Procreate Layers Explained Easily

I break down the concept of using layers in Procreate using real life examples. I also cover masks, clipping masks, alpha lock reference layers, as well as merging/moving/hiding.

Thanks, great video. As a recommendation I would be helpful to add what type of brushes you’re using in the description please… I can never find the right option!

I don’t think anyone else on YouTube has a video on layers this well explained. GREAT JOB!

I’m subscribing simply because I’ve just watched about 20 layers videos and none of them came close to explaining this as well as you just did. This is what I needed and was confused about.. Thanks

This was a terrific explanation. I love that you used the sheet protectors as your aids. Great job!

Thank you! I was watching an illustration how to on another “subscribed” site and she skips right past layer, as if we should already understand it. I watched it over and over and there was no explanation given. When I watched your video, I said aloud “thank you”. This was so easy to follow along and you have wonderfully basic information in such an unassuming manner without berating the viewer- thank you for saving me time as I learn the Procreating process!! 😊

You are a fantastic teacher! THANK YOU for explaining this with all the visual props. REALLY made it less cryptic than other explanations I've tried to follow. You are a Godsend! LOVE THIS VIDEO!

Great way to explain layers. Using plastic slides to explain is genius. Cleared up a lot of things for me. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. I've watched a ton of layer vids and felt more confused than when I started. Very simply explained and no waffling about more complex uses for layers. Thanks again Christin! 🙏

This helped so much! I have just started doing digital art and i found it really difficult to use because I was not using layers. I’m sure I will improve a lot from now one when I start practicing using layers! Thank you! ☺️

You've explained it very well. Better than anyone else's. Do more procreate videos and be consistent. You are the best..

OMG I wish I had found you a year ago. No video I have ever watched has explained any part of Procreate as good as this. Often I end up getting more confused. I have learnt so much from you and I really appreciate it, thank you. This will take my Designs to a whole new level. .I had felt so limited in what I could do on Procreate and knew there must be more. This is really generous of you I have never seen such a comprehensive explanation of layers. To think I thought I more or less knew what I was doing? Well I was wrong. I have pressed subscribe and found your Group on FB so off to join that to.. I look forward to more Tutorials from you.

This video was great. I just started using procreate and now I understand layers. Thank you for your time.

[cdrollins]

I’m planning on getting into procreate and digital art and I’ve always wondered what are the layer and now I know they are insanely helpful! Thanks!

[ekatrinya]

You are an excellent teacher! This is exactly the information I was looking for taught in a way that I could really grasp, thank you!

[bnyzhny]

Been confused re: black, gray, white cover-reveal layer masking. - now I’ve Got it. This tute is SOOO Clear and Complete - Thank you!👏🥰

[SophieBird]

What a great teacher you are! I get so overwhelmed watching other videos of people who really know their stuff it seems, and are very perhaps very creative, but they talk so fast! And totally lose me. I finally feel that I might be able to grasp Procreate after listening to you. Thank you so much!

[rosemarylutz]

That was the best tutorial on layers for a newbie to digital painting. I was so frustrated. Many thanks!

[CherylGoer]

Girl! Thank you so much for explaining it in real life too! I've wanted to learn this but keep putting it off. Glad I found your video!😀

[sassafrassity]

Excellent explanations. I wasn't looking for the layers concepts, but was looking for help with clipping masks. Thank you.
