    I have been drawing with procreate for years. If i have the time, i like to watch these beginner videos. Every once in a while i get that "i did not know that moment." Or its a "i forgot about that moment". Enjoyed my moment. Keep up the good work.

    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!🌷

    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

    @rachbronson

    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!

    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 :)

    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? 🤔

    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!
