    One of things that makes Procreate so much fun to draw in is how the interface stays out of your way. The tradeoff is that many of Procreate's best features are tucked away and hidden behind menus and touch gestures. In this tutorial I go over some of those features you may have missed when illustrating in Procreate.

      When you move layers to the new canves ,drop them on layers not on canvas , it will be in right order

    • @Firefoxes85
      @Firefoxes85 10 месяцев назад +3

      My guess is that the layers go on to the new canvas in the order that you selected them.

    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.

      @@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!

    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!

    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.

      And how can I import it into procreate? I find most annotation tools lacking

    • @_JoyceArt
      @_JoyceArt 2 года назад +6

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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! 😀

  • @iatulrathod

    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 :)

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.

    @johnb534 Год назад +7

    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.
