Procreate Tips For Beginners

Procreate Tips For Beginners

Learning how to use procreate can be really difficult if you have never drawn digitally before. Hopefully this series can be helpful to those who are trying to learn procreate. Procreate has been super useful to tattoo artists, graphic designers, animators, and other creative professionals.

UPDATE: The streamline option got changed the 5.2 update. It’s under stabilization now. Also smoothing/stabilization.

Man...this is honestly the best Procreate tutorial I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of them. Thx

As someone who apprenticed in tattooing, that bit about translating liner sizes to brush size percentage.... *extremely* helpful

I’ve been using procreate for over a year professionally and I just learned from this video that when you select you can hold the select to zoom out and not zoom the image. I had to watch the rest to see if I had somehow not learned something else as obvious as that. Amazing video, this will be a great workflow boost.

Easily one the best if not the best video of how to quickly get up to speed with “valuable features” and demonstrating how you actually use them!
THANK YOU!

As a teacher myself, I recognize how skilled you are to explain things clearly and efficiently. Bravo !

Three days in and this is by far THE most informative and straightforward video yet. Tapping the pencil twice for eraser or pencil...Genius! Thank you for making my life that bit easier.

I only downloaded Procreate today; so I'm a complete beginner. I cannot thank you enough for a superb introduction. Everything about it is great - what you demonstrate, how you do it - all great. Thank you very much!

A tip for the same drawing

Lets say your drawing a face,
Add a new layer, draw your eye. Duplicate the layer, use the curser selection tool, flip the eye and you can move it the side

Oh wow. I really wish I'd found your vid last year. it would've saved me from so many headaches. This really is the best and most comprehensive guide to Procreate that I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much!

For real thank you!!, one of the only tutorials and youtubers I don't have to watch in 2x speed. Straight to the point 🙌

2 additional tips I have not seen (but may have been) mentioned:

1. Using "Automatic Selection" works like the "Color Drop" aka "Fill" option you've showcased. If you hold you finger on the area instead of letting go, a threshold slider will appear at the top of the screen. Adjusting this threshold will allow you to select how much "tolerance" the automatic selection has, or how much space the color fill should occupy when not given a solid boundary. Also, selection tools can be combined for better results (use automatic for a rough selection, refine with freehand). As far as I am aware, this feature was present in the app when this video was made.

2. When selecting brush size, you can tap on the handle, and in the size preview that pops up, click the top right + icon. This allows you to set various size presets, and get back to them quickly. This would really help the workflow described in the video (where few size values are used). I believe this feature was added after the video.

I've watched a ton of Procreate tutorials and none have been as clear and helpful as this one. Subscribed immediately. Thanks a billion!

omfg I literally downloaded procreate like 20 minutes ago just so I could start learning to draw my own tattoos and after watching a video on the basics, this was the next suggestion! The universe must be telling me this was a good move lol

[mrsaraujo]

Omg!!! I’ve seen so many videos trying to get pointers for BEGINNERS...and I can say that your video was the best!!! So happy I found it!!

[sam_one_eggroll]

Just picked up my iPad today. This was extremely helpful. Thanks man!!

[KimberlyPinkney]

Depending on your settings you have a max limit of layers, just learned that grouping layers still counts toward max limit of layers. ie if your max layers are 16 and you group 15 on one layer with 1 layer ungrouped, it will not allow you to add a 17th. Even if you group them all onto one, still cannot add 17th.

I like this tutorial because he kept it short and to the point instead of rambling on about one feature as if he was doing a podcast making me lose interest ... He made important points, showed how it was done and moved on ... That is how a tutorial should be ... Excellent work 👏🏻❤

[natsax]

OMG!! you're the only one showing how to set the opacity for a layer, I saw 5 videos looking for that tip.

You go fast, but not too fast, and my adhd brain really appreciates that! Normally I'm zoning off halfway through a tutorial like this. Kudos!
