Echo, how the heck did you know I JUST got an iPad Pro and JUST got procreate and am horribly clueless to how it works?! Truly a godsend 🙏🏽

[morbintime]

I like how you posted this while I was drawing on procreate-

[exscura]

Me: *spends like 1 uselesss hour doing the basic coloring*
Echo: You can set the lineart layer to reference so you can still color within the lines

Me: *screams while jumping into the void*


This makes me feel like I am able to draw more now omgthanks

Everyone knows the feeling of doing that tap motion on literally everything. My phone, sketchbooks, apps that don’t do that, I even did it in just a standard Wacom tablet that was hooked up to a computer it’s become part of my life.

[hotbunie]

God this woman is my absolute idol <3 She's the only Artists I click on straight away if I see a video notification in my Notifications

[nekoroogami]

I still cant believe that the background is not a room. 😂😂😂😂

[sirendrawsstuff]

I clicked so fast and woo boy I did not regret it. I struggle with Procreate/digital art, so this was perfectly timed.

[yasminjavaid]

One thing I love is going into "canvas information" and then "statistics" and it tells you how long you have spent on the artwork!

[lightfast]

It's been months since I've made digital art (because I accidentally broke my iPad and I've been saving for a new one 😬), but still, occasionally I double tap my sketchbook paper when I need to undo something and it takes me a second to remember I'm not drawing on my iPad when the line doesn't disappear 😳 lol

[emiliajones]

Right handed people: OMG it is SO hard to draw on a iPad at first! My hand keeps touching it!
Left handed people: Imagine how tired we are. Imagine how tired we are.

[coachjeremydraws]

I really like how you outlined all your procreate skills with a time-lapse. This was impressive!! When I first started drawing on Youtube I wasted so much time manually coloring things. Now I know to use the reference option! Awesome job!

[crystalrose_pa]

Love this video! I learned about so many features I didn't even know existed in the program! The timestamps in the description are super detailed and helpful too.
Quick note: The Rapid Undo Delay actually controls how long you have to hold your 2 fingers on the screen for before the rapid undo feature kicks in. For example, mine is set to .65 seconds, so if I continue to hold my 2 fingers on the screen when undoing, after .65 seconds, rapid undo starts which keeps undoing your strokes until you lift your fingers or it can't undo any further. This is handy if you need to undo a section and you make tiny brush strokes to create your artwork. To get a visual of what I mean, draw several lines on a blank canvas and tap and hold 2 fingers on the screen. Hope this helps!!

I just started to use procreate and this was sooo helpful thank youuu!❤️

[Prejippie]

Wow! I was just telling my husband that I hadn't been able to figure out the basics on Procreate and watched a few videos and STILL didn't get it! That is, until I watched YOURS! Thanks so much for going through the functions and demonstrating them with a no-nonsense type of attitude. I think using Procreate is going to take our music branding to the next level! Thanks, again. 🙌🏾

[twentysevenand]

I am in the middle of taking an online class (not on Skillshare), and I love that this is like a quick Cliffnotes of everything. I'm not done with the class, so I don't know if we'll cover everything you covered, but your quick rundown is awesome. I was hoping you'd say you teach a class on Skillshare at the end because I would take one from you. There just isn't enough classes out there for Procreate.

[ryen]

Thank you so much for this video! I got Procreate and I was so confused this helped me so much! Love your vids!

[AnnieNorthman]

This is so helpful for when I would like to make my own custom pins or drawings 😃 I’m no professional artist but I enjoy experimenting with small characters 🖤

[izzydoodlez]

Also just so you know if you got to preferences you can turn off something that keeps your hand from drawing

[Art-By-Ashley]

Thank you so much! Have been using this for a few months now and wasn't aware of recolour have been dragging each colour into each place, feel a bit daft now haha you're the first YouTuber to mention it!

[HelloKitty]

I love you so much Echo, I started with your sketchbook tours and then became a stan immediately... you have inspired so many of my art pieces and I am so grateful.
