Hey, in 4:18 you said you can’t access the selection tool bar on the bottom once you star drawing on it. Well, actually you can do it by exiting the selection and then clicking and holding the selection button at the top for a second. It will bring back the last selection you’ve done and also the selection tool bar. Hope I have helped. Cheers from Brazil 😉
4:15 - for those who lost their selection and want to get the options back, just tap and hold the “s” selection icon and the options will reappear. Make sure you tap and HOLD! That parts important cause if you just tap, it will deselect and if that happens just two finger tap to undo to get selection back.
For real! I've been drawing traditionally for so many years, when I finally went digital I colored everything by hand which was a massive waste of time because I had no idea a selection tool was even a thing.
Awesome tutorials, thank you so much. Just got my used 9.7 iPad Pro because my iPad 2 couldn’t handle Procreate at all. This tablet is amazing and with your help I’ve created a space art piece that I like. I needed to learn the alpha lock layer tool to keep the planet content on the p,a net. Drove me crazy trying to select and draw just on the circle then I would try to shade and it would go outside the edges. Drove me crazy until you told us to alpha lock the layer. Fixed and I’m so happy. Thank you so much. Pete
Wonderful! That's great to hear. I'm glad the videos have been helpful 👍 Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else you need to see explained. 🎄Happy holidays Pete Jansen!
Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you for being so clear and thorough with your explanations. You're a natural in every aspect....teaching and artistically. Namaste!
You have such a calming voice!! Honestly I clicked on your video trying to find out how to move something that’s selected without it changing size (still don’t know how or if it’s possible) so if anyone can help - but anyway - I’m blown away! I thought I knew how to use the selection tools!! Wow was I wrong! Thank you for this it was very clear and informative
the part re auto for color...selected portions of white clouds then inked dark airspray near bottom of clouds ..worked great...then smudged s bit....thanks for tip am new to procreate
i really wish there was a way to transform a selection without affecting the image.. in photoshop you can press ctrl+shift+t to activate the transform tool and it only affects the marquee- so you can make an ellipse selection and then distort/nudge it into the correct position without having to sit there trying and failing to make the perfect ellipse
I’m confused as to how to delete what you have selected, almost like cropping I guess? If I select I guess I can maybe select what I want and copy paste to a new layer ?
Aw the guys looked much better with eyes and a smile lol! Seriously tho thank you so much for your videos I’ve learned more from you then anything else I’ve watched! And I agree with the other comment your voice is great to listen to and would be awesome as an animated character 🙂
Thank you so much for making this video! It is very helpful. I do have a couple of questions though…. Are there multiple versions of procreate for iPad? I am asking this because I don’t see the same interface that we see here in the video on my iPad. Most concerning, however, I do not know where the inverse selection and create new layer from selection tools are or how to select them… any thoughts?
Hi Cindy, I'm glad you like the videos 😀Sure thing, I actually have an Instagram page where you can see some of the stuff I make 👀 I believe I posted that artwork there at some point
hi.. i just buy ipadpro. and now learning to select tool. but i got situation. hope you can help. the tool option below is not same as yours.. the problem is.. when i freehand to select, if i undo, i cant continue the line. please help me out
Hi, Thank you for the great tutorial video, but the selection mode, bottom icons are not the same as like mine. Now, 2021 and this video was 3 years ago. The reason that the bottom icons are not the same, because the app has been updated? Anyway, this year version doesn’t have the “invert” icon.,…
Thank you for these videos! They are very clear/concise, i'm learning a lot. I am sure that lighting an iPad for a camera "filming" from above isn't an easy thing to do, but the right side is darker than the left ... not a complaint, just something i noticed. Thank you again. ☮️
Hi Chris Smith, thanks for the feedback. You have a keen eye. It can be challenging to light up the ipad. Will definitely try to keep an eye for that in the future 🙂👀
Great video! You help me a lot! Just one question: Is there an easy way to delete the content of my selection with just one "click"? Currently, I´m selecting a portion of my artwork and then I use the Erase tool. But it can take a while, is there an faster and easier way to do it? Thanks
it doesnt let me use another layer for a mask for another layer, ive tried but whenever i go into a new layer, the thing ive selected disappears..any help? 8:19 - 8:53
Hi mate, I love your videos, theyre super helpful, do you know if there is a 'magic selection brush". For example it can detect outlines automatically so we dont need to go around every line? Cheers, keep the vids coming!
Thanks William :) Really appreciate your feedback. The only tool that does something similar to that is the automatic selection. However, it's not perfect and hopefully we'll get some better selection tools in future updates. Just pick the selection tool and choose "Automatic".
Hi there, I have strange and off topic question for you, how did you get your “size and opacity “ toolbar to stay at the bottom of your screen??? Please do let me know, I think that it would suit me better for my needs- thanks……Bernard
Hi Bernard 🙌You should be able to tap and hold on the bar (not on a slider) and drag it around. You can't place it anywhere, but you should be able to adjust it somewhat.
The newest version has a completely changed selection tool. I used to be able to select a filled shape and fill it with a colored image by using a combination of a new image layer and “invert”. I can no longer do this. What I am trying to do with Procreate 4.? is take a complicated shape I have already drawn in its own layer and fill it with a layer of crazy colors that I have painted and saved as a jpg. Not sure if I am being clear about this. Example would be the block letter A filled with the image of an automobile. I used to be able to do this. With the latest update I can’t. Is there a workaround? HELP! I loved that feature!
Ok, so question. I’m working on a project involving multiple layers. I’m drawing a cartoon image with an iPod nano on it and am just finishing up the nano, but I’ve run into a bit of a problem. You know how the screen displays the album, the song and everything? Well, right where the time bar is, I reflected the album image and added a gradient to get that same reflected fade out effect just like with the actual nano. But there’s like pixels of the image poking out from under the gradient, even though both are the same size and I used the select tool to crop both. It clashes badly with the black next to it and looks out of place. I tried to shave it off but it only leaves the part horribly cropped and doesn’t line up with the rest of the image. What should I do?
I haven’t been able to find what I need. I want to know how to cut a portion of a layer and move it around. Is this possible in Procreate? It’s extremely easy to do in MS Paint, so I expected you could do it here. Please, somebody help me! 😫
Should be fine, the Apple Pencil has a hard rubber tip so it won’t scratch. If it does it could be defected tip or something on it like a small piece of grain or sand or something.
i'm having the toughest time figuring out if it's possible to select and cut one image within the canvas and move (paste) it somewhere else? i've drawn an image that i don't want to have to draw again, just move a few inches over. if i can't copy and paste a portion on my canvas, is there a way to manipulate where the image appears using several layers...? OR! if there's already a video that i missed on how to select a portion and move it, would you direct me to it. THanKS.
Let me know if one of these methods answers your question. Method 1: This allows you to cut a selection and paste it on another layer. 1) Make a selection on a layer with the information that you want to cut. 2) Swipe down with three fingers and choose "Cut & paste". 3) Move the new layer around as you wish. (if nothing happens when you swipe down with three fingers, then go to Actions->Prefs->Gesture controls->Copy & Paste. Method 2: Go to your layers panel and swipe left on a layer and duplicate it (Now you have 2 identical layers). Then move it a few inches over and do what you need to do. Hope this helps! 🙃
Thank you very much! And do you know is there any way to make those dotted lines (which appear when you do selection) invisible just like in sai? I hate them I get really distracted
nice channel, and video, but you missed a great pun for a finish statement: like the thing Spock from star trek says, but say it like: 'live long and procreate', just a nice idea to end the video's with.
Yes you can either copy paste or press a button on the bottom of the interface (once you have a selection). There is a button there which creates a new layer from selection.
Is there a way to use a magic wand tool like in photoshop cs. This process would make my projects 5 times faster. If so can you make a tutorial for it.
JustRandomalltheTime yesssss i need to know as well!!! If you find anything, tell me.. im on insta and Twitter.... TrashGeck I’ve been searching for the magic wand but idek if it exists
@@vanessajensen9156 I found some tricks to make it similar but it's nothing concrete I'll let you know the details on that soon. I use procreate to create my t-shirts my channel it shows me digitally drawing them out in a time lapse.

Hi Thiago. Ah I see. Thanks for that helpful tip :) I will pin this comment to the top so others can see it. 🙌
Actually, all you need to do to recover the selection tool bar is to hold down the lit up selection button until it shows up
Thank you so much! @@randicommand2453
I know this video may be a bit dated now. I don’t even get a selection bar, this is the only way I can do anything .
Thank you Thiago. Obrigada 😘👍👏

Make sure you tap and HOLD! That parts important cause if you just tap, it will deselect and if that happens just two finger tap to undo to get selection back.
I came to this video looking for a solution to this exact problem and I found it in the comment. Thank you so much!
this is what everyone should learn first. not using it is so hard.
For real! I've been drawing traditionally for so many years, when I finally went digital I colored everything by hand which was a massive waste of time because I had no idea a selection tool was even a thing.
Finally someone knows what they’re talking about.
This is the BEST tutorial on youtube for Procreate on the ipad. You do a fantastic job covering everything! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm a Procreate newbie and this has helped me quite a bit.
You are amazing! Please keep up your videos!! I couldn’t have gotten through it without you! Your easy to listen to; a perfect pace.
Brand new to Procreate. Thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial.

Excellent tutorials. Very precise and clear description with no waffle. Thank you.
Thank you for the minus selection instruction. Could not ever get it to work.
So simple when you know not to close the selection. 🤗
Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you for being so clear and thorough with your explanations. You're a natural in every aspect....teaching and artistically. Namaste!

I came hoping to learn how to use the copy & paste tools in selection. But I still learned a lot so thank you.
Your voice is so soothing
Once I have a selection (fx. elliptical) and I don't quite hit the target ...how can I move the selection (left/right/up/down)?
Very helpful! Thanks man
Thank you so much! I've been using procreate for the longest time and i didnt know about this.
Aw the guys looked much better with eyes and a smile lol! Seriously tho thank you so much for your videos I’ve learned more from you then anything else I’ve watched! And I agree with the other comment your voice is great to listen to and would be awesome as an animated character 🙂
IbisPaint X has a MUCH better selection tool...I wish procreate would look into it
Exactly! They even have lasso fill tool as well.
Agree with you 100%
I needed this so badly! Thank you
Thank you!! So much help
I managed to edited what I had drawn in the inverse selection by tapping with two fingers.
Fantastic tutorial thanks.

I don’t have those little slash bars to add a layer. How do I make a selection and make a layer?
Can you show the artwork you have to the left of you, it is beautiful... I enjoy your art tutorials so much, thank you!
Hi Cindy, I'm glad you like the videos 😀Sure thing, I actually have an Instagram page where you can see some of the stuff I make 👀 I believe I posted that artwork there at some point
thank you so much. I needed also how I can delete my selection
Thanks you 👌
Oh my gosh this was so helpful, thank you so much
Very helpful and clear video! Thank you.
Thanks from Turkey,❤❤❤
is it possible to take that object just selected, and move it to its own layer?
Thank you! This helped a lot!

Is there a way to delete a selection?
How do u select a certain part of the drawing and move it?
Hi. Not sure if you will get this but would pay for a pdf for all of these tutorials !!

thank you!
How do I unlock procreate it seems to b frozen. Is there a help service?
What can I do on the Ipad 10.2(7.gemeration) ? It have not all the functions on procreate 😩
Thank you. How can I delete or move a selection, e.g. If I want to move just one letter of a word.
Thanks for the video, I wanted to know if you can select hair?
I would probably say that the selection tool is not accurate enough for that.... yet. Hopefully they'll improve it in a future update.

Hi Bernard 🙌You should be able to tap and hold on the bar (not on a slider) and drag it around. You can't place it anywhere, but you should be able to adjust it somewhat.
How do you select the parts of your drawing only where you drew on? Automatic either selects too less or too much. Please help!
Great videos
My options look nothing like yours, I have a box with two lines of icons, and no undo/re-do.
Helpfull thanks

Why doesn’t my iPad Pro Procreate have redo and undo buttons when I select selection tool then freehand tool there are no redo or undos
And, of course, now in version 5 of Procreate you can save your selections to recall any time you want!
Thank you! 🙏

But how do I select something then delete it
Is there no way to move a selection around the canvas?
After selecting, there is a cursor icon next to the selection icon.
Is there any way to select an area and quickly delete everything within that selection?
Yes, use the selection tool. Then swipe quickly back and forth on the canvas with 3 fingers. That is the gesture to clear
for gacha edits : keep you finger holding on automatic and swipe it to 26.5
tel press cut
thanks ♥
I do not seem to have the same icons as you. I am looking for the one that creates a new layer out of a selection. Is there a new version?
I have the same question. I don’t have the Make New Layer icon.
