100]

Liked it all - need to understand how the eyedropper works to find colors from photos - but I understand you are just showing us what we can do - no necessarily how to do it. Thanks

[@HenryGao]

Easy to figure out!

[@SlSTERS1305]

Please explain how to do the double tap switch for the assisted drawing feature on the Apple Pencil? I went to settings but none of them worked.

[@igo2054]

Now I can avoid making dots using my finger while zooming out/in thanks for the tip this accidental dots where driving me crazy.

[@HenryGao]

Igor, glad you discovered this trick! How very annoying if there was no work around.

[@alfredchan8782]

Great video, really helpful. Do you have a metric template package?

[@HenryGao]

Hi Alfred, not at the moment. Sorry!

[@fatimabouhoud8836]

Hi please what kind of tablet i need to start architectural digital sketching

[@Arquitaki]

Hello and thank you only Apple Pencil right?

[@futpot3897]

I am very much interested in your mat

[@emmerbo531]

In relation to the custom color palette tip, there is also a way to create a color palette automatically from a photo by clicking New Palette then clicking New Palette from Photo, Hope this helps!

[@HenryGao]

Yep that’s a nice tip!

[@dalescott3942]

Hey Henry, have you used CONCEPTS app? I find it more architecturally user friendly and had a decent scale tool - its vector based so generates crisp clean lines. It’s layer management isn’t as good as procreate. Morpholio has the best scale ruler tool

[@HenryGao]

I have tried it and don’t need it

[@rex.dgalanta2072]

How can you change double tap to assisted drawing? It would be very helpful to know :)

[@HenryGao]

Look into gesture control

[@alexiskov6709]

Thanks so much for the time lapse tips, especially the private photo!! My time lapses will look so much better now without the reference photo flashing in the background!

[@HenryGao]

haha, glad that was a helpful tip!

[@rbutthamilton]

Henry, do you use a matt screen protector or sketch directly on the glass?

[@HenryGao]

Absolutely! It’s essential. I have a link to the product in description.

[@zacknicholson9731]

How do you change the double tap settings on your pencil to toggle between drawing assist?

[@HenryGao]

You can find this option in the gesture control panel

[@zacknicholson9731]

@@HenryGao Got it. Thanks!

[@akanshagupta5586]

hey i can't switch while grid assistencce on

[@luke0b708]

This was a great vid, very interesting. Do you have a suggestion for an android app? Sadly, Procreate isn't available for android.. (Liked + Subbed)

[@HenryGao]

I hear concept is an good alternative. Looks great from what I can tell.

@@HenryGao thanks brother

Is there an android alternative?
