  • In this video, I'll explain how to put your imported line art onto a transparent layer in Procreate. I did a video on this a while back, but here's the microwave version. Line art by Rebekah Isaacs!
    Get my full Procreate courses at the link below.
    Steps:
    Add a layer on top. Fill with black.
    Add mask to black layer.
    Copy the line art layer.
    Select the mask on black layer, 3-finger swipe down, paste.
    Invert the mask & merge into the black layer. (Pinch the layers!)

    Thank you so much! For those that don’t know, to merge the two layers together just pinch both highlighted layers tougher and they will merge!

      I was trying to figure this out as well, but I ended up selecting the second layer and then from the pull down menu selecting ‘merge mask’ which seemed to do the trick as well 💯

    u literally revived my art career, for a hot minute i was pondering on how to do this because of my strong pencil work on paper and lack of solid sketching in digital, u a Godsend thank you!

    i spent countless hours playing with the automatic selection tool as my project has a lot of motion blur and noise to add effects to the design and couldn't figure this out. this has given me the most amazing amount of relief thank you so much!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I do a lot of coloring using Procreate, and up until now I’ve had to redraw every single drawing on a new transparent layer. This is a HUGE time saver!
    One suggestion: if your file has a background layer, fill it with black also. Otherwise your line drawing will be too light.

    I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am that you’ve shared this 💜 I grew up very fluent in using Paint Tool Sai, which had its own function to turn white/bright pixels transparent at the click of a button. I’ve been using Procreate for nearly 4 years now, and of course in the beginning I was disappointed to realise that button wasn’t available on Procreate, but especially as someone who tends to use very textured brushes now, just using the selection tool to separate a sketch from a white background would never have the right outcome, as you can imagine it would remove too many integral pixels and it would lose its pencil-like texture. This method with the masks however is a huge game changer for me, especially as I often look back through my time lapses and realise I preferred one of the first sketches in my drawing process, now I can screenshot them from the video replay and use this method to bring the sketches back into my piece without any evidence it was ever recovered from a flat image with a white background. This will even be perfect for scanning in drawings from my sketchbook and colouring them digitally! You’re a star 🌟💜

    OH MY GOD THANK YOU. THANK YOU!!! I'm currently not in a position to renew my CSP license and am only able to work with procreate (budgeted down to the penny, quite literally lmao) and while I use procreate for my linework, I was using CSP for colors, and the inability to do this is one of the big reasons why I ultimately was using CSP for rendering. Knowing how to do this will speed up my workflow immensely, and allow me to finish my pages with the sort of speed that will allow me to finish issues on a time table that will make publishing on a consistent schedule a lot easier. I know this is a little thing, but it makes a giant impact in my art process.

    • @colorwithkurt
      @colorwithkurt  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Create a selection based on the inks on the transparent layer by holding two fingers on the layer. Then fill black on a layer on a top and merge that. I think that works. :)
