I also like Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E which creates new layer as if all layers bellow would have been merged (but they stay intact). That way even layers with blending modes are merged...
I recently started naming my layers and groups after I took on a huge difficult project. It just became apparent to me at some point. It just makes everything easier to edit.
I started digital art with learning photomanipulation in Photoshop and it was a really great foundation for me. 6 years later, I don't use PS for digital painting anymore, but what I learned from working with layers is one of the best digital tool knowledges I have.
Most students are not worried about how to use layers. Most students and self taught artist are worried if the instructor are really teaching fundamentals.
Labelling layers and groups is essential. You quite fast get used to it. Additionally I would advice for all the peeps with projects that require something as a template: There are two different ways I have established: [ A ] create a draft with all the adjustments, layers (named) as well as colour-palette of your choosing. Then copy that document as needed. [ B ] (my favorite way of doing it) create some actions as needed. As you set up your document, you can load those with one click as needed. Especially I prepared my basic layers (named) and so forth. E.g. for portraits I create those basic groups with their respective layers (top to bottom): Face with highlights, darks, hair, glasses, eyes, beard, facial expression; neck and torso: highlights, darks, basic; clothing with highlights, darks, basic; basic drawing with outlines, basic highlights, basic shading; background (highlights, shades, grounding / coat of paint) -- you get the idea. For me it's esier to delete a layer or rather rename it as I progress with the painting rather then doing the same with every new painting again and again and again. You might even add the copy or cc beforehand. This saves you a ton of time for setting up your workspace so to speak. Happy painting everyone and Kudos to Jon for this excellent tutorial.
Amazing video! For the past 7-8 years I'm thinking to join the Digital Hype Train. We had in school a "PC-course" how to use mail programms, powerpoint and startet to photoshop pictures we took outside and even digital art (After scaning our hand draw'n sketches) There is no going back now for me.
I don't frigging understand layer properties so I'm looking forward to try the teaching of this tutorial! Like, I understand I need different layers for lineart, color etc, but *how* should I use them was always a problem
for some reason i always forget that i can paint shadows with a multiply and end up with an issue because of it. Hopefully this video will finally be the one to sink it in lol
Used to work with a metric ton of layers....Nowadays I just work a few as most will be on one layer because once the linework's done I just create a map/selector.
Yeah, quick question to all the experienced digital artists I was previously drwing manga on paper But I recently bought a graphic tablet to draw mangas Anyway, once I draw on a layer the drawing shows on a newly created layer too which is frustrating and I didn't find any tutorials how to stop that from happening
Without seeing your actual project file, we can't specifically say too much but we can say for certain that a clipping mask only allows you to make marks on the content of the layer your clipping mask is on. You'll want to verify that the layer you have your clipping mask on is the correct one and that you don't have another layer on top of it that's covering your view of the one you're trying to paint on.
If you have a flat jpeg, you'll need to separate the image with selection tools like the lasso. You can cut, copy and paste the contents into separate layers if that's what you need.
Hola señor entiendoo muy claro de los capas pero me cuesta mucho por las capas parecer ordenado o desordenado pero un poco confudido para llegar perfecto de dibujos
Este estilo de uso de capas es para trabajar rápidamente y editar posteriormente en situaciones de trabajo en las que aún necesita tener acceso a todos los elementos. No es para todos, pero es de gran utilidad para algunos profesionales en algunos campos del arte. Nombrar tus capas y agruparlas será de gran ayuda, pero también recuerda fusionar las capas a veces o guardar nuevas versiones de tu proyecto para cosas sobre las que esperas recibir notas. ¡Tener esas versiones ayuda mucho! *¡Espero que este mensaje traducido haya funcionado!
You can if you want! In that situation, we recommend looking at how traditional painting works. That's essentially what you'd be doing. You don't NEED to use tons of layers. But many people end up using them to have editability for their work in professional concept art or other fields that need them to be able to rapidly change individual aspects of a piece.

I was searching for this. Huge thanks brother.

Yeah it's similar to video editing software. If you learn core concepts you can transfer those to another program with ease.
What do you use for digital art now, if you don’t mind me asking?
@@Solo-Delo I've been using Krita since 2020. I used it for personal works, commercial work, editing photos, everything.

Purchased this course quite recently, going thru it quite slowly but fairly comprehensive. :)
Try this video as well Just for drawing.... th-cam.com/video/c6iaMolwHOY/w-d-xo.html
got sold on naming layers so fast! I cant believe it
Ive used photoshop for years and I learned tons of new stuff, Thank you so much for your time and effort in making this video.
OMG i just learn to much in this video. i can't believe is just helpful . thanks.!!!
Glad to hear it!

He seems really happy for a photoshop user.

I really need this video!!!
0:53 start
Thankyouuu ❤
if you have consistent layer setup.. just make it as a one click action
Thank you Jon!!
Thanks a lot for sharing, helpful.
08:05 best way to fix this?
Yeah, quick question to all the experienced digital artists
I was previously drwing manga on paper
But I recently bought a graphic tablet to draw mangas
Anyway, once I draw on a layer the drawing shows on a newly created layer too which is frustrating and I didn't find any tutorials how to stop that from happening
clipping mask is not working as in the video. why is it not painting the inside of the layer but the outer lines of the face??
Without seeing your actual project file, we can't specifically say too much but we can say for certain that a clipping mask only allows you to make marks on the content of the layer your clipping mask is on.
You'll want to verify that the layer you have your clipping mask on is the correct one and that you don't have another layer on top of it that's covering your view of the one you're trying to paint on.
opacity lock.. like im using ps for years and never though about that D:
On the day of the program please
is this lesson appropriate for krita users
for the puppy we name the layers from now
That tablet is a fucking dream
I'm in Atlanta to. but is a school here? like how can i enroll ?
May I recommend these sort of videos too ? th-cam.com/video/5ryxuFq8UF0/w-d-xo.html
how if I have a drawing and I want to divide in layers
If you have a flat jpeg, you'll need to separate the image with selection tools like the lasso. You can cut, copy and paste the contents into separate layers if that's what you need.

Nice
Proko out here promoting warlocks ...
I just wanna do one layer painting... whyyy why Is layering so necessary.. aahajhrbbh

Oof, this is a great video
Make a video on how to draw a skull from any angle
bruh
bruh
bruh are you seriously gonna ask the same question on every Proko video?
@@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA943 Yes, revise the first video xD
just imagine it and draw the lines.
How do I reset my canva password? I need an 820 x 462 that says Karens Nail Salon.
I use procreate…
same bro
He mentiones that this stuff applies to procreate as well . Most digital programs try not to stray too far from the PS systems if they can
Just for the sake of puppies✊️
Way to complicated. Plus he didn't say what the purpose of layers is.
0:27
first
Your voice sir, sound like an AI. Just want to say.
All this layer nonsense lol I'll stick to pencil.
