Great video! You have a very clear method of explaining the different features of procreate. I’d love to know more details and practical applications of the “selection tool”. Thanks for the video!

I am wondering if the toolbar for selection can be moved to a different position because it pops up in the way of what I’m doing ? Or is it just a case of shrinking the canvas down by pinching it and then expanding?

Around 2:50 it can get confusing for a complete novice and could use a more clear or detailed explanation. We have three burgundy circles and then you tap one and it changes colors... Like how did you get there?

Thanks for the tutorial. Do you know how to turn on one-finger swipe down shortcut to bring up the Selection tool menu?

Coucou, sais tu si c'est possible d'exporter les brush ibis paint sur procreate ?

In my procreate this tool is not working. I have to select the part. Then draw anything even outside the selection then undo two steps then it gives me the diagonal line layer. Is there a way to fix it.

FYI the drawing colour was almost invisible on my IPad Pro 2020 12.9 inch. It’s really odd that while you can select an item you can’t then make multiple copies of it on that layer...IMO Laurie
