Thank you!!! Beautiful drawing. Searched the whole internet on how to isolate with white background intact and yours is the only video which explained it well 😫
Vielen Dank, Calvin, so gut erklärt. Ich habe es gleich ausprobiert und es funktioniert. Die Hummel, die du in einem Video gemalt hat, habe ich jetzt auf eine Blüte gesetzt. Sieht so toll aus. DANKE!🥰
Wow. Just discovered your account. What amazing discovery ❤️🙏🥰 Has only had my procreate for a few months and felt I needed some other watercolor tools, and here I am, with you showing and guiding me to ETSY, where I am already selling my scanned in watercolor artwork. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🌈☀️💕 artbylouiseweir
Hi Calvin! This is really helpful; however, I tried with my art work have some details like ( strawberry branches, octopus or art have thin details). It may cut some part of my art. It really worked when we do with art work have certain shape. I really need your help on this issue. Thank you so much for your video❤
Thank you very much for this excellent alternative tutorial on creating a transparent PNG image, Calvin. Your explanations are straight forward and easy-to-understand. I've just purchased your Watercolour brushes after procrastinating for months and had lots of fun creating your watermelon slice - I turned the slice into the png and it works beautifully. Wishing you much success for 2021.
Hi, You're always an inspiration. I'm always using your brushes and watercolor textured paper. I thoroughly enjoy working on it. I just needed help in exporting png files. I did the same for one of my clients but the white background remained there. I send her through email as well but still the white background was coming e even I cropped whole artwork using cropping tool and saved a a png file. I don't know if the client was not willing to pay more or there was a genuine problem. Please help you know anything about it. Thanks 🙏
Hi! Thank you so much 😁 Can you message me on Etsy and attach the png image? I can investigate it and see if something is wrong of if the client is...mistaken 😂
Everytime I click clear it just gets rid of the whole layer. I’ve been trying to figure this out for so long and am so stuck 😅 I need to get my logo isolated so I can put it on any background but I can’t get it to work. Someone help lol
Just noticed that not every procreate paper has this on and off paper. This method just works for the papers that does. Just need to use these types . Thank you! ☹

Hi! When you turned your image into a PNG, does procreate automatically make in 300 dpi? Or do you manually do that? I am considering purchasing procreate and am trying to ensure it will work for me. Also, how do you get your images off procreate and onto your computer? Thumbdrive?
Hello when I press the selection tool and put it on automatic and drag, my artwork doesn’t remain the same color but inverts in color, how do I fix this?
I am no expert but go to free hand draw around what u wanted to move and then press mouse pointer button and then u drag it over anywhere It’s ok if I turns inverted it’s normal u just press the selection tool again it should remove I hoped this helps
@@-spring_skyss I think I figured it out! I did the freehand tool went to the layers and masked it and then merged the masks and the background disappeared!
So, some transparency modes (like color burn, for example) only function within RGB channels. When you turn off the background, you are introducing a transparent channel that isn't compatible with certain effects in the paper texture. This is why turning off the background doesn't work and you just see some weird grey texture. The layers in the paper texture are malfunctioning because of the transparent channel.
I really enjoy watching your tutorial videos and have learned a lot of technics. I wonder if there is a way to keep 300 dpi when I make my work into PNG. If I save my work as JPG and import back to Procreate, the 300 dpi drops to 264dpi.
Hi! You can ignore the DPI in procreate. It is not related to quality, it's related to measurement units. The number '264DPI' is probably coming from your ipad screen dpi. All that matters with digital art is the 'real size' in pixels. For example, if you had an image that was 3000px by 3000px and the dpi in procreate was set to 1dpi, it will print exactly the same as that same image set too 1000dpi in procreate.
Please, mb you know how to save several png images (share layers -png) on transparent background but without empty space around every image? Not all size my canvas but only borders of my drawing. It so uncomfortable after to cut of every image in my photo library:( for example, I had A4 canvas and drew five small stars on different layers and I need to save all of them like self image. But empty space around every image have size like my canvas((((
I am struggling to be honest hence I am painting with a lot of white and grey so the selection is erasing all the art :/ Do you have any solution ? ( Thank you for all your work, the brushes are amazing! )
It still works fine 🤔 can you describe what's going wrong? You can message me on Etsy and we can chat and attach screenshots. I'm sure we can get it to work 🙏
Hi! I have white text overlapping a white image (it’s going on a black T-shirt). I would like to erase the image around the text but don’t want to do it free hand with the erase tool. Is there a way to do this so that my erased outline around the text is precise all around.
Hi Calvin, when I select using freeform the entire background turns red and then it clears the entire image, do you have any idea where I'm going wrong? Thank you for the very helpful video!
hi! I have an easy tutorial about painting a watermelon slice here: th-cam.com/video/ddNZtKT_0WI/w-d-xo.html It's not exactly the same slice, but it's in the watercolor style and you can use the same process to make one just like in this PNG tutorial. You might also like my watercolor dragon fruit tutorial: th-cam.com/video/G79oi67G4rg/w-d-xo.html
I'm having issues selecting the inside fill of a text I created. It's filled with white and it has a black outline. I'm trying to remove the white and make it transparent and only keep the black outline. I tried selecting the white and clearing it but it deletes the whole thing, including outline. Can you help me out?
Hi! Can you make sure the text layer is rasterized before you try to select the white? If you tap on the text layer on procreate, it will show some options. One option is rasterize :) If this doesn't work, maybe you can email or message me a screenshot and I can spot what's going wrong
@@calvinatdrifterstudio8438 No no so it's a hand made cursive font. Not a text box. So I used the streamline brush to write something. Then I duplicated the layer underneath to create an outline around the writing. Then I merged them together and closed the app so I can't undo the merge. And well I want to eliminate the fill and just keep the outline. But I keep trying to do your steps and all my layer gets erased. Do you have any videos to creating transparent handwritten text with outlines??? I looked all over TH-cam and there's not a single helpful video I found
I’m a little confused why you wouldn’t just save it as a png or even tiff since isn’t transparent on the first go around as opposed to saving jpeg & then do everything the same? In my mind I just assume it would retain more quality but idk much either lol 🤷♀️ nonetheless- good video 👍
The brushes used to paint this art are transparent. So, doing it the way you described would result in a PNG with varying opacity throughout the artwork :( I wish I could do it your way, but this is the only method to produce fully opaque clipart on a fully transparent background.
Hi! I think I'll be able to see what's going wrong with a screenshot - can you message me on my Etsy store? It's easier to chat there because it's like a live chat where you can attach images: www.etsy.com/listing/773250221/amazing-watercolor-painting-kit-for You can scroll down and find the 'contact seller' button underneath the description ☺️
in procreate it stays as transparent but when i sent it to my laptop from ipad it again has white background ... is it not possible to sent transparent png from gmail or what..
Hi! It's possible gmail is messing with the file - can you message me on etsy or send me an email? I want to check the file and see if I can spot a clue as to what's going wrong
You don't need to do all this at all! Go to the layers, deselect "background colour" and go to save as a PNG. Voilà, that easy, I don't get the point here 🤔🤷
This only works on you own work, if you have all in the same layer or if is a jpeg that you find on the internet use the app "Photoshop Mix" faster and easier
HI! Can you send me the png file so I can see what's wrong? You can mail me f5ndr5fter at gmail, just replace the two 5's with an 'i' (I don't want robots emailing me 🤣🤣)
This will happen if the selection you made gets 'deselected'. You have to make sure the selection is still 'active' before you use Clear. Otherwise, it will clear the entire layer :}
Thank you!!! Beautiful drawing. Searched the whole internet on how to isolate with white background intact and yours is the only video which explained it well 😫
aw thank you so much 😁
I agree! Calvin, you always seem to know what it is your subscribers want to know about painting in Procreate! You. are. amazing!
I want to thank you for making this video. I have seen quite a few about removing backgrounds that were not as helpful as this video. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I can’t wait to give it a try.
I finally watched a video that removed the background of my image to transparent. This was an easy video to follow 👍Thank you!!

I don't understand how you keep the texture Only on the artwork and remove it from the background. How do you do that?
Thank You very much! It worked. However, can doing this decrease the quality of the art??

This will happen if the selection you made gets 'deselected'. You have to make sure the selection is still 'active' before you use Clear. Otherwise, it will clear the entire layer :}

This doesn't work when painting watercolor in Procreate -- texture overlays do not work properly without a background
tysm!
i dont understand
its still not transparent. at all
I’m new here
Dont work...
Yo
Don't do it like that.
Just make this paper like layer transparent, the background too and save as png.
There you go, no background
No, it doesn't work because some layers use color burn. This glitches when interacting with the alpha channel.
Thank you
