Those tips were awesome! New tip would be more explaining of layers and the different masks uses and effects (I still don’t get after a while lol) For example: in this video you show masking and clipping mask. Both circles were solid colors. I could not appreciate or see the difference in effects after you recolored. So I’m still not understanding the difference. Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge!🌷
Wow great video with some great tips! Time to create!

This is one of the best simple easy to understand explanations on some of the basic stuff you should know if you use Procreate. I am feeling jealous as well because I wish I had this digital stuff back in the late 80s when I was in Highschool. Yes I am dating myself but I don't care !!!

I think the reference yourself part 5:11 could be good if you’re recording your face for a tutorial or something 😊
first, congratulations for having such an awesome job! Also i wanted to mention that in the wrench/video section with time lapse- that will create a video which multiply that times all your canvases will fill up your device memory in no time!!! Took me hours to purge all the videos on my canvases. Last, Strider is really cute!

The mirror is my favorite with my grandchildren. I Let them draw fun creating on themselves, and move it with the liquid effect. My older grandchildren like to play like makeup and monster.. or place someone else face or an animal on their face. I am sure there are other use for it.

Thanks for the tips! It was a bit hard to watch, because the camera kept refocusing. Try disabling auto focus when filming something static. If you're filming on an iPhone if you hold your finger on the screen it will lock the focus (AE/AF Lock)

You can do it! It just takes a little time and experimentation. Keep going 💕
Very helpful. Question - seems like when you did the brush favorites it "moved" the brush to that folder. I'm guessing there is a way for us to "copy" a brush to the FAVS folder and still have it in it's original place as well.
@rachbronson
5 ай бұрын
Good question! It automatically makes a copy of the brush into your new folder instead of removing it from the original category. At least that's how it's worked for me!
@rachbronson

But you can also duplicate brushes to be safe! Swipe left on the brush with your finger and it will give you the option to "share, duplicate, or delete" 😊

How do you guys draw those lines so easy... is it practice or the brush? cus I cant get those lines like I saw you when you were using mirror. ( maybe is called different , I used it a lot in Max) I am new with procreate , just my 2nd day today but I been using PSP and PS for the past 15 years or so on and off . but first time using a pen for drawing, fell little weird to me :)
@rachbronson
5 ай бұрын
Good question! Draw a line then hold the pen and it will straighten automatically and if you tap your finger on the screen it should find the true middle of the canvas! But of course brushes and brush settings help too. Maybe we should do another video just about shortcuts? 🤔

Please tell us where you find these modes. All of us aren’t proficient. Like you explained blending mode, but you didn’t really show where to find it because she went so quickly.
@rachbronson
4 ай бұрын
Sorry about that! The blending modes can be tricky to find. Open up your layers and you'll see a "N" by default on one of the layers (the "N" indicates a normal blending mode). Click on that letter and it will open up the other options. Hope this helps!
How about clarity of your speech? How can I share your knowledge?
