I've been using procreate for around 2 months now and have been SO AFRAID of learning how to do masks (it just seemed too complicated for a traditional artist like me lol). Watching this, I've realized that masks ARE LITERALLY THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING IN PROCREATE lmao
Okay, this is what I think I learned from the first five minutes of the video. The rest went too fast for me, so I'm just going to focus on this part since it's a brief explanation. I may be wrong, so please don't rely solely on me. Alpha lock- When you apply alpha lock to a layer, you can only draw on the parts of that layer you've already drawn on. She drew the leaf, and when she applied alpha lock, she couldn't draw outside of the leaf unless she made a new layer. Use alpha lock when you want to draw inside a layer without accidentally drawing "outside the lines" of that layer. Clipping mask- When you want to draw on a certain part of a layer, while still being confined to that shape. It uses the layer beneath it as a reference for where you're allowed to draw, but you can modify that new clipping mask layer part independently without affecting the layer beneath it. She was able to use the leaf she drew as a layer she couldn't draw outside of, but when she applied clipping mask she was now able to draw veins of the new leaf without affecting or messing up the leaf. Use clipping mask when you want to draw inside a specific layer, without affecting that specific layer and instead drawing on a new one that still uses the shape of the old one as a guide. Layer mask- A mask that can change how parts of that layer show on your picture. You can use black to hide parts of the layer. Or you can use white to reshow it. Or, use grey to make it look translucent. This mask is still a bit iffy to me, so give me grace here please. Use clipping mask when you want to hide or show (or a mixture of both by making it transparent), parts of your layer. Now, how to use it while making your art for different reasons and ways is still unbelievably confusing to me 'cause she went too fast. (Not her fault, easy mistake.) I think I'll just get used to using them through my art while I work. Hopefully, this helped anyone else who was confused.
I love your illustrations but you go WAY TOO FAST for beginners to follow. This is actually my second time trying to follow this tutorial and it makes me want to give up around the 8 minute mark. It would be helpful if you could visually cue the viewers to what layer you're working on by clicking into the layers box and showing your audience each time as it's easy to get really confused - especially if this video is about masks. Also it seems like there are parts of this video where thigns are fast forwarded a bit - so if it takes you, an expert, a bit longer than what is shown to do something, imagine how much longer it is taking your audience. I understand that there may be greater appeal for your videos if they appear shorter, but for those of us actually working on the tutorial - a true step-by-step version would be much more beneficial. Perhaps you could upload two versions? One that's in-depth? In your tutorial you use many of your custom/paid brushes but for beginners who don't yet know whether this is for them it would help if you could let us know what free brushes we could use/should use to arrive at a similar end result. Since many of your viewers are beginners just looking to get into illustration and procreate, making your tutorials easier to follow, with default/free brushes so that people can feel a level of mastery would probably be beneficial. If you want to advertise your brushes to us and show us how much better they are in comparison at different points - that's great too, but please use the basic brushes or direct us to free options when doing these entry level tutorial videos.
I just finished following along and was saying the EXACT same thing to my husband. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Definitely would be more helpful to slow things down for true beginners, and I agree about the brushes, it's frustrating to have to spend time looking for brushes that compare when trying to follow along and learn.
@@cristalreynoso8883 Lol she's getting a kick back from apple/procreate to make these? plus makes money selling her brushes. People are allowed to politely suggest things so the videos are better for everyone. She'll either take them into consideration, or not.
I have never owned an apple device, but watching these really make me want one. I am completely addicted to watching your videos. #PositiveEnergyAllAround
It really is a game changer. I always wanted a cintique and a better computer. After using an intous in Photoshop for years I took the dive and grabbed a pro with the apple pencil. Absolutely amazing. Procreate is also about to drop a huge update, it is only getting better! As far as digital painting goes, it's really fantastic in my opinion. It's also incredible for recording and making music. Really really happy I dropped the money for a 12 inch and Procreate. I'd also like to add that Procreate is a one time purchase! Lastly, Adobe is going to be releasing a dedicated painting and drawing app, as well as Photoshop for iPad this year. Combine that with iOS 13 rekeasin in a couple days and one can have a huge arsenal at their disposal.
Im 1.5 minutes in but I wanted to thank you for making this so diligently: editing, voice, illustrations, examples, the care that you gave to make this as much clear as possible. Thank you :) this is how I'd want to present a work.
Great vid! Actually very helpful for any art software that uses masks, to understand when and how to use which kind of masks (since they're implemented pretty similarly everywhere) . Also, really making me want an IPad :) On a side note: great production value on the vid itself--really appreciated (not naming names, but some vids with some pretty annoying music, weird cuts, bad humor, etc.) Thanks for keeping a nice low-key vibe on this!
There were like 2 or 3 things that happened so fast I didn’t quite get right away but this video has helped SO, SO MUCH THANK YOU I’m gonna go draw right now! ❤️
Great tutorial! I'm new to Procreate and drawing on the iPad but was familiar with masks from using Photoshop for a billion years. Seeing why you would use each type of mask in Procreate was really helpful for me. I'm also so excited to see you have a daily art prompt! It's just what I needed to commit to practicing drawing every day.
Your videos are so informative, and so much fun to watch. This explanation of masks transcends Procreate - it's a great way to better understand masks in whatever app you are using. Keep em coming
Totally lost at 10:58...Why? What? Where? How? I think my brain is fried trying to figure out how to use Procreate from this site and others. They ALWAYS leave out a transition explanation. How did we get from point "m" to point "p"?
10:57 when I select a layer the layer menu automatically closes so I have to click on the layer symbol to open it again in order to create a new layer but clicking the symbol unselects the layer? help :(
I just checked out your website (the one with the draw everyday challenge) and I can already say this is gonna help me a lot. I'm actually in the middle of an art block and now.. well I've regained some motivation to draw again.. thanks!
The best way for me to get the hang of layers is to follow along. Explaining as you go really helps me. Showing us how to backtrack and change things really helped. Thank you so much.
Been using Procreate for 3 years. This is one of the most concise tutorials I have seen. Then I went to your website and found so many resources. Excellent.....well done....and your teaching and presentation skills are spot on.
Many videos I’ve watched about masking particularly layer masks don’t give you an example of how layer masks are used in practice. So you only understand the theory but not the application, but this was great and you get a very cute drawing at the end . It’s worth pointing out that in the case of clipping and layer masks you can use the transform tool to move and change the mask and base layer independently in space on your page . Thank you Lisa you make digital art such fun.
Your tutorials are exactly what I have been looking for as a noob! Thank you and please don't stop making them!! :) Once I get a little better I'm going to buy your brush/paper master set! I hope to start with the make art every day prompts very soon. Thanks again for all your hard work! :)
Has the mask feature in Procreate changed in updates (I realize I'm coming to this tutorial 2 years after it was posted)? At around 11 minutes, when you select the leaf layer, create a new layer, then create a mask and it is supposed to include the leaf layer because it was selected, I can't make that work. As soon as I click to add a new layer, the leaf layer is unselected. So when I make the mask layer, it's blank. I've run into this problem in several tutorials, so I'm thinking the mask or select function has changed, but I can't find documentation of it in any summaries of updates. Do you know if this has change? Or am I doing something incorrectly? I've gone back and followed the steps several times and it just doesn't work. Help!
So basically layer mask allows u to do anything reversible to your layer. At the same time, you can also edit the drawings on the different layer masks independently without affecting each other. Only downside is that you will have lots of layer. I will advise you to rename your layers so that you won’t get confused with your multiple layers of layers =D
layer masks: - use "black" to erase underlying shape, to give it an outline - use "white" to go over the erased "black" to bring those erased items back into the artwork - use "grey" to bring back subtle details erased with "black"
Loved your tutorial! Just what i needed! And it’s really great that you created an illustration from beginning to end applying what you just taught! Thx 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this... I couldn't find anything on using Masks on Procreate this really helped me to understand the different ways to use the masks
This is the best tutorial ever! Some people go on and on and you have to skip to the middle of the video, but this tells u everything u need to know without unnecessary chatter. Keep up the good work!!!
What is probably the most confusing and difficult technique, you have explained in a very articulate and simple manner. Whtle is a Window; Black Blocks is a very easy way to remember. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, I love the video style - how actual paint and tape was used to illustrate what masking meant. It helped me as a student to understand so many things not just procreate but mask in photoshop too. Thank you so much for this I'm subbing
I'm sorry Bardot Brush, but - like Kat Odonnel below - I couldn't follow either. Too fast for me too. I don't mind watching longer videos since I learn what I'm trying to learn. This is a major feature on Procreate and I've been trying to understand it - very new on Procreate here. Maybe by slowing the video pace, I can catch all the movements you made with your finger... Anyway, thanks for your time and desire to teach us
Thank you... I had no idea that selecting a layer, opening a new one, turning that into a mask creates a mask based on the previous selected layer! WHAT!? Game changer!!!!!
Great explanation of using masks in Procreate. I've only used clipping masks, but you're right - you do run out of layers if you use a lot of clipping masks/layers.
"We all know masks are used to cover things." I just had a short moment to laugh at that intro hahahahah! Kidding aside, I can't wait to have an ipad just to use procreate
You.. are ... amazing! Thank you so much! I'm getting into digital illustration and you've been a HUGE mentor for me. Also, I moved cross country and left my watercolors behind, so I'm excited to buy your watercolor brushes for Procreate!! Thank you! ❤
I just bought your Gouache brush toolbox and I am following your Alpha Lock, etc. tutorial. Where is the "Gouache thick brush" you are using in the set????? I don't see it. ALSO, THE DRY DETAIL BRUSH!!!!
I'm watching this in 2021.... March 13, 2020, was the day we had to start wearing masks places in the USA. This video was posted on March 13, 2019. and, this video is talking about MASKS. I mean... coincidence much???
This was so informative, thank you! I'm new to digital art and all I remembered was the alpha mask and couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Now I realize I need the clipping mask instead! I like your brushes too, I'll check your website out to look at them.
How do we bring in the picture so it's next to our work to copy? Also, it's not just that it's quick, I think you need to slowmit down explaining exactly what and how these masks work. You understand it, but we've never done them before. Thanks.
Thank you for this video that solved a problem immediately. Clipping masks are working great for me. I do have a question that I’m not sure you have covered. Previously, I was using layer masks but I kept having the issues where a dark under layer was showing through on the edges of a lighter contrasting over layer. All in the same shape. I used the under layer shape that is dark to create the mask for the lighter color. Hope I am making sense. But is there a way to avoid the weird edges that happen with layer masks?
This was wonderfully helpful, thank you!! I very much like how you showed how to use it in an art piece, made more sense to me. Thank you for your clear explanations. I am new to Procreate, have taken several online courses already, but this video made the most sense of masks to me. Yea!
I’m excited to try all of these various masking layers now. I just gotta say, that is a super cool pencil cover. I didn’t even realize it was there until the end. So used to see a “pencil” in someone’s hand that my brain didn’t pick up on it.
Thank you SOOOO much your video is thr only i find that has an in depth tutorial on (ALL)the Procreate Masking tools please watch until the End🙏🙏💯💯💯💙💙💙⬆🆙
This was very helpful! I ended up buying your brushes so I could follow along better but it looks like with the new Gouache Paintbox set, you renamed some of the brushes and these names don't match what you instructed. It made following along a little tougher. I bet it would help people in the future if you had a pop up in the video that said the new brush name any time you referred to it by the old name, or maybe had the names in the description. I'm just assuming that's what's causing the inconsistency because when I got the download file, the Gouche Paintbox has an option called "(Previous Version) Gouche Paintbox Old.Brushset" Thanks for making this video!
How do you add the reference image outside of the Procreate app like that? I’m still pretty new and having two locations for my reference image would be great
Your channel is amazing all things procreate for beginners like me. You take the crown tysm for this channel. I definitely subbed, liked, shared, comment, and turned on the notifications. TY
Thank you sooooo much you really explained in such detail and examples please make more tutorials I cliccd subscribe and like and willing to pay for monthly subscriptions🙏🙏🙏
Really useful to see the difference between masks - I didn't know about Alpha lock - many thanks. Can I ask what pencil you are using? It looks less scratchy than an Apple Pen.
I like that there is no music here.... feels like you’re talking to the audience one on one
is that sarcastic-

Great video. Unfortunately you went a bit too fast for me. I am a begginer. I had to pause you a lot in order to replicate your drawing.
You could slower the video pace on the youtube menu as I did myself.

I’ve watched a LOT of mask videos, and this is by far the best explanation. Great video
Thanks Kate! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much! I was working without the masks and it was chaos: lots of mess to clean up and SO time consuming! Now I have to practice A LOT!
Am I thick... I couldn’t follow this at all. Too fast for me.
It goes quickly! I would probably have to pause it a lot if I was trying to follow along.
I hear you. I've been working on slowing down in newer videos. you can slow the speed of the video, but it does make me sound like a drunk person. 😂

i found it easier to work with about 3 layers max. I approach it like a painting. You can get easily confused working with masks
Thanks for the tutorial - lots of really helpful tips in here. Curious to know where you got your pencil grip from? I love it!
Totally lost at 10:58...Why? What? Where? How? I think my brain is fried trying to figure out how to use Procreate from this site and others.
They ALWAYS leave out a transition explanation. How did we get from point "m" to point "p"?
Lisa, when I use a clipping mask the colour is faded. I have emailed procreate about this. It haven’t heard back. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank u this was very helpful
Tip- if you’re running out of layers pinch them together and they’ll become one layer
10:57 when I select a layer the layer menu automatically closes so I have to click on the layer symbol to open it again in order to create a new layer but clicking the symbol unselects the layer? help :(

This is a major feature on Procreate and I've been trying to understand it - very new on Procreate here. Maybe by slowing the video pace, I can catch all the movements you made with your finger... Anyway, thanks for your time and desire to teach us
I really do appreciate the feedback! You are not the first to say this and I'm really making a effort to slow things down in new tutorials I make. :)
I’m gonna have to watch this a dozen times before I learn about masks, sooooo much to learn, soooo complex!
Thank you... I had no idea that selecting a layer, opening a new one, turning that into a mask creates a mask based on the previous selected layer! WHAT!? Game changer!!!!!
Looking great, Lisa! Keep up the good work.
Great explanation of using masks in Procreate. I've only used clipping masks, but you're right - you do run out of layers if you use a lot of clipping masks/layers.
"We all know masks are used to cover things."
I just had a short moment to laugh at that intro hahahahah! Kidding aside, I can't wait to have an ipad just to use procreate
You.. are ... amazing! Thank you so much! I'm getting into digital illustration and you've been a HUGE mentor for me. Also, I moved cross country and left my watercolors behind, so I'm excited to buy your watercolor brushes for Procreate!! Thank you! ❤
I just bought your Gouache brush toolbox and I am following your Alpha Lock, etc. tutorial. Where is the "Gouache thick brush" you are using in the set????? I don't see it. ALSO, THE DRY DETAIL BRUSH!!!!
I'm watching this in 2021....
March 13, 2020, was the day we had to start wearing masks places in the USA.
This video was posted on March 13, 2019. and, this video is talking about MASKS. I mean... coincidence much???
This was so informative, thank you! I'm new to digital art and all I remembered was the alpha mask and couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Now I realize I need the clipping mask instead! I like your brushes too, I'll check your website out to look at them.
You are amazing! Thank you so much for this video! I am new to Procreate, and you just clarified something that I found confusing. xoxoxo
How do we bring in the picture so it's next to our work to copy?
Also, it's not just that it's quick, I think you need to slowmit down explaining exactly what and how these masks work. You understand it, but we've never done them before.
Thanks.
You’re the BESTTT .. literally just put your vids on sometime for ASMR while I’m cleaning or eating and DRAWING 🥰
I really LOVE your tutorials! You explain everything so well! More more more!
Thank you for this video that solved a problem immediately. Clipping masks are working great for me. I do have a question that I’m not sure you have covered. Previously, I was using layer masks but I kept having the issues where a dark under layer was showing through on the edges of a lighter contrasting over layer. All in the same shape. I used the under layer shape that is dark to create the mask for the lighter color. Hope I am making sense. But is there a way to avoid the weird edges that happen with layer masks?
This was wonderfully helpful, thank you!! I very much like how you showed how to use it in an art piece, made more sense to me. Thank you for your clear explanations. I am new to Procreate, have taken several online courses already, but this video made the most sense of masks to me. Yea!
I’m excited to try all of these various masking layers now. I just gotta say, that is a super cool pencil cover. I didn’t even realize it was there until the end. So used to see a “pencil” in someone’s hand that my brain didn’t pick up on it.
Thank you SOOOO much your video is thr only i find that has an in depth tutorial on (ALL)the Procreate Masking tools please watch until the End🙏🙏💯💯💯💙💙💙⬆🆙
This was very helpful! I ended up buying your brushes so I could follow along better but it looks like with the new Gouache Paintbox set, you renamed some of the brushes and these names don't match what you instructed. It made following along a little tougher. I bet it would help people in the future if you had a pop up in the video that said the new brush name any time you referred to it by the old name, or maybe had the names in the description.
I'm just assuming that's what's causing the inconsistency because when I got the download file, the Gouche Paintbox has an option called "(Previous Version) Gouche Paintbox Old.Brushset"
Thanks for making this video!
How do you add the reference image outside of the Procreate app like that? I’m still pretty new and having two locations for my reference image would be great
Your channel is amazing all things procreate for beginners like me. You take the crown tysm for this channel. I definitely subbed, liked, shared, comment, and turned on the notifications. TY
This is amazing! I can’t tell you how happy I am that these videos exist. So straightforward, easy to remember, and well edited
The multiply blend mode still kind of confuses me. But I'll learn eventually. Thank you this was very comprehensive
Thank you sooooo much you really explained in such detail and examples please make more tutorials I cliccd subscribe and like and willing to pay for monthly subscriptions🙏🙏🙏
I think TH-cam TH-cam, procreate, and my iPad Pro are the greatest inventions in history. Thank you so much for this stupendous invaluable masterclass
Getting frustrated! Clipping mask isn’t working. What did I do wrong?!
Really useful to see the difference between masks - I didn't know about Alpha lock - many thanks. Can I ask what pencil you are using? It looks less scratchy than an Apple Pen.
