[@keiradandridge2238]

Seriously the best tutorial I’ve seen thus far explaining the three. Thank you so much!

[@RT-wk1bd]

Excellent presentation. I followed all of your steps on my iPad and for the first time I understand the value of and when to use the alpha lock, clipping mask, and mask. Thanks!

[@OGRuth]

I felt the same way . I’m going to watch your other videos now on Procreate . Thank you .

[@orenji13]

holy F.... that was a really really Clear explanation.... thank you. I have watched other vids and they don't make it simple enough

[@bethwood4265]

Excellent explanation! Thank you! Looking forward to trying these tips out.

[@cindymelissakillebrew4113]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much, keep posting more videos. 🤗

[@MommywithaCause]

WOWWWW! AMAZING DRAWING & TUTORIAL! This looks like so much fun and easy!! Thanks for explaining the differences of each Mask tool! ♥️

[@Siakula]

🥰 I’m so happy you enjoyed my video!!

[@phamlenamphuong6186]

Thank you so much. This video is probably the best tutorial about this topic !!! And I’ve learnt a lot from it, not just the alpha lock, clipping mask and mask.

[@polyweird]

I don't have access to procreate but this was actually really helpful for understanding the different mask options. Other tutorials kind of confused me but use of this simpler shape totally helped it make more sense

[@karolyneboucher]

Thank you so much for this video! It's short, clear and the explanations are given at a good pace.

[@agseliza2451]

Loved the video! It was simple yet very informative. Thank you!

[@SoMJenn]

Amazing!! This is the first time someone's actually explained it and I understood completely. Immediately subscribed. Thank you!!

[@anniekate76]

[@Spyxhunt]

Thank you so much for the video! I'm new to procreate, as I've been using ibispaint x. I knew what clipping mask and alpha lock were, but mask was kind of confusing. Thanks again!

[@Siakula]

great! I’m very happy to hear that 😊

[@CubChef]

Thank you for making a video with such great details and explanations. I am new to Procreate and was frustrated for not progressing much in my learning. I stumbled upon your video and followed step by step to create the watermelon picture. It is exactly what I needed to learn the Alpha lock and Masking part.

[@Siakula]

Great to hear! I'm so happy my video was helpful! Clipping mask, alpha lock and mask are so useful and easy to use when you understand what they do, they are my favorite!

[@ukmonk]

[@klauritz5122]

So HELPFUL!!! Thank you. One of the best videos in helping me simply understand clipping masks and masking

[@tycalahan8166]

Right! Most tutorials just gloss over this , or use it on a basic shape for 2 seconds rather than showing how to use it in a drawing

[@Siakula]

thank you so much! I’m so glad my video helped you understand masks in Procreate:)

I use the clipping mask most of the time. Discovering the other ones

[@wiolettacieszkowska1553]

Wow już wiem że ten film będzie fajny i przydatny ❤

[@YIVY1]

Thank you procreate is so complicated

[@cristelperez-huerta48]

How do you change your main back ground color to pink. I have an extra layer. It’s just when you’re erasing the watermelon and slowly bring it back with the white that I’m lost at.

[@wiolettacieszkowska1553]

zrób filmik "rożne skróty itp. w procreate" 😘😜

[@inge.4648]

😍🙏🙏🙏

[@alhh6993]

Actually using alpha lock I can drag and drop a color to the shape and only thhe inside of the shape will get filled

[@isabellamotta3279]

hi! I started exploring the Procreate app today and I was wondering why when I try to draw on the Clipping Mask layer, it won't show anything on the canvas, although the layer is not hidden and i follow every step shown in this video. It'll show what I've drawn in the Layers section, but not on the canvas. Anybody knows why?

[@Siakula]

when you draw on a Clipping Mask Layer you need to make sure that there is a shape drawn on the layer underneath it - and whatever you will draw on the Clipping Mask layer will be visible only on the area of that shape that is underneath it - I hope it makes sense :)

[@fidgettoysfun6510]

Hi

[@RT-wk1bd]

I am trying to follow your instructions. However, I cannot fill the triangle with red color without filling the whole screen red. I have tried to make the lines thicker and continuous in forming the triangle, but still have not been able to fill only the triangle with red. What do you think the problem is? Thanks!

[@Siakula]

Please try to do this - when you are dropping the color into the shape, don’t pick up your pencil from the screen, but slide it to the left to change the colordrop threshold. You probably have it at 100%, and that’s why the color is flooding all the canvas, make it a little bit less than a 100 and it should be all good. Let me know if it worked

[@RT-wk1bd]

@@Siakula Thanks for the helpful information. I have finally solved the problem. I think that my initial drawing lines were too thin. Also, thanks to you I have learned about the color-drop threshold control, of which I was previously unaware. Again I really appreciate your prompt response to my problem.

[@lilacorze]

When I alpha lock the layer, I can’t colour or do anything to the layer…

[@thathumankane]

So when I do clipping mask on my original layer for some reason the layer just disappears anyone know why it would do this? Alpha lock works fine

[@Siakula]

you should use clipping mask on a new layer that is above the original layer, so you are clipping the new layer to the original one. I hope it makes sense

[@millel1986]

Dunno why but when I try to draw sth using a clipping mask I cannot see the painting :c

[@tincoronelarnaprints]

i can still see it even if i use clipping mask im confused;(

[@Cherry_-_]

None of it works for me :(

[@user-vb8dc1bg3j]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Siakula]

:) you’re welcome
