Ultimate Guide to Using Layers in Procreate

Using layers in Procreate does not need to be complicated. Using a simple project, I'll show you how to use layer options in Procreate including alpha lock, blend modes, opacity, layer masks, clipping masks, how to duplicate layers, how to delete layers, and how to move several layers at the same time. I'll even show you how to move layers to an entirely new canvas. You'll find more at the accompanying blog post. If you've ever found that following a tutorial leaves you forgetting how to do the tricks you just learned, you'll love this.

    Great video! I’m new to Procreate (and digital art in general), so I have a lot to learn and will be watching your videos many times. How do I ungroup, grouped layers? Thanks!

    I am so glad you found it helpful! Touch and hold the layer you want to remove from the group and then drag it above the group layer to outside the group and then drop it there.

    I can’t figure out why when I add a layer it gives me an opaque background and I can’t see what I drew on the previous layer. Any insight?

    Are you adding a new layer by pressing the plus sign in the layer panel or are you adding an image or something as a new layer?
