Part 2 of my tips and tricks for Procreate...one year later...right before the new update...well...
I am sharing some of the new stuff I found during this year - not ALL the tricks Procreate has but the ones which helps me speed up my work process like the alpha lock, how to fin layer & move the colors or create whole palettes from photos. Plus I am currently testing the new Procreate 5.2 so I will share some of the new features we can expect like brush memory, color cards and recent brushes.
Oh, I will also rant about the transform tool and why it is the way it is.

I hope you learn some new stuff even though I might talk about Procreate features from 6 months ago. And as with my previous video on the topic It is not exactly a beginner tutorial in drawing with Procreate but my shortcuts for faster drawing.
And since I also watched Squid Game and my obsession with Jung Ho-yeon you can see my little fan art in the end. Yes, I know I said no more fan art of anything but I had to. 💛

Instead of duplicating a layer and Alpha Locking it, you can also use Clipping Masks. Making a new layer into a Clipping Mask means it will only paint onto the same Alpha as the preceding non-“Clipping Mask” layer. Should achieve the same effect.
Blurry scaling tips: Procreate is a RASTER program, not VECTOR so no matter what the scaling will pixelate/blur. (I hope one day Procreate offers vector brushes which would be a game changer) I typically try to make my canvas DPI/size a lot bigger so any scaling that happens later on has at least more "data" to work with. Otherwise, my other workaround is to try and trace the scaled up version on another layer to make it match again.
When duplicating layers, it works the same way. I did an animation and made many copies of the first drawing and saw the quality of the linework drop around 10 or so. Never copy from a copy if you can help it-- rename the first main layer and make all your duplications from there!
For line art, my favourite way to do it is to set the line art layer to Overlay and make sure it’s above all the colour layers! It changes a normal black line art layer into a darker version of whatever colour is underneath and saves SO much time! The only thing you have to remember when using this method is to make sure your colours fill the space under the lines, which you can do while colouring by lowering the line art opacity and making sure the colours reach the very edges!
That's great advice for people who draw more solid lines and under the line art! Thank you for sharing! 💛⚡
Thanks ill try this!
I suggest using the liquify tool when you just need to nudge an object or slightly transform it. I changed my workflow into this since it using liquify tool doesn't lose the quality. If it affects other parts of the illustration, I suggest selecting the area you want to adjust first, then use liquify.
I use liquify a lot too but it also mess up the quality - mostly blurring the texture brushes. At least I can't complain about Procreate cause liquify in Photoshop does the same thing too.
The brush memory feature is going to save me so much time!! I had to create multiple duplicate brushes because I was always forgetting the size & opacity that I had them on.
I know right! People are so happy about all 3d features and possibilities and we just want our brush memory and that's it! 😆💛
a few important stuff:
1. Start from 01:16 if you are in a hurry! Click the description for the time chapters too!
2. At 06:57 we are talking about color cards NOT tables. I have no idea why I named them tables but if you feel misled and lied to here are some colored tables for ya - bit.ly/3pO6TYO
3. For all wondering about the release of Procreate 5.2. - there are still no news but the beta is out and I think that means we can have it at least by the end of the year. Write a comment if u know more about that. ^^
Lol tysm for the colored tables, 🤣 I was really upset about being misled, but you got it covered :) I got a good lol out of it
OMG I had no idea anyone else did the silly dumb trick where you just slide an object/line off canvas to delete it! I LOVE that you included it as a tip lol
Good lord your writing directing and editing is so perfect. I mean you're already doing what you're doing but I think Hollywood would love you to do movies.
Setting the layer to alpha lock creates a temporary selection of the non-transparent pixels on a layer. So a quick trick I use is to set it to alpha lock, select my color, then use fill layer, turn off alpha lock. It will only affect the color of the opaque pixels of the layer! Whether it is a full shape, line work, or semi transparent gradient.
You need an iPad with an A12 chip or True Depth camera to use the face reference option. Simply put if you want ‘face options’ you have to upgrade your iPad.
Bicubic, Bilinear, and Nearest Neighbor all have their uses. Part of the problem you are having is that the only examples you show, are one color surrounded by transparent pixels. Bilinear is much more common with jpg compression so if you were to import an image of text and resize and rotate it, Bilinear could work better. If you manipulate something with a color gradient, or detailed shading, bicubic could work better because it samples from a wider area. If you had an illustration with a minimal color palette and needed to grab more than one area with better defined borders between the colors, then Nearest Neighbor might work best.
that intro was everything 😂💜
I love your videos, I'm learning so much compared to other videos that i'm watching that are too long or too complicated... + you're really funny and yet chill at the same time, it's a pleasure to watch
The brush memory one is literally life changing!!!
I already knew a couple of them but now thanks to you I know a lot more , thank you 😊
Fabulous! I learned two "new old" tips I didn't use before :) Great presentation as always
I love your videos and your humour!! Thanks for the tips✨✨
love your videos Bobo! I learn so much from this video. I didn't know there was a reference screen! I always end up concentrating on the details too much so that function will be so helpful :)
Thanks for sharing the updates; it's really amazing the things you can do now. I haven't tested everything myself, but it's on my list 🙂
I just learned a TON from this video. I also enjoy your sense of humor a lot. Thanks for doing this video!
I love your videos Bobo! Keep up the amazing work 👏🏼 😁
Thanks so much!! ⚡🙌
This was incredibly helpful! I get a lot from the way you lay out your tips and advice.
Thank you! I am glad I can explain stuff well enough cause knowing for yourself and trying to explain to other people - two totally different things and sometimes my mind is a mess! :D
Omg !! I’m here early 😍 you inspire me so much!!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!
Love your channel! It’s a huge help Thankyou! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Bobbo! I just wanted to tell you that you are awesome. I don't draw much, I don't even have procreate or an ipad. But I still watch your videos because the way you do them is really great to watch, in every way. Your taste in humor, your explanations, your editing.. everything is great! Keep up the good work Bobbo! 🫂 🤍
Loved it. You are awesome
you always make me laugh, love your videos. i learned v helpful tips
i freaking love your humor 😫
Omg the coloured lines hack….will try that one asap! Tysm Bobbo! ❤️❤️
it is a game changer!⚡
So useful thankyou so much
Thank you so much for this. Btw love your accent ✨
I love this video just woooow thanks 🙏
Hey!! Just wanted to send a quick thanks to you!! I loved this vid much more than the orig(btw your english is getting so much better I noticed!! :) ) Let me know if you find a solution or at least a temp solution for now, when you mentioned the scaling up/down/rotation at 17:20 / 17:25 that you mentioned. I have the same problem, have been having it this entire yr and like you said especially w/ textured brushes it seems and it seems also w/ heavy duty (I call) I think the proper term is called "high quality" brushes.
Thank you for this video!!!!
Love your videos loool so funny😂😂😂 and I got some new tips!!!
Благодаря, за съветите ! ( И за най- сладкото кученце !). Браво Бобче и продължавй все така !🤩👍😘
💛💛💛
love your style and sense of humor. you are awesome. keep it up. regarding the sketch lines you re-colored - have you tried playing with the layer settings like multiplication and opacity instead of re-coloring the lines?
Thank u for the comment and yes, I went trough many phases and all blending options of the sketch layer were tested - Vivid Light and Hard Mix being the best.
Still prefer the recoloring with Alpha lock tho, cause with blending sometimes the color gets a bit disported and I have less control.
Always blown away by the art people make, especially on Procreate because I have this app and let me tell you it is hard as heck, and takes lots of practice and skill to draw things. There are so many brushes and settings that I get lost and intimidated, even though I know I just need to practice more.
Maybe because I am coming from Photoshop and Procreate looks much more easy - I guarantee if you take your time you can get used to it pretty quickly! ⚡
Watch a few tutorials with the main features and you will be good to go! And believe me - there are a lot of rushes but when you locate your favorites you wont even looks for the other!
I completely feel you. I would LOVE to show you my first drawing on procreate and my most recent one. It’s honestly astounding the difference. Don’t get me wrong I’m still not an amazing artist and am constantly striving to improve but god damn that first drawing I did was horrendous 😂 I didn’t know how to use procreate or how to draw digitally or how to even use references. I couldn’t figure out layers like what they were and how to get rid of the ‘line art’ (it really wasn’t art so can I even call it line art lmao) but yes just keep practicing you will genuinely surprise yourself!!! (Btw my first drawing was 2018 and my most recent was yesterday and I don’t even practice everyday. I’ve gone months and months almost a year just not even drawing) so hang in there you got this
@@jessicay8207 glad to hear you see your improvement and although you don't practice every day to even see the progress means you had leveled up enough to see the mistakes. So you are better now, don't forget to say that you draw better now and you are in pretty good shape as of today - we need to give ourselves some self love cause art is one of the spheres where we constantly critique ourselves. So I am high fiving u today! 🤚💜
@@BobboAndonova aw thank you, appreciate the positive uplifting words! High five! :D
For line art you can just create a clipping mask later so you don’t really have to duplicate the lineart and then just paint it over
You are right! The clipping mask's end result is similar to the Alpha lock so it works good too. ⚡
Great tips! Thanks.
yeahh more new videos plsss
Love the song lmaooo you deserve a like
Hi Bobbo, I love your videos! I was wondering what brush you use for your lineart? I love the texture!
I recently joined your patron. I really appreciate how detailed your are with a little bit of comedy. I would love more procreate how to videos. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Ira! 🙌 Thanks for the support - go watch the other part of the video too. I am currently writing English subs cause TH-cam decided not to generate ones for the video 😭
love your channel! it's very helpful. I wish I knew this before I start digital painting haha
Oh don't worry! It's never too late to learn stuff especially about software's and drawing! ⚡🙌
Thank you for a useful work 👍👏👏🙋
You are amzingg... lots of love from India❤
Hey! Thank you for you video, it’s really helpful (as for me). What brush are you using for line art btw?
amazing thank you
Nice sharing tutorial 🥰👏👏👏
nice that video is amazing. 👍
I think my heart exploded when you showed how you can find the layer something is on
same for me the first time I saw the trick!
When you say “popup” my body melts :3
Me inspiro muito em suas artes :)
You can pin your fav brushes to the Recents set by swiping left on them :)
Hey Bobbo. I always Watch your video. You always inspired me with your creation on how to draw using Procreate. I wish I can do mine.
As someone who also has transforming as one of their main techniques, the transform tool refuses to do anything right. I physically cannot make it smaller or anything without it going wrong, and this is awful as I’m someone who enjoys making moodboards and using references and this completely f4cks with using photos, procreate is now almost unusable now that I can’t adjust things like this, I hate this so much.
In the past it would just get blurry which whilst it could be a bit annoying, it’s FAR better than it being disgustingly bitcrushed like is done here. I honestly hate this update for this sole reason, it’s completely f4cked with part of what I use and I hate it. I can’t believe that the people at procreate thought this was better than slight blurring. I want this fixed NOW.
Totally feel your pain! I always struggled with this so I can't say if it happened with the last update but I was waiting for some sort of a fix with the 5.2.. Well, fingers crossed for 5.3, I know the Procreate team works hard to make the software easy and intuitive in so many other aspects so the transform issue SHOULD be fixed soon- it's only logical (fingers crossed hard)
@@BobboAndonova No, I knew that there was always going to be quality issues when resizing, it’s a raptor based program. But just-
Before the update it just got blurry but now the edges become disfigured and jagged.
I’d 100% take the old blurring over this crap.
Luckily it was marked to be fixed so it should either be gone or revert back to the usual blurring soon.
Mine has always given me a jagged edge when resizing... Not blurred. I hate it
Red Letter Media! 😊
I adore your voice and accent
Dammmn, i learned so much. I always wondered how to change my line color from black natirally without redrawing. Alpha layer…daym. Also, can you please tell me which brush you used for the line and fill?
Uses light mode in procreate: mad lad!
Cool 067 drawing!
Unfortunately there is no trick besides what you showed for the quality. It’s a pixel based program, so you can’t make things bigger without losing quality. You can move and turn though without losing quality. Thank you for your video! They are always fun to watch :)
I know you can transform things without this problem in CSP--is that not a pixel-based program? I actually don't know off the top of my head if it is or not
@@rxdice CSP has vector layers where you can resize your work without losing quality. I don't think procreate has access to vectors yet.
@@lamato7191 vector-based layers as an option in the future seems to be something that might be in high demand. Fingers crossed!
I have same problem with the transform tool, and it’s really one of the only flaws in procrate for me and it makes it even more sad :( also sometimes when i use the tool and try to move selected are it just automatically thinks I try to make it bigger/smaller, which enfocres the blurring
You can drag the selected content around from outside the bounding box :)
we all forget that Procreate is pixel based, like Photoshop. It is not a vector based program, so any transformation will sadly result in blurry lines.
@@suzalasuzala1135 In Procreate even a very small transformation/moving lines will blur everything. But Photoshop or even free programs like Gimp don't do that, the lines stay crisp if you move the object or even if you transform and make it smaller (I know that from small to very big it will also blur). Really don't understand why in procreate they're not fixing this important issue
Holy cow the color wheel moving has changed my life
Yes, honestly I found this pretty late and felt like dork always opening and closing the same tap 586040 a drawing! 😭😂
This was in the 5.0 update
awesome video! i love your personality and your art :) what brushes do you use?? i love that texture!
some of the procreate brushes and one brush that I created myself - all is detailed in my Patreon videos. 🙌
@@BobboAndonova thank you 💖
I think the face option is for the newer iPad Pro with Face ID
This…. This video is blowing my mind…
man! thanks to you... you are a great help... you know..... I am following you.. and my art is improving... (at least I can see that much..)
just wanted to know the career opportunities in this field, in every possible ways. will you please make a video on that too?
Great to hear your art is improving - keep on studying and drawing regularly and you will feel the improvement even more!
As for the career opportunities, thank you for the suggestion - I will have it in mind for future video! 🙌
12:26 that safe lives you now😄😄💗
Thats way easier changing the line art that way lol. I was going to the line art layer menu, clicking select on the layer and then using the brush to color it lol
At 4:18 what’s that pen you where using for the sketches? :D
I kinda found a way to keep the best quality of the part u want to resize by turning it into reference. It works for me so try it.
The reference feature has been there before
I have the same problem with transform! 😭😭
Hi may I know what brushes you used on Saebyeok??? 😊🌸
Im curious, what brush do ou use for line art?
Please could you help me? I am a totally begginer in Procreate….
Sorry if you mentioned it but please can you tell me what brushes did you use for the linework and for colouring?
I have a question where did you get your iPad Pro case from?? Is it the 12.9 size? I haven’t been able to find one for my self and desperately need one
You know when you fill in with colours and you drag to the right so you don't get those weird white lines?Well,I got that issue when I use Alpha lock to fill in the contour lines. They always have that white line around them and it's quite distracting. Do you have a solution to that problem? Also,do you use the 6B pencil for your contour lines?
Me after watching the Layer Select section of this video: WHAT!?!?!? *screams and runs across the room to grab iPad and try it out, angry how many paintings I've had to post with a random dot or line in it*
Hii what brushes do u use for line art n coloring
How did you make them blurred at the end of your speed paint?? 😭 Loved this tutorial and I'll definitely be using
a lot
of these!
She likely has them on their own layer and gaussian blurred them
Yes I used gaussian blur for the people in the front and motion blur for the people in the back.
Hey so idk if anyone will see this but a quick fix to the transform issue is to set the canvas dpi really high (i do 1000+ on my canvases but it depends on your device power)
oh wow dpi 1000 - I fear my poor tablet will explode
then again desperate times calls for desperate measures so I will try it 😭🙌
I’ve never had any major issues with the transform tool until AFTER this update. I’ve always had the Interpolation settings on Bilinear, but now with any of the settings if I wanna resize something or move something, the quality just gets so much worse. This is horrible bc the transform tool is one of the most helpful things for my work. I really hope this issue gets fixed soon.
Yes, I too abuse the transform tool as I said and exporting transparent pngs to Photoshop 4 times a day is not that fun anymore! 😂
What kind of brush you use when sketch
Unfortunately making pixel art bigger will always lead to blurring as the program has to guess what pixels are needed to fill in the size that wasn’t there before. You can shrink down without loss of quality, but not up. Even photoshop has this problem, but is probably better at the scales your are transforming because it’s a beast of a program.
Thatk you honey!!! 😘
Do you work for a big studio or something?
Maybe a workaround for rotating the selected parts is to rotate the canvas and taking a screen grab then import the rotated picture. Haven't tried this because Im sooooo busy not sure if this works as a rough solution.
Oh that won't work during sketching cause if I capture the screen as a photo (this is what I got your idea is right?) I will import the whole thing on the screen - lines colors AND background.
But maybe this is a good trick when you want to transform in the final stage cause by then a lot of stuffs are already merged. 🙌
@@BobboAndonova As a game developer like myself it would not be to hard for procreate to write a script to select the certain piece of drawing rotate the canvas and enlarge or shrink then take a screen grab of the certain selected piece only and re-apply it to your work without any loss of quality......hope Procreate is listening 😎
Consept is solving the problem
17:00
Mike Stoklasa 👍
Right? RLM outta the blue! XD

To change your line work colour, click on the line work layer, click”select”, then select the colour you want to change it to = done!
tried that before but when selecting if the brush is more textured the selection was always bad, if I draw on the same layer over the line there is still old color left outside the selection sadly 😣
@@BobboAndonova Ah, you’re right! 😩
hi is it possible to do a video fun line art to color no one has 1 that displays set by step ....understanding layers , reference , clipping mask i could never color my art work without having these flat colors that im not understanding how to color without coloring my main layer
Do nft please
I don’t have a recent brushes library.. I’m up to date on versions…how did you find it??🤷♀️
Beta version! Release is Nov 1 :)
what exact tab is it?
For transform, try to use your 2 fingers to resize the drawing. that will make it better.
tested it - still the same blurry results for me :/
What brush do you use for your sketch?
I explain all about my brushes and how u can create your own in my Patreon videos ⚡
You don't need two hands for the brush memory! Just tap the slider and it will pop up.
17:10 losing quality is just what happens. And the more you transform the more blurry it will be… nearest neighbor is sharp but will look really bad many times specially when upscaling. In photoshop and some apps they avoid it by having smart layers/objects that even if you rotate or change size it is calculated from the original resolution. Smart objects is called in Photoshop.
No, no I don’t think you understand.
This isn’t the blurring, everyone is used to the blurring.
It’s no longer blurring, it’s pixelating in a far uglier fashion.
@@InkSans_FandomSoda nearest neighbor does that but if Bicubic and bilineal work the result is smooth (specially in lower resolutions), expected behavior… but it can’t stand constant transformation.
@@manart6506 No, I’m using those, they aren’t working.
@@InkSans_FandomSoda ah oh. I think you mean the bug in 5.2 beta. Yeah those aren’t working (but they should), it was flagged to be fixed. are you using 5.2 release or beta? I want to know if it is in the release still before updating.
@@manart6506 I haven’t the slightest clue, it just forced an update. I’m not sure. Any idea how I can check?
First💗 ( sorry if thats annoying )
