    Got an iPad and procreate not too long ago, and I’m still trying to understand how to use it well enough for my own art….the switch from traditional to digital is so much harder than I thought it’d be. Respect to all my digital art friends. Thank you for this!!

    TIP: when you go on to your layers, if you click on the little N, you can adjuts the opacity of the layer instead of having to go all the way to the other side of the screen. Hope this helps as a little shortcut!

    Great video! Thank you for the tips! One thing I would recommend is to always export as a PNG because it uses lossless compression. JPEG uses lossy compression, so every time you email it, edit it, text it or pretty much anything, the quality will decrease (this is supposedly to save storage space, but really has no other benefit). PNGs may be a little bit of a larger file size, but they will stay the same quality that you exported it at!

Unfortunately, I neglected to learn the procreate app. I tried photoshop years ago, learned a bit but was discouraged by the complexity. I went to high school in the 1970s, I kinda of had t he same experience with procreate. I am not of the digital generation but have been making art many years. Your little video taught me more than anything I have tried. Now I am pumped to try again to combine my traditional skills with the digital. You are such a skilled teacher and artist

    You can also change the opacity by opening up the layers, selecting the layer you wish to fix, and click on that little “N”. There, you can change the opacity, as well as change the look of the colors used on that layer. For example, if you select “Add”, it will brighten up the colors and create an almost glowing, neon effect (tip: it’s great for adding highlights!). Another example is, “Multiply”. “Multiply” will create a darker color than the one used in that particular layer, but it will be transparent and will sit nicely over colors underneath that layer (tip: it’s great for shading!).

    This is the best video I have watched so far, even though I doodle on procreate since a few month I never watched anything and just kind of figured out myself,
    This video helped me so much, i feel like this app has so much potential and possibilities but it’s so hard to understand it if you don’t have any help
    This truly did an incredible job explaining loads of things in limited time
    Thank you !!!

      @@Chivik1107, u can search it on yt how to do it ^^
      Welp, when u type the link, u can see a search bar at the right side. Type “procreate” there and it will pop up some pages at the left side. Click/tap the first tab there and go to the bottom of the words and u can see there’s “Please wait __(insert number) seconds.” (it has a lot of sentences about the apps so just ignore that lol). U need wait for a few seconds before you can go the link for the Apple ID. After waiting, click/tap “Preview now” and it will let u go to that link (don’t worry, it’s safe). Once u got in the new link, find the “Apple ID: Password:.” If u found it, u can sign in into that Apple ID (don’t change ur iCloud, only App Store) and boom, done! If ur confused, u can search it and I’m glad that I can help ^^

I've never done anything digital before like this. With your help I can really get started. I really like your style, so relaxed and down to earth.

    @eudymaverickmentor 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I think this is a great overview of Procreate. There is one fundamental flaw in the video which might confuse some of your viewers. Which is when you make your canvas. The canvas size you selected is very low resolution. Which means the illustration you create will not produce satisfactory results if you want to print your illustration. Raster images cannot be scaled up and maintain their image integrity. So if all you are going to do is leave the image in the digital realm and don't want to show it larger, then what you did is ok. But if you want to be able to see all the detail in an illustration or want to produce a print, your settings will not produce quality imagery.

      @@brass9787 Hi Brass. Well, that is controlled by what size you want to print the piece. For example, if you were wanting to print something large, say poster size, it would need to be something like 18 in by 24 in @ 300 dpi. Print resolution standard is 300 dpi. So just determine how many inches the print will be and then just make sure the dpi is set to 300.
