I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT, I'M NEW TOO IT'S ANAZING ALL THAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT. ARE YOU GETTING A PENCIL WITH IT? MAYBE A SUPRISE. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY. 🥳
@@cheryl5994 you too, and yes I'm getting an apple pencil. We went with lowest budget with still buying new from apple (iPad 9 and first gen pencil) and i got a mobdik screen protector (10$ for 2). I am waiting very patiently (not 😄) but one concern I have is with my screen protector being pretty rough, I'm worried about the nib getting used up too quickly. Shouldnt be too much of a problem because I'll probably turn down the pressure curve (so I don't have to press so hard to get full pressure motion). I would like to hear your experiences with pressure and nib wear tho!
Here’s a tip for left handed users: If you tap the tiny wrench, tap prefs, and then turn on Right Hand Interface, the brush size menu will switch sides. So it’s easier for left handed people to use.
THANKS CAMI, I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND, MY PARTNER IS A SOUTH PAW SO HE'LL FIND THIS REALLY USEFUL, WHEN I LET HIM GET HIS HANDS ON MY NEW PRIZED POSSESSION. 😁
Procreate also allows you to import multi-page pdf’s. I’ve been using that feature studying vocabulary. I find the annotation options in other apps is overshadowed by procreate. Even beloved apps like GoodNotes doesn’t give me the same smooth writing experience procreate gives me.
@@panda_314 I do it by saving the pdf in a folder (iPad or a cloud service). Find it via the “files” app, open it to get the preview, then right hand corner tap on the square with the up arrow, scroll the top row apps until you see procreate and tap it. Procreate opens and It gets automatically imported. It depends I guess on how much info is displayed, but in my pdfs, the max layers = 129.
These tips are great but I just wanna put it out here that if you drag and drop the layers into the new canvas directly into the layers menu instead of directly onto the canvas it won’t put them backwards they will be in the right order. Hope this helps anyone reading this!
Thanks Brad! Great tips! One aspect of quick shapes took me a while to discover. First you draw a very short line, then hold for a bit until it becomes a straight line. Keeping the stylus down, make it into a long line. You end up with a dotted line. I sketch out a lot of plans for things I want to build, so dashed or dotted lines are useful.
Avid Procreate user here for many years, and there were still a few things in this I wasn’t aware of! 😃 Particularly liked learning about the two-finger taps and holds on the layers to activate opacity and layer selection, as those are tools I use frequently. I’ve only ever used the two finger slide for transparency lock. Nice job, Brad!
Along with create palette from camera, you can also drag a picture from your canvas over to the palette menu, and it will create a palette from the most used colors in that picture.
This is truly a lifesaving video. I’ve been using procreate for about a year and a half and all of these things are useful. I didn’t even know about them. The colour drop thing, the pure white, pure black, pure colour, the fact you can move layers to other canvases if needed. Every single one was useful and I guarantee I’ll be coming back to rewatch soon. THANK YOU BRAD.
Wow, I had no idea about a lot of these!!! Procreate is deceptively simple, but never ceases to surprise! I always learn something new on your channel, it's my go-to for tips and tricks. Even though I've already got my art gear, I really enjoy your tech reviews, too (keeps me up to date for when I need to upgrade someday!). Thanks for all your hard work, and for making it fun! 😀
I just moved to Procreate from 25 years in Photoshop... this is a great little "get up and running" video. The interactions are toooootally different. So watching this gives me an idea of how to fumble around and stumble into new workflows based on how this type of UI differs from a PC environment. Nice work, man!
In procreate there's a quick menu option which you can access by touching or holding on screen and you don't have to lift up your finger you can just slide on the option you want and it's done. You can change the options by holding on them and you can have multiple quick menus just click on the name in the centre. It's the best replacement for keyboard shortcuts :)
Normally, when I watch a video about hidden features in apps I use, I often learn nothing. I love to noodle around in apps and find the little-known shortcuts. But I got at least 10 tips that I didn’t know, and very useful ones at that, about software I’ve been using since launch. Awesome vid!
First things first...I love you. Thank you, because you just taught me more tricks in an 8 minute video than I learned from hours of other tutorials 😂🔥🔥🔥
Ive been using procreate for years and i knew a grand total of 4 of these. You’re a life saver, especially for the last one. The number of times I could have used that!
Would really love for Procreate to port to Android, but barring that, would love to see a video like this for Infinite Painter hidden features. Great video!
Great video, but it also highlights what I find super frustrating about all iOS apps. For example, instead of selecting a bunch of layers and then dragging them across onto the canvas to duplicate, why can’t all apps have a pseudo “right click” where you select, then “right click” by holding down the pencil and opposite hand finger, (or something similar). You would then have the option to cut, copy, duplicate, open in new window etc depending on what app you’re in, instead of memorising a bunch a random gestures for each app. I may be missing something, so please let me know if I am.
와,,, 감사합니다 그 레이어 선택해서 다른 캔버스에 바로 복사하는거랑 브러시 찾는 기능 등등 몰랐던 기능들을 많이 알았네요! 딕션도 또박또박하고 좋아서 영어 그렇게 잘 몰라도 알아듣기 쉬웠어요 감사합니다! Thank you so much! You are so good at explaining. My English is not perfect but i could understand most everything!👍👍
I'm an Android tablet artist (with CSP as my main app), and the closest I tried to Procreate is Infinite Painter (esp with the "stroke auto correction" kinda thing). As much as its a good app, I do wish its UI and QoL features was more like Procreate and honestly its the only thing I'm jealous about the ipad lol. I still really love my Galaxy Tab (which I bought from your reviews!) tho, that I kinda wish Samsung would cooperate with the Procreate team to bring it over to Android haha Edit: Also the demonstration at 2:18 is REALLY smooth, great job!
maybe one of the reason why developer preferring ipad over android is the way you can easily sideloaded pirated app on android. procreate is great app with a lot of superb gesture features for tablet but for me it can't replace csp for my serious workflow and time saving edit: Procreate one time payment is the best part of it, with fairly low price too
Thank you, have been meaning to look up some of these as i got so confused by the color dropping and so on! New to the iPad and thus procrate hehe, Thanks!
My first thought when I read the title of the video was "there will be no hidden feature or any tips I don't know already, as usual in this type of video" but I watched the video anyway because I enjoy any content related to creativity, and I was surprised that there is more than 5 new tips and it was very useful, long pressing on the eraser and smudge tool is what I really needed, thank you very much 💜💜
Great tips... I am very new to procreate and these are all really amazing features... I noticed when you dragged and dropped the layers to another canvas you said sometimes they import in reverse... I know in Adobe software when you copy and paste if you select them top to bottom or bottom to top it will paste them in that order too... Quite possibly this would be the same in Procreate as it seems to have a lot of Adobe influence in its creation...
Good tips, thanks for the video. I can't understand why in Procreate it is not possible to change the brush size with 3 finger swipe. That works with Artstudio and that works with Infinity painter. This flaw was one of the reasons why I switched to Artstudio and rarely use Procreate anymore.
wish i knew about the fine scrubbing on the brush size sooner 😭😭 thanks for these tips brad! huge help! although the 4 finger tap for full screen didnt work for me idk why
My fave tip is that if you alpha lock a layer then color drop onto that layer, you do not need to make an additional selection if all you want to do is color a silhouette or singular shape.
MORE OF THIS , but in the new RUclips "shorts" format! Also organize them on playlist by category, for example "Procreate #shorts- working with layers", "Procreate #shorts - Eraser tips!" etc GREAT VIDEO!
Bruuhhhhhh this is such a helpful video oh my gosh. Thank you for making it so straight to the point and easily explaining it. Amazing video. A lot of fun tips that ive never heard of before ♡♡♡♡ Much love!
Learn a lot from you're video Brad (after your course on udemy) one of the possibilities I miss is the private photo. (and file) sometimes really handy!
When you import multiple layers to a different canvas make sure you open the layer tab on that canvas and drop them there. That way they won’t get reorganised!
3:30 If you're Ibispaint users. I think you're is getting shocked. Because a long time you still draws that background after drawing the characters right?!. I think Procreate is deserved more than professional users because it's really amazing
I’ve accidentally four finger tapped the entire UI away SO MANY TIMES and just tried everything to get it back and succeeded. But never knowing what I did 😂 Happy to finally learn how to do it haha

When you move layers to the new canves ,drop them on layers not on canvas , it will be in right order
My guess is that the layers go on to the new canvas in the order that you selected them.
This is like the only video that actually tells me new stuff lmao- I’m getting procreate for my birthday so your vids are very helpful :)
Same the wait is terrible! Not for my birthday but I bought an iPad and it's arriving in like three weeks.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT, I'M NEW TOO IT'S ANAZING ALL THAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT. ARE YOU GETTING A PENCIL WITH IT? MAYBE A SUPRISE.
HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY. 🥳
@@ninjanoafa8636
3 WEEKS, OMGOSH THAT'S PURE TORTURE. LOL.
THE WAIT WILL BE WORTH IT THOUGH. . . 21 DAYS & COUNTING.

What Ipad model is he using?

So it’s easier for left handed people to use.
Ohhh, that's a good one!
I have only my left arm. And this was a game changer! I know most people don’t know about this so I’m glad people are sharing info like this 😀
THANKS CAMI, I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND, MY PARTNER IS A SOUTH PAW SO HE'LL FIND THIS REALLY USEFUL, WHEN I LET HIM GET HIS HANDS ON MY NEW PRIZED POSSESSION. 😁
What Ipad model is he using?
I’m mostly right handed but prefer to keep my interface on my left…

I’ve been using that feature studying vocabulary. I find the annotation options in other apps is overshadowed by procreate. Even beloved apps like GoodNotes doesn’t give me the same smooth writing experience procreate gives me.
Awesome
oh dang! I didn't know that!!!
@@thebradcolbow yeah, and the cool part is that it automatically puts each page in a separate layer.
What if the pdf has more pages than the max layer limit of the ipad?
And how can I import it into procreate? I find most annotation tools lacking
@@panda_314 I do it by saving the pdf in a folder (iPad or a cloud service). Find it via the “files” app, open it to get the preview, then right hand corner tap on the square with the up arrow, scroll the top row apps until you see procreate and tap it. Procreate opens and It gets automatically imported. It depends I guess on how much info is displayed, but in my pdfs, the max layers = 129.
I've been using procreate for 2.5 years but didn't know half of these, nice video!
Nice!!

This is literally blowing my mind. A month long user and there is so much GOLD here.
First things first...I love you. Thank you, because you just taught me more tricks in an 8 minute video than I learned from hours of other tutorials 😂🔥🔥🔥
whoa--just the top on bringing layers into a new project is WORTH WATCHING VIDEO for! These are EXCELLENT tips. THANK YOU!
Ive been using procreate for years and i knew a grand total of 4 of these. You’re a life saver, especially for the last one. The number of times I could have used that!
Some great tips indeed, especially favorite brushes and copying layers to another design. Thank you!
Wow, I've been using the app for years, but you still managed to teach me a couple of tricks. Thanks! Great video!
Thanks for making this Brad!! Been wondering how to do a bunch of these shortcuts for some time now.
I'm over here rolling my eyes, thinking, "what can he show me that I hadn't already seen?" And you blew my mind man!
Awesome video! You taught me tips that makes my life easier using Procreate. Thank you!
That was an excellent video, Brad. And I learned quite a few new tricks even though I use procreate for a few years now.
absolutely fantastic video, you've squashed all the good bits into an economical time and space
oh my god the tip about moving layers over to another canvas in your gallery will save a lot of time on something I'm working on right now, thank you
wow, I didn’t know the colordrop thing! glad I can do it now, it was bugging me for years.
thank u sm!!
So glad this wasn't long-winded. Some people just chat and barely show anything and my attention span is not suited for that XD
3:06 is very helpful! I thought I would know all of these!
This was very thorough! Thanks Brad. I'll definitely be using these techniques to save me some headaches.
I had no idea about so many of these. Thank you so much!
All of this was INSANELY useful! I might go back and use Procreate more bc these are some huge quality of life improvements
Awesomeness. I’ve been using Procreate daily for a while now and you taught me some new tricks!! Thanks!!
I use Procreate DAILY and I learned a few tips. Thanks, Brad!
OH MY GOD. Genius. These tips are sooooo helpful. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing all of these!
Would really love for Procreate to port to Android, but barring that, would love to see a video like this for Infinite Painter hidden features. Great video!
These tips really help me a lot 😮
Thanks man !!
Really helpful! Thank u so much I was struggling with finding the white that I wanted and selecting the colours that was so helpful
Amazing! Thank you so much for these very useful tips!
Great tips! I knew a lot of them, but still found a few new ones 😊 Thank you!

와,,, 감사합니다

Thank you so much! You are so good at explaining. My English is not perfect but i could understand most everything!👍👍
Learned many new things… thank you for creating this 🙌🙌🙌
This was so helpful. Thank you!
BrushSizePresets... I LOVE IT!
wow so many tips in less than 10 minutes! thanks Brad!
super info dense, had to go back a bunch of times
but so soo worth it

I much prefer CSP on the PC (with my Razer Tartarus), but on my Galaxy tab I would take Procreate as well. It's much better suited for a tablet.

That reference screen is awesome I was unaware of that! 💯💪🏽
Thank you, have been meaning to look up some of these as i got so confused by the color dropping and so on! New to the iPad and thus procrate hehe, Thanks!
i've been using procreate for 5 years and i didn't know about the double tap and zoom in and out on the color picker lol. thanks!
Awesome tips. This video is very helpful and does not get old until an update to Procreate. Or if the tips have changed due to an update in the app.
Thank you so much! I love your video, very straightforward. 👍👍
Brad! the most important animation features were left out! Frame holds, foreground and background layers are game changers!
Oh yeah! that's are crazy important!

That's a really good idea.
Super impressive digital art…Big big like and Great work is always expected from yourself…thanks for sharing…hope you have wonderful day.
This video is so good! I added it to my Reading List in Safari so I can check it whenever I'm using Procreate. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tips! These were all super helpful!
This kinda video (with it's straight up explanation) is surprisingly good and rare....
Just what I needed. Thanks!
Saw some I didn’t know. Hooray‼️
Great video packed with pertinent info! Super time saver! Thanks!
this is so helpful thanks a lot man!!
Thankyou x100 this was incredibly helpful❤
Great video, I do procreate tutorials but this taught me some tips I didn't know! Awesome work! Subscribed!
These are fantastic tips for familiar procreate users. Thank you!
Great tips Brad.thank you
More please! Thank you! ❤️
Please make more art tutorials I like your artstyle and voice.
Brilliant tips, super helpful. Thank you Brad

When you import multiple layers to a different canvas make sure you open the layer tab on that canvas and drop them there. That way they won’t get reorganised!
That was really helpful! But how do you get that little procreate widget on your home screen?! I want it
Thanks bro! Rly useful tips
A weird thing I noticed with the reference feature is eyedropping colors from it will make em slightly off colored
3:30 If you're Ibispaint users. I think you're is getting shocked. Because a long time you still draws that background after drawing the characters right?!. I think Procreate is deserved more than professional users because it's really amazing
Yo this is legendary thank you so much!
I’ve accidentally four finger tapped the entire UI away SO MANY TIMES and just tried everything to get it back and succeeded. But never knowing what I did 😂 Happy to finally learn how to do it haha
