OMG I switched to Procreate for a project because it demanded a ton of straight lines and I thought it’s easier. But the smoothing all the way up to 100%. Not very instinctive but definitely efficient. Thanks for this. Wish you guys would make tutorials more often. This is my favorite vector app on iPad.

first thought it was hectic to use concepts, now i love it !

Thanks for the good explanation. I just saw that I made my first sketch with Concepts about 7 years ago but never did it the right way. I‘m going to create some illustrations for an App I develop and these are the key features I will need!

A really, really nice introduction to the process and the use of the slice and nudge tools.

I need to go to the very basics in what tools are available and the best ways to use them. You mentioned few here but it was difficult to see where you got them, like splicing tool and the nudge tool. I don't have iPad pro, I do have iPad pencil and iPad

Concepts app is great but I still miss some features that every technical drawing app must have, for instance you can’t make tangent lines to a curve or add points (vectorial) or reference to a intersection of lines or reference to the center of a circle, etc... I hope they keep working on their iPad version

This is a great tutorial thanks! Is there a way to merge vector lines once they're separated? (without grouping them)

[IamMusicNerd]

Great tutorial. I wish there was a way to have custom fonts and have the text wrap around the path of the lines. But other than that, this was helpful.

[dilipipad]

Nice simple basic lessons thank you....!

In Procreate you can draw a shape an hold the pen to correct and smooth out the shape for example a circle or some kind of line etc… is there way to do this in concepts without using extra guide shapes etc?

Hello, just purchased the pro version of your software (using it on Windows 10 with a Surface Book 2) I can't find where the precision tools are. They seem really helpful, but am worried that they are only present in the earlier version of the software. Are they still present in the latest version? If so, where can I find them? :)

i dont have an ipad pro nor a graphics pen.
i just use my phone and my finger..

Is the nudge feature not available in the windows version of the app?

[WarrenKirkpatrick]

How would you save this icon, not as the whole page but the individual item?

[rlgl]

I love this app and love the tutorials. For some reason when I download the free template it imports a blank document.

[LostStylus]

How do I slice and nudge only on the active layer?

[dnhn.design]

Is this same purpose as Procreate or sketchbook?

[redycristiandy]

How can i strech imported image to look like perspective image?

[ChristopherJamesCalo]

Wait, but how do you export it for use in code? Any special tips to make it easier to consume?

[NinaMilaa]

And how did you load it up? Can I load it in Photoshop for coloring or something?
