I've been using procreate for around 2 months now and have been SO AFRAID of learning how to do masks (it just seemed too complicated for a traditional artist like me lol).
Watching this, I've realized that masks ARE LITERALLY THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING IN PROCREATE lmao
Same here!
Okay, this is what I think I learned from the first five minutes of the video. The rest went too fast for me, so I'm just going to focus on this part since it's a brief explanation. I may be wrong, so please don't rely solely on me.
Alpha lock- When you apply alpha lock to a layer, you can only draw on the parts of that layer you've already drawn on. She drew the leaf, and when she applied alpha lock, she couldn't draw outside of the leaf unless she made a new layer.
Use alpha lock when you want to draw inside a layer without accidentally drawing "outside the lines" of that layer.
Clipping mask- When you want to draw on a certain part of a layer, while still being confined to that shape. It uses the layer beneath it as a reference for where you're allowed to draw, but you can modify that new clipping mask layer part independently without affecting the layer beneath it. She was able to use the leaf she drew as a layer she couldn't draw outside of, but when she applied clipping mask she was now able to draw veins of the new leaf without affecting or messing up the leaf.
Use clipping mask when you want to draw inside a specific layer, without affecting that specific layer and instead drawing on a new one that still uses the shape of the old one as a guide.
Layer mask- A mask that can change how parts of that layer show on your picture. You can use black to hide parts of the layer. Or you can use white to reshow it. Or, use grey to make it look translucent.
This mask is still a bit iffy to me, so give me grace here please.
Use clipping mask when you want to hide or show (or a mixture of both by making it transparent), parts of your layer.
Now, how to use it while making your art for different reasons and ways is still unbelievably confusing to me 'cause she went too fast. (Not her fault, easy mistake.) I think I'll just get used to using them through my art while I work.
Hopefully, this helped anyone else who was confused.
Thank you :)
She’s very good at explaining but yes she’s going way too fast so at the end of the day it’s not really useful for beginners
I like that there is no music here.... feels like you’re talking to the audience one on one
is that sarcastic-
@@paris9871 No.
Do Something New same
I like it too, especially good for non-native English speaker. Very good to listen to.
I haven’t created any worthwhile art since I left art college over 30 years ago. Your demonstration has really inspired me. Thank you.
Your tutorials are the clearest and the most understandable ones I can find on RUclips, thank you very very much!!!
Extremely well made art video, one of the best I've seen on youtube. You deserve far more subscribers :)
This is amazing! I can’t tell you how happy I am that these videos exist. So straightforward, easy to remember, and well edited
Thank you for helping me out with procreate. It can get very confusing and overwhelming but watching your tutorials has helped a ton.
I've watched numerous Procreate tutorials - yours is BY FAR the easiest to understand. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial!
Great tutorial! I'm new to Procreate and drawing on the iPad but was familiar with masks from using Photoshop for a billion years. Seeing why you would use each type of mask in Procreate was really helpful for me. I'm also so excited to see you have a daily art prompt! It's just what I needed to commit to practicing drawing every day.
i immediately grabbed a notebook and pen and started taking notes!!!
now i have the whole video summarized
Thank you so much, I love the video style - how actual paint and tape was used to illustrate what masking meant. It helped me as a student to understand so many things not just procreate but mask in photoshop too. Thank you so much for this I'm subbing
This is super helpful! thanks!
The best way for me to get the hang of layers is to follow along. Explaining as you go really helps me. Showing us how to backtrack and change things really helped. Thank you so much.
Wow, first video among hundreds that i have watch that actually explain in a simple and proper way to use the layers and mask....Thank you
There were like 2 or 3 things that happened so fast I didn’t quite get right away but this video has helped SO, SO MUCH
THANK YOU
I’m gonna go draw right now! ❤️
Thank you so much! I was working without the masks and it was chaos: lots of mess to clean up and SO time consuming! Now I have to practice A LOT!
I have been spending hours a day learning Procreate and your channel is the one I’ve used most. Very easy and simple guide to follow. Excellent!
Your videos are so informative, and so much fun to watch. This explanation of masks transcends Procreate - it's a great way to better understand masks in whatever app you are using. Keep em coming
Fantastic! Thank you for the clear tutorial about masks. I was always wondering what they were and how to use them. this helped me a lot.
This is the best tutorial ever! Some people go on and on and you have to skip to the middle of the video, but this tells u everything u need to know without unnecessary chatter. Keep up the good work!!!
Great vid! Actually very helpful for any art software that uses masks, to understand when and how to use which kind of masks (since they're implemented pretty similarly everywhere) . Also, really making me want an IPad :)
On a side note: great production value on the vid itself--really appreciated (not naming names, but some vids with some pretty annoying music, weird cuts, bad humor, etc.) Thanks for keeping a nice low-key vibe on this!
you are the absolute best! i have been trying to look for good tutorials for a year and this is BY FAR the best one. thank you so much!
This was wonderfully helpful, thank you!! I very much like how you showed how to use it in an art piece, made more sense to me. Thank you for your clear explanations. I am new to Procreate, have taken several online courses already, but this video made the most sense of masks to me. Yea!
Loved your tutorial! Just what i needed! And it’s really great that you created an illustration from beginning to end applying what you just taught! Thx 🥰
Im 1.5 minutes in but I wanted to thank you for making this so diligently: editing, voice, illustrations, examples, the care that you gave to make this as much clear as possible. Thank you :) this is how I'd want to present a work.
Been using Procreate for 3 years. This is one of the most concise tutorials I have seen. Then I went to your website and found so many resources. Excellent.....well done....and your teaching and presentation skills are spot on.
Great detail explanations thanks. Also love the work you put into editing and everything.
As a beginner, I have watched many tutorial videos but yours are really helpful i love it!!!!
Your tutorials are exactly what I have been looking for as a noob! Thank you and please don't stop making them!! :) Once I get a little better I'm going to buy your brush/paper master set! I hope to start with the make art every day prompts very soon. Thanks again for all your hard work! :)
Thank you so much for these tutorials! They are gold and easy to follow ❤
Brilliant. Just bought my iPad Pro and learning Procreate, and this video is so helpful, thank you.
My new teacher)) thx :)
Barry Ward hoi
i just got an iPad 7th gen and the apple pencil and i’m so excited to start making art with procreate, i’ve watched probably 100 videos of people drawing and this is by far the best one. you couldn’t have explained this better!! thank you so much!
Thanks for making this I’m new to procreate and this helps a lot just what I needed. Love your brushes! I’ll be slowly collecting them.
Love your teaching style, the paint and tape idea is brilliant. Thanks!
Her videos are so helpful and amazing! And her style is so cute!!
I recently discovered your channel and I completely appreciate your teaching skills. I draw traditionally and use photoshop to draw digitally some time. But I really wanted to learn procreate and I am happy I found your channel and I am ready to learn. Thanks 💗😍
Thank you so much for sharing this... I couldn't find anything on using Masks on Procreate this really helped me to understand the different ways to use the masks
I’ve watched a LOT of mask videos, and this is by far the best explanation. Great video
Thanks Kate! Glad you found it helpful!
FINALLY found a tutorial that explains the different mask techniques. Thank yououououou 🙌
Thank you so much for this video. I've been using Procreate for a little while now, but I am still not good with it. This video made me a little less scared to just have fun and not be too worried about making everything perfect right away. Also, your websites for ideas are just wonderful and are exactly what I've been needing!
you are so clear and concise. Refreshing. The instruction is great Thanks
Wow. You explained it SO clearly. Love the examples and real life comparison with the tape and paint.
Very helpful thank you so much ! I don’t find a lot of tutorials as clear as yours so ty!
This video is so good for the actual tutorial or just for background music while I sketch, it’s not too distracting yet your voice is so soothing and lovely 😊
Thank you so much! :)
I’m gonna have to watch this a dozen times before I learn about masks, sooooo much to learn, soooo complex!
You’re the BESTTT .. literally just put your vids on sometime for ASMR while I’m cleaning or eating and DRAWING 🥰
Bardot, your videos really are of great help. Everything is simple and digestible. I just bought Procreate a few days ago and they make me so motivated to get my hands ‘dirty’.
The beauty of videos like these is that you can appreciate it more the more you watch it
I gotta say I've seen a handful of videos about masks, and by far this is one of the detailed ones. I love how you started on a blank canvas, and used the fiddle leaf plant as an example, and most importantly, you walked us thru your thought process because that is really helpful. Tho I need to keep re watching it and maybe slow down coz it was a lot of info to take in. I just started using Procreate last week and I got it for school, I wanna learn to use it for Fashion Design and this tutorial really is helpful. Thank you. New Subscriber here.
You.. are ... amazing! Thank you so much! I'm getting into digital illustration and you've been a HUGE mentor for me. Also, I moved cross country and left my watercolors behind, so I'm excited to buy your watercolor brushes for Procreate!! Thank you! ❤
So I've been using Alpha Lock, but never knew how to use clipping masks...I'm. Blown. Away. It makes digital coloring SO MUCH EASIER! Thank you!!
Bardot Brush is the best art-making channel I’ve ever seen on RUclips. (I’ve seen A LOT) I believe this channel deserves more subs and likes than it has now! thank you for this tutorial
An excellent explanation and you’re very talented at both art and teaching! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, that’s super clear and helpful.
I’m new to procreate but strongly fall in love with it.
I love the way you teach. It helps with the analogies
Aaaaamazing. You just blew my mind. New to Procreate and I have been so confused about masks... thank you!
Your tutorials are awesome, easy to follow and have a clear informations.. keep it up 🙌
Great job explaining thoroughly without losing my attention!
Looking great, Lisa! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this video. I have been struggling with masks in Procreate and this is helpful. I will need to watch it a few time to really get the hang of it, but your explanations are very helpful and I believe with practice I will be able to master this very great set of tools.
I now need to try this out, I will start with simple leave. I have learnt so much for today...thank-you so much!
Your voice is very pleasing your videos are the right speed and the content is fantastic. Please keep on doing these as I’d love to learn procreate from you
Thanks, will do!
i’m so glad i found your channel! i don’t usually subscribe right away but i absolutely LOVE your videos and tutorials! such a great teacher 💕 thanks!
I’m excited to try all of these various masking layers now. I just gotta say, that is a super cool pencil cover. I didn’t even realize it was there until the end. So used to see a “pencil” in someone’s hand that my brain didn’t pick up on it.
Great explanations and demonstrations, Lisa. You put so much work into these helpful videos. Much appreciated ... Robby
You are amazing! Thank you so much for this video! I am new to Procreate, and you just clarified something that I found confusing. xoxoxo
I’m totally new to Procreate and have been playing around with it but you just blew my mind!!! Thank you! Definitely will be rewatching this again until I get it!! Also subscribed to your channel! 💕😃
This was so informative, thank you! I'm new to digital art and all I remembered was the alpha mask and couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Now I realize I need the clipping mask instead! I like your brushes too, I'll check your website out to look at them.
I was trying to understand this since long. After watching 50% or definition part I understood what is what. A BIG thank you .
This was so helpful! Clearly explained and easy to follow. Thank you!
Wauw! I’ve been looking forever for someone to show me how Procreate works, just the way you show it. Thanks!
You are an amazing teacher. I have been struggling with this topic, and you are the first one that I truly understand! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are amazing to learn from. it's clear and easy to follow.
Thank you so much! This is exactly the info I needed. Happy creating!
Bardot you have stolen my heart, great videos!!!
Thank you so much for all of your tutorials. I am learning so much
That was an amazing tutorial! Thank you very much!
The brush set is marvelous! I am using the dry detail brush for sketching and love ot!
First 5 minutes summed up what I was confused about in Procreate (I'm use to using photoshop & adjusting). Thank you for clearing that up succinctly!
Brilliant! Thank you so much. I've struggled with masks for years and had college classes on Photoshop and NO ONE explained masks in a clear simple UNDERSTANDABLE way like you just did.
Great to hear! Thank you so much!
OMG! Better than I even thought at the end I was amazed at how much more I could do!
I've been using Photoshop since 1995, and your videos are making love Procreate. I know it doesn't so all that Photoshop does, but for pure art, it seems so much more user-friendly!
never mastered the masking function until i watched this! You’re a star! Subscribed!
Thank you... I had no idea that selecting a layer, opening a new one, turning that into a mask creates a mask based on the previous selected layer! WHAT!? Game changer!!!!!
Many videos I’ve watched about masking particularly layer masks don’t give you an example of how layer masks are used in practice. So you only understand the theory but not the application, but this was great and you get a very cute drawing at the end . It’s worth pointing out that in the case of clipping and layer masks you can use the transform tool to move and change the mask and base layer independently in space on your page . Thank you Lisa you make digital art such fun.
That is a good thing to note! I hope to make more tutorials on this subject because there is SO much you can do with them! Thanks!
awesome tutorial. to the point, clear and great production value!
Ah the most clear and helpful mask tutorial on RUclips I've come across in 2020! Honestly, Thank you so much! I still need a lot of practice.
Thanks for the tutorial - lots of really helpful tips in here. Curious to know where you got your pencil grip from? I love it!
This deserves some kind of RUclips / Procreate award!! Thx so much.
Glad it helped you out!
This was so helpful! Seeing you put these tools into action made it all come together, too. Thank you for sharing!
What is probably the most confusing and difficult technique, you have explained in a very articulate and simple manner.
Whtle is a Window; Black Blocks is a very easy way to remember. Thanks a lot.
I’m definitely gonna have to watch this 1500 times before it sinks in and I can use these functions as seamlessly as you, but that’s on me. FanTAStic tutorial!
This is great, and exactly what I needed today!! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Really cool and understandable tutorial!!!! Best best wishes to you!
This is the clearest explanation of masks I've found, fantastic
Thank you! I was struggling with this! So helpful - like all of your videos.
Very cool, been struggling to understand how masks works now I’m all clear, thanks a lot, I subscribed.
Great explanation of using masks in Procreate. I've only used clipping masks, but you're right - you do run out of layers if you use a lot of clipping masks/layers.
Thanks for creating such a thoughtful tutorial!!
