Every artist was first an amateur. I think it's a beautiful quote, and you don't have to be afraid or ashamed of being an amateur. I was an amateur. Everybody is at anything. It doesn't just concern artists. But what separates professionals from artists is that professionals learn and so will you. I'll see you in the next lesson.
3. (Module 2) Gallery and Folders: that. Hi, guys, and welcome to the first lesson in our module to getting started today. We'll be talking about gallery and folders. I'll just pretend like you've never opened that before and we will go from there. So when you first opened the up, you will most probably have these images on it. This is just something that appropriate gives you as examples off what it's possible with this program and to get you inspired, they're not gonna be in one folder. But don't worry. We'll learn how to make folders today. So if you at any point have your artworks and you want to move them around, you just press on a network hold, and now you're able to move it around and drop it anywhere you like. So it's a really kind of moving back. And then there will be a time when you will have so many artworks that is going to get messy, and you will want to group them by folders. I love grouping mind by folders as well, so I know which work is still in process. And where is my character development? Where's my sketchbook? Where's my studies? Fine art, comics and so on. So to make a folder, there's actually a couple off waste do that. They are called stacks in here so you can take one artwork. And just as we were moving it around, you can move it on top of the other one and drop, and that creates a stacks that will be called a stack now, but you can always rename it. So here's the artwork. Inside are stuck the other way off. Creating it, um, is by clicking select. So that's first un stack these two artworks. We're just gonna take it back to the stack and drop it off Now we don't have a stack anymore. Well, actually, we do. But it's, um it's a stack out of one artwork, so you would have to hold it, move it out and drop it a swell. And now we don't have a stock since its gold. Your actual artwork name? Um, and not a stack. Then it's in our work. But if it's called a stack, then it's not in our work. It's still a folder, and you will be limited to what you can do with it. So another way of stacking items will be by clicking Select right here. Then you select the artworks you want to stock, and then you will see a stock option right here. So just click stack and we have a stack again. We're just gonna click the accent. So there's are some of the waste were how you can stuck artworks. I I just wanted to point out to use that. Let's say you have a folder, and inside that folder you want to make multiple other folders. If you click select and so that leads to our works, you will notice that the stack option is not there. That's because you can old Onley create one folder and then you cannot create folders within that folder later on Are So, um let's see how we can rename stuff. Let's say we created this artwork and now we want to rename it, and the name of it right now is entitled. So we're just gonna click on the name and we going to tie any name once. So I love this, of course, and you can add smiley faces and stuff emojis, which is really cool. So here's how you name, um, artwork and to rename a stock is the same thing. You click on the stock and you just write the best stock. And ah, all right, so here's how you rename stuff. Now let's look at some of the other options that procreate offers within the gallery. You can select artworks, which we've already been through, but where you can do with them is selecting one artwork or a multiple. Stop multiple artworks within a stack and then you can share them. So when you click share, it asks you what file for mint would you like to choose? Appropriate? Which is the original file here. You can also exported as a Photoshopped file and then work on it and Photoshopped. Later on. You can export a speedy FJ back PNG and tiff. So a lot of options, which is great. You can also duplicate. So if I click duplicate, it's got a duplicate. The whole stock Linsi is gonna take some time because thes are large files. But the thing is that it's going to reserve all the layers and effect, so it's gonna be the same, just like if you were duplicating some kind of folder on your PC or Mac. So here we have two stacks now, and they're identical. But that's what we did. Another thing you can do is obviously delete. We're just You can select multiple items while you're working with this. So I'm just going to delete this now and it's gonna ask you if I want to do it. This group and it cannot be undone. And, yes, I want to delete it. Another way to access these options is by swiping on the artwork was do that again. I see Now I can share this artwork duplicated or deleted. Let's say we wanted Teoh, um, at an artwork to all already already ready Stuck. Right, Let's say I wanted to take this artwork and take it to my personal folder. If I just hold it, move it and let go. Nothing happens. What? There is two ways how to do this. You can hold it, move it, wait, open the folder and then let go. That's one of the ways of doing that. Now let's take it back. And another way, like a little bit faster. Way is actually not moving the artwork inside a stack, but moving a stack on top off the artwork. Let's see press. Hold moves. Let go. There you go. Now the artworks supposed to be here yet mistaking back. Perfect. So this is how you stuck Biblical delete. And I prefer other bulk actions. Another little dip on the final little tip I want to give you in this lesson is or rotating your chemists. So let's say you created a portrait canvas and then you have after you created a sketch, you figured it's better for to be a landscape, so you can, um, do it within the actual file, or you can actually even do it here. So you just take with your fingers on top of the artwork and you rotate. Now it's a landscape. It looks a little disordered, but if we open up that file, it will actually be the same as before. Just landscape right now, But to be honest, I don't use that future that much. I like just rotating. And then that's it. Because if we leave to the gallery, it's going to be how I rotated it. Landscape or fortune, all right, that also this lesson in next lesson we'll be creating cameras and going on a little bit about the interface overview. All right, let's get to it
4. (Module 2) Canvas & Interace: that. Hi, guys, and welcome to lessen to on creating canvas and interface overview. So at some point, you will want to start using this program. And to do so, you will need to create canvas, um, buds. There is another way to start using it. You can start imported so you can see an auction right here that I didn't cover in last lesson because I thought it would fit more with the creating canvas thing. If you click import, you will have a variety of locations to pick from, like on your iPad creative cloud iCloud drive, dropbox drive and so on, so forth and you can select a file and you can open it up in here and it's gonna create a canvas size for you. You can also select the photo option and you can select a photo and import photo as well. And that's gonna create a canvas is well. But if you don't want to create photo, if you know what insert photos within your canvas, I'd recommend doing it within the actual canvas so you can always modify, but still make sure that you're gonna have a quality size artwork. I'll show you how to do that later. Right now, let's focus on how to actually create your canvases and want to think about while you're doing so. If you click on a plus son right here, you will see this drug down menu. It will look a little bit different than mine because I do have a couple of presets that already created right so you will have your screen size, which is just the screen sized clip born square four K, a four portrait so on and so forth. You can notice that I also have Fortune 3 50 that's a preset. I create it from the portrait preset, but I had 350 dp I instead of 300 d p. I. So it's just something off my own personal preference. But let's see how you can actually create a custom size. You can grow up one of these presets and just slide on it like this. Then you can added it. The problem with that is, if you want to go back, you can't really go back to original presets. But if you know that, for sure you're not gonna be using that particular preset you can always click at it, or you can delete any of them. If you don't like them, you can also rename them. But let's just create a custom size fine. Here. You have your wit and your height, and you can choose whether you want to selected by pixels by interests by centimeters or by millimeters depends on what your personal preference is. Let's say we want to create another portrait size, so we're gonna go in inches and I'm just going to insert 8.5 in print and 11 in height. Then here is something interesting. Did you notice how the maximum layers amount has changed in procreate? You do have a limit off how many layers you can have, how many leaders it can handle. So let's say I want to only have a height off one inch. Now Appropriate allows me to have 128 layers. If, in case I wanted my height to be 100 inches, it says too large, so I can't even create it. But if I let's say pick 50 it says maximum leaders 10. So once you reach that 10 and you will want to create a new layer procreate will tell you that you, um, Kent anymore because your maximum the years are 10 and you already reached did. So just keep that in mind. We're gonna go with 8.5 by 11 and that allows us for 59 layers, which is more than enough. Here we have the DP I settings. If you're not sure what that is, don't worry. The only thing you need to remember is that some people create 72 DP I files and they are great for, um, digital medium. So they will look nice on a desktop, maybe on and they will look good on the phone. But if you ever wanted to print them, you wouldn't be able, Teoh. So I suggest always going with 300 dp I Because if and then of the day you create an art room that you're aren't in love with, you will be able to print it off. So that's pretty awesome. And you never have to worry about Oh, is this going to be enough quality as I showed you before? I have one file that has 350 dp I and that's just because I'm like overprotective off my stuff, so you don't have to do that. 300 is more than enough. Now, here you have another option that is color. And right now it stands for S R. G B. You can also select be three wide color, but I do not suggest it like ever. What is with this? Be three white color. You will be able to have colors look beautiful, beautiful, vibrant colors. However, if that device that is looking at it like if you're creating for yourself, you can totally do this. But let's say you shared on Instagram that people will see different colors because their phones might not support these vibrant colors that you have in your piece. Um and also you probably won't be able to print it either. So we're just gonna go with as RGB always. That's I think that's the best choice. But feel free to experiment, you know, here, where is says entitled, we're just gonna click on it and we can name it whatever we want and we're gonna name it, creating canvas a lesson. Then you just look done and it automatically opens the file with your preferences. That is all That is how you create chemise on stuff you need to think about now, before the next layer. The next lesson. Sorry. I just really wanted to go over a few basic things here. I just want to tell you that if you click on gallery, you're going to go back to the gallery. Then you will also have settings on Did we will go over. Well, go over everything. I just wanted to kind of like a little overview off the interface. Here's you will have settings. Your adjustments, your transform and select tools rushes smudge to eraser layers, colors. And here you select a brush size right and the capacity of it. Right. Okay, that's all in the next lesson, Um, will actually be going into a new module, which is gonna be all about tools. All about all of this that I showed you write down will be covered in depth, and you will be a master of them. All right. I'll see in the next module by
5. (Module 3) Settings: that Hello and welcome to Module three on Tools in this lesson will go over everything you need to know about settings. So just a quick reminder. If you started from a gallery, you can, um, do multiple things here, create stocks, rename your layers. You can some select and bulk edit. You can import import photos on files, and you can create your canvas is right here. So I'm just gonna go into a file that will load slowly because it's a big file. And so we're gonna talk about Senate today. Um, settings have a lot of stuff to cover. So, um, buckle up on those. Do this. All right, So the settings icon is right here. We're just gonna click on that and you will notice a lot of different sub settings, as I call them. Let's begin at the beginning with image. So the images you can insert a file, which is again, it's gonna open the same thing. And you can insert any file you can insert a photo which is gonna open your personal photo library, and you can answer any of the photos. You can also take a photo if you wanted to and then it's gonna open your camera and you can take a photo. It's just do that. Here is a photo. Then you can click, retake or useful to. Actually don't recommend this, but it's pretty much the same as if you insert a photo so it works in the same way it creates a new layer, and then you can add it it on. Do lots of cool stuff about it. Um, you can cut, copy and copy canvas. So if you have a layer selected, it's going to cut it for you. Let's say here I have a snow later on. That's 12 of these that's unlocked this year. Okay, here's way. Have hurt right on months effort later. That's cut. She's gone. Now we can paste her into a different. We're just gonna based her back in. All right, so that's pretty much how it looks. Now. The next one is canvas, and this one is a means, so they now have drawing guy it. Let's just go over that right? Right now, the drawing guide is turned off, but we can turn it on here and see what happens if you look. There are little squares, which are your drawing guide, but they don't have to be squares, and you can modify absolutely everything about them so you can click at a drawing guide and you will have a thought, a lot of different options. Right now I'm set a to G grid. I can select the color that I want off the grid. All right, I can select the thickness or thinness so have visible. Do I want it? I can select the capacity. Maybe I don't want to bother me that much, but I still want to see it. Or if I don't care, then I can just do that. And I can select a grid size, which is really cool, cause if you go to the top top and the starting point is in the middle, then and separates it into four exact rectangles in this case, Or I could make them like Super Super Tiny depends on what you wanted to write. Um, and here is a really who think this is called assistant joint. So let's keep it off and see how this to degrade could be helpful. I couldn't done to say that if you notice the grid is not on any layer. It will never show up on your final artwork, and it also doesn't get recorded on your video that we'll talk about later. So in case you wanted to like, draw some, I don't know squares or you're creating patterns, and you want help with how to create these patterns. You can just use thes squares as your guide for that does, if you really want to make it still very personal and like not straight. Right. Um, another thing about grid is that if you have a grid with a photograph, a swell, you can see how your photograph matches what you're drawing. You know how with pencil used to like drug grids on a photo and then draw grids on a piece of paper. And then you just kind of like coffee, says one way of using grazes Well, but you see that they don't really affect anything. They're just there to help. So let's see now. What happens if I go to settings at a drawing? I and I clicked, assisted, drawing my click Done. Look what happens now. I am drawing way off the page, but it just follows this line. Guess what that one's good for, probably for architectural drawings or anything that requires a lot of straight lines. So I could just create a square like this, or tangles or anything, really, and notice that I don't have to be on the line. I can be on the line if I want to, and it's gonna follow it wherever I start. Doesn't matter which way I go is just gonna follow that. If I don't let go right, or it could be in the middle and it's still gonna follow the same thing, right? So super cool, Super duper cool. Let's take a look. What else it can dio, because it can do many other cool things at it. Drawing right. So now we have Arizona. Patrick. I think that's how it's pronounced. Don't kill me if it's not. Take a look at that. So it's like a lot of little triangles. It's a really nice, um shape and can also be very, very useful if you're not looking for straight lines but rather tilted lines. For example, all the same settings everywhere, Um, assistant drawing turned on, and we can see that now we have some tilted lines just also really useful. It's great for like, um, maybe I wanted the dress toe have some shapes or something in a, but it's just pretty cool just to have it available. I don't delete that layer, all right? And let's look at some other options. We have perspective. Okay, perspective. As you can see, there's nothing here right now. There's no guys, but it also says here top to create a vanishing point. Let's say my vanishing point is her face. Oh, yeah, I was supposed to talk with a finger. All right, so here is our vanishing point. We can move it around if we don't like having goals, we can make, um, rotated and, yeah, tremendous amount, all that stuff, all that good stuff. It's not just pretend it's on her face. Click assisted drawing. Let's make it straight and click done. So now we have this as our horizon line. How would that be helpful? Let's get rid of her background and ate a new file. And let's say we want the background to be late ish blue. Okay, let's just follow. All right? Not assisted. Something's off grid. That's what I'm thinking. Okay, so here's what happened. I wasn't this layer. And while I'm on this layer, I could do whatever I want, right. I have to go to this layer to actually get help from these, um, assistant drawings. That is very important. Whenever it says the sister on the layer, that's the only player that will allow you to use the grid assistance. And if you don't want to use it, just go to a different layer and do whatever you want, right? But here's our assistant layer. Just let's create a lot of different lines and you will notice that day Change a lot. They're all straight lines, so that's like, really great. And it's cool for like, let's say comics and you will have that really awesome effect. It doesn't even erase properly because it's still races based on this. Just a drunk. No, let's say you did something with the assisted drawing on and you love it, but you don't want it to be on her face. One. You can move it down, and I she's on top. So that's the drawing is at the bottom, and you can see it on her face anymore, or you can go in and here. If you click on it again on the later the drawing assist has a check mark beside it. If you click on it again, it won't have a check mark on it. And now you can use it without being worried that it's going to be an assisted drunk because it's not. And now, if I want to keep creating these lines, they will be. They won't be following, so they won't be following the grit. And if we want to bring it back, we click on the layer again. Click drawing assist and it's gonna fall of the lines again. Over is the Bring back the old there and let's go over the last drawing guide, which is the symmetry. Now you see it divides your canvas in half. You can also move it around so it divides it wherever you wanted to. Let's just move it and keep it in the middle. Let's say you moved it somewhere and then you wanted precisely in the mail. You just click on click Reset. Here is this one has even more auctions, so we went over. Some of them already here is to assistant drawing on. Then there is dissertation. ALS symmetry. I'll show you the difference in the second, but for now, we'll turn it off now. You can also select if it's horizontal cemetery, vertical symmetry, quadrant, symmetry or radio so much that's cool with rage. All right, now, because I really, really like it. Klute done. No, that's creating you, Layer. And and we're gonna draw something beautiful. Let's say you want to write a word and you can see it divided it into different parts. Right? Let's say I'm gonna start right here and boom, nothing happened. You can probably questions Ha! Check this out. So this is the drawing wasn't turned on c. I must stop myself all the time which don't freak out. Everything is working. If assisted drawing is turned on, then you're gonna You can create, like, a lot of different cool knees. I'll just do it on your layer somehow this once, assistant, we'll just create this so making a drawing assistant. And now we're gonna create a beautiful writing. So this was awesome for creating patterns or creating different mandalas or anything you want, Really? But it's pretty cool. I just couldn't wait to show you or if you were a lazy person. Let's say you're really lazy person and you're drawing a face. You're gonna make it vertical quick assisted drawing for sure. And then, as you're drawing face, your face will be like Now here is my face. And it's perfectly simple. Symmetrical. It could be helpful. You know, I'm not saying going do it. I'm saying it's up to you. Here is your beautiful lady. And you're done right? I mean, can't get easier than this. Okay, stop playing in a keep showing me stuff. All right? So I think that's about all withdrawing. I then here in campus, you can also foot cameras for zone to leave, but vertically. And you can also see your canvas information that you already created. How many maximum years this possible? Which is the video quality of this and that. All right, also, if you ever want to share your artwork and I'm assuming you will want to share it, you click on share right here on. Then you pick a four month. If you want to continue working on it and photo shop, you just click BST. Or if you want to share on Instagram J. Paige created pdf. Pdf PNG Anything so you can just share from here on video video. So this allows you for a time lapse replay. If the time lapse recording is on, if I turn it off, you won't record anything that I'm doing. So I'll just have to turn it on. And if it's already not turned on for you, just make sure that you will turn it on if you ever want to share your videos. All right, let's see how it looks. Come up. Survey. So it goes from the beginning off my sketches to the first callers I decided to do. And then how I didn't like them and I did the second ones. And it just on that it ends with our beautiful drawing at the end. All right. Says your time that you play. And actually, what goes really pretty slowly I mean this r word to commit maybe six hours and a reported five minutes. So it's pretty cool, But you can also move it forward and backward was just your finger. Quick time. You can start a life broadcast if you want. We can suck an extension that Queudrue Facebook and so on. I don't do that so I can help you with how to set it off. And you can export time lapse video. You can select full length or 30 seconds. Let's say I want 30 seconds that is going to render it. And the larger you find, the longer it renders. OK, but first I wanted to show you something cool. There's also a setting for how much of a quality do you want for your video? In order to access it, you're just gonna go to your settings, find to appropriate uh, and then here in time lapse reporting quality, you can click on it and select What quality do you want? I usually go with four K because I do export my videos, and I used them for, like, these classes and stuff like that. But you absolutely don't need to do that. And I don't suggest you do that because four k video one saved your iPad and you can just share it on instagram right off the back. You will have to open it in a different program later on and added it. So if you don't want to go through all this trouble and just want to share your videos as soon as you are finished, your art just go with, like, high quality. I think my body's pretty good. But if you do want to share your videos in the little large following and stuff like that and just be very picky about the quality of your videos, then I suggest for K another thing to keep in mind. If I change it to like, it's a normal quality. Right now, all of my videos that were recorded in four K quality will stay four K, But then my new artwork will be in the normal quality. So you can't change the past if you have normal quality all the time, and then you suddenly want to have a beautiful, high quality process off your old artwork, That is not gonna work. So you have to set it all up at the beginning before you start on our work. All right, so that one was Dad exporting preferences. I feel that this video is gonna be the longest. I might have to break it down or something, or I might not, because I'm sure you guys are having a lot of fun. I hope all right. So, um light interface or don't interface. It's really up to you. I used to use dark. I'm using light, and I might go back to dark later. I don't know. Just a personal preference now, right head interface and left hand interface inches changes the position off brush, size and capacity. I also change those up sometimes if I want Teoh Brash purser, look at this one I have to show. So when I start drawing right now, you will see my brush, right See you. That shows me my brush and how it's moving in which way I want to move. It's pretty cool, Um, but if I click FIS and turn it off or if you already have it off, then while you're drawing, there is not going to be a brush cursor, which is totally cool. It's honest up to you still, so I like it on, but it's up to you. Airplane canvas. I cannot turn it on because I don't have airplane or cable and stuff, but you can. So that is another option. Um, the's options rapid undue delay quickly and delay auto hide interviewees and select masks. Visibility will cover later When we actually talk about gestures a little bit more, you can connect. Your third party style is here. You can add pressure curve. I like to keep his trade, but different people like it differently. Um, if you play around with it is just gonna the brush is going to feel very different. So I like to keep a straight for now. And because you're a beginner, um, you should keep a straight as well. But you can always experiment with that and gesture controls, which will talk about in gesture section. You can ask it once here and it's gonna show you see was new liquefied to a warp tool drawing. Guys will go over all of that symmetry. Look at that. That's gorgeous, right? Cool. You already know how to do that. You can restore purchases. There is advanced settings which are which opened exactly what I told you to open for a video, and there's a couple of more setting that I don't really play around with. But it's up to you pro great portfolio, which is going to send you to a different website where you can sign up and share your appropriate work and look at other people's appropriate work. Leave a review in customer sport. All right. That'll be all for settings will go over older gestures in our gestures. For you Who? That was a lot, right? I hope your brains all melted yet Take a look at it on your own and then come back to the next lesson. Well, you'll talk about different adjustments you can do on. That will be my favorite part. All right, See you next one.
6. (Module 3) Adjustments: that. Hey, welcome to lessen to adjustments off module three on tools where you hopefully learn how to be a master All of these awesome tools and know exactly what everything does. When I first got this iPad, I had no idea what anything does. And it took me a very long time to figure everything out. And I still told this they find me things I mean, mostly because they keep updating, but also because I didn't have a training. So a few off these nuggets off knowledge that I'm gonna give you will save you a lot of time, especially when we get to the gestures Lesson this one. Honestly, if I knew all of these gestures are probably create artwork way faster. And also, there's a lot of times when I made a mistake that I couldn't fix. But because I know a couple of gestures now, I can fix those mistakes. So stay really excited for that one. But we're now we're gonna cover one of my favorite favorite tools in here, which iss the adjustment tools. There is a lot of them, and they were all very amazing. So let's start with capacity. Um, just to give you an example. Capacity is something I used on snow, right? Um, so you can open the layers menu right here and you can adjust the capacity. So here's how this no looked like. And here is how I made it look because it's so close to the viewer that it actually looks less. You can see less of it, right? It's more blurry, but let's see how that would work with the other leg. So let's say we're gonna have a son. Ah, or like a flare. Let's make it big. I have a lot of players here. E All right, so she's, like, shiny or whatever. I don't know. I would never have it on my final artwork, but for the sake of this, let's go to adjustments, click on a pass ity, and then you can slide to adjust. You want just a tiny of their here. It iss just That's a little bit of interest to the image, I think, but obviously you don't have to use it. Another way to use capacity isn't here, just like I showed you. I can just slide it here. If I open on my layers, I click on the end, that means normal. And then I slide. The capacity will come later, layers later. But I just wanted to give you a no overview off where you can get the opacity Aesthetics. Another one we have is Gagosian for you know, if you have ever working Photoshopped, this is so similar. Like all the all the stuff uncovering here is pretty similar to photo shop. So you can if you press on it, nothing really happens. And then you have to slide to adjust, and at the top you will see a percentage appears. You're percent to 100%. And then it just select Teoh. Whatever fits you, whatever you think will work. Nice. Um, just show you what we can do with it. Let's say we select her and I want to make her hair blurry. I can select. Don't worry about the stool will go over it later, but I can select Click on the adjustments and corrosion floor, and then I can slide to adjust. There you go. Thanks, Blur. It's not nice. We obviously will have to fix it later, but it is blurred out, so that's pretty cool. Already. Another one we can do is motion blur. Never Scott work motion blur. So this one is a little different from Guardian. Blur, which is like when the Goshen Blur happens is like blurring pretty much everything and motion blur. You tell it which way the motion goes. So see how, if I slight horizontally, it blurs this way. Or if I slight uh, it blurs that way or sideways or this way or anyway, that's really cool. If you want to emotion like, let's say a car is moving that way like this way so you could blurred like that or something. You can play around with this a lot, or just like creepiness to your artwork. Either way, here you have other buttons that say council undo and reset. Undo Just under, um, goes back one step and redo. Obviously one step forward and you can reset to go to the beginning. Or you can cancel not to apply that filter First up, active blur. So we have a lot of blurring here, but they're awesome. So here you select the point that you don't want to be blurred, right? Let's say it's this point right here, and we can select positional or directional lets me select positional, and we started blurry. Everything except that part of her face is supposed to be a blower language instrument. See how everything gets blurry except her face and it goes from that point on. So it's like a perspective thing or directional you can select which direction insular. So right now it's only blurred the top right side, bottom left side. It's also really cool. And let's get split. All right, the next on AIDS Sharpen Sharpen adjustment. Let's zoom in closer to see what I'm talking about. We're gonna slide it all the way up, see how it sharpened it. Just take a look at her. I So this is the original? Looks pretty blurry. Um, if you sharpen it, that's kept pixelated, but it sharpened it. So really, it's up to you. Sometimes you can add just a tiny bit of sharpen unjustly that and that's it. That's the sharp into. If you ever really need to sharpen something, or if you need to sharpen like one object, you can select it and just sharpen that that store is gonna be noise. I love this jewel. It's really cool on skin or let the overall image. If you want to add a little bit of nice, let's take a look what that one does. You see that that is a lot of noise. But, hey, if you wanted to go for that style, you can, that's the best part. I usually add a tiny bit of noise, like somewhere it 6 to 8% just to add some texture to the skin and the overall image. Also, if you use it on everything like that whole image overall, it kind of unifies it. That could be helpful sometimes as well. That's the noise, and there's liquefy. That's a relatively new feature stick. A look at that one. It's also similar to Photoshopped liquefying. We have the size off our brush that will be affecting the image on. We have the pressure, how much we have to press and how much is going to affect it. So that's the Bush we can push around stuff. Let's say we I think her nerves should be a little bit to the left, so we're just gonna push it up a little bit. We can adjust the sun's Russia up, down, right? Whatever you want. You can have a big size and just like smoosh er to the side. Staying in just playing around and do some funny things with your stuff. Obviously, don't be so drastic, but you get the point. And here we can reset, which goes back to the original being goods. It's We can reconstruct that one. I'll go in later. Let's go twirl, weaken, twirled clockwise and toilet counterclockwise. Either we cool re sent. We can pinch, make smaller expend make bigger. And then here you can click on adjustment and you can select the adjustment off the stuff. You just it right? So how how drastic do you want some And you can also reconstruct, which just reconstructs the part that you select and it goes back to normal, right? But let's I want to keep some parts of it, but some parts of it, I made a mistake. Let's say I really like her face now. But then I started twirling here and I don't like the twirl, so I'm just gonna reconstruct this part. But I'm gonna leave her face like that, and then you're just gonna leave your adjustments and the adjustments are made by the way. If you want to do them tuck but do fingers, but we'll get into that later. Um, that was the liquefied. Now let's talk briefly about hue, saturation and brightness, where you can change the here, the situation and the brightness off your image reset. You can cook preview to go back and forward between the original and the new. One you can do if you don't like some of the settings, and you can obviously reset to go back to the original. Then there's the car melons, which you so like on how much do you wanted to go to the red or sigh in green or magenta and you selected for highlights Midtown's and shadows. So that's different parts off your image that you were affecting again. Preview and reset on. Undo all of that. Um, curse. You can select overall curse off the image and tire around with that. See what you like. What effect like you can also just focus on the reds, and you can just focus on the greens and just abuse. I get a preview I'm doing Reset and Rick Caller. That's the last one. So whatever called, I have selected here I have this little thing that moves like a cursor and whatever caller it pops on, it's going to re colorant. If I wanted her dress yellow, I could do not or her phase or her hair. But you can see that it's elects very weird apartment. Let's say I wanted her hair to be yellow, but I don't want it to affect her hair. You can also top and 0 30 Sorry, flawed. That's how much off a collar effect it will have. So there's blue in here, but there's also blew in her hair, so that's why it effects it. But if I don't want to affected that month, I can always adjust. Try to see how much of an adjustment I can actually make. It could also give you like some pool effects. It's really fun. Teoh play around with that again. I'm due in council. That would be all for adjustments, and they are my favorite part because it's super fun to play run with um, and we will be playing around with them a little bit later, after we get to know appropriate, better. All right, that will be all for this lesson. I'll see you the next one
7. (Module 3) Select and Transform Tools: that. Hello and welcome back, Teoh. Our new lesson on selection and transformed tools. So previously we already covered this settings, the adjustments. And now all that's left is thes two bad guys right here. Okay, so let's start with this one. This is a selection tool and you can select with FREEHAND or automatic. Let's see what the difference is far. That's just pretend that we want to select her glove. Obviously, I didn't do a good job rendering and or anything stolen. See if we can improve it. Mr This. Let's make a selection here. And then I click on this little gray circle right here. And here is what I have selected. You will notice the little stripes on sides. That's what's not selected. So then the part of the per skin here is selected, but here it's not. But I don't want it to be selected. So what do I dio? Well, I'm just gonna go make a selection around it, and then you will see two new options appear to select and remove from selection. In this case, we want to remove it from selection, so I just click on it and it's removed. It's no longer selected. However, I do want the rest of her glove to be selected. So I'm just going to quickly go over it like this and add to selection. Obviously not a perfect job, rather a terrible one. But it's just to show you how you concerned stuff. Let's just quickly dis elect this. That bothers me. All right, So that's how you know this glove is now selected. Know what can we do with this? We can invert that this election. So now everything is selected except the globe. We can inverted back and we can clear selections if we no longer want it or we can duplicate it in case you want a duplicate. And if we click on that, you're like, Oh, nothing happened. Well, actually, there is a new layer. Now the just holds this this leather glove here it iss, and that's really really useful because sometimes you want to have multiple objects or you want to make changes, but you're not sure about it yet. You can always make a duplicate and just work from there. Let's go back to remain stuff and I'll show you another thing. You can make a selection right, And then you can make multiple other selections so they don't have to touch each other. And it can be in any parts, any shapes. And now all these shapes are selected. We can collect on this election to again and hold it. It's going to say mask reloaded. It kind of locked it. So now you believe and we want it back. If we just click once, it's gonna ask us to select. It'll again. But if we click and hold in, reloads the mess, you're welcome. That's one of those nuggets that I wish I had known before. But now I know it's a just, And then again you will have to click and hold and then leave. So then you can reload it again. Okay, Now, why would you even need to select stuff? Well, I made this selection and I had a duplicate of it. Let's go back to the part words, actually, Perfect. Here it is, right. So I made a duplicate, and now let's say I want to make a change, but I'm not sure about it. So because I do have a duplicate, I can go in adjustments that we covered before and make any adjustments that I wanted. Say I want to make it a little bit of a different you. I wanted, like, whatever color. So I wanted to stand out a little bit more and then I can go ahead and do a color balance like just make something ugly out of it on the head. It can go to pervs, play around with curves and two different stuff. And then I'm like, Whoa, I actually hate this. What if you left back to the gallery and you come back and you cannot undo anymore? This just keeps you safe at any point you can decide. Screw this. That's not cool. I don't want this or I just wanted change the opacity, which you can also do here, which we learned about. Another cool thing you can do with selections is that let's say you want to um I don't know . Um, change the color off these flowers so you select them beautifully and nicely, and then you take your color and you rub it in That selection Let go. And now it's select and it was dropped. You want to change the color of her lips. You still like them. You drop it. Beautiful, right? Amazing. So much part. So sections a really cool like that. Let's delete this layer and go a little bit further. So what else you can do? Um, with selections is once you select something you can go to transform to and then you can play around with it. That's another way you can use it. But let's just talk about transform Tool on its own. It's not just gonna have my main layer selected off the girl and let's like I don't like where she cents. I'll take it. Transform Tool, Sir, I just want you to be able to see it. All right, let's do that. Take a transform tool and then I can move her like a little animation. Aren't you losing? Yes, so I can move around. That's the free for So let's say I decided to squish her. I can do that. I can squish her any way I want. But if I want to keep the's exact settings, I just want to make her smaller. I can click on this tool right here that's called magnetic, so it does work like a magnet. And then now, when I try to do something she preserves every size like with and height. But just this ice off it changes, but the width and height proportions Status day, That's I wanted to fuck her horizontal. I can do so by clicking here. I want to fill her vertical. I can do so by clicking here, right? Cool rotate 45 degrees just rotates it for me. Some said the best to four portrait paintings. But it's really great when you're painting more of mechanical stuff or landscapes and so on . I can also fit her to canvass. So what that does is it takes the proportions from here and here. And it makes sure that she is fit from height and weight from but sublet from both sides. Right, So that doesn't make her fit Onley by height and then stops. It also makes her fit by with a swell spends would fit to canvas is and then you can always reset all your changes if you don't like them So magnetic really cool Tool should remember about that Now there is also a distort tool, which is really cool as well. Look at this. So now you have a possibility to use all of these little blue circular points to your advantage, and you can distort it however you like. So before you could hold on, Lee squish and Stretch, and now you can actually decide which way things were going. This is great. If you let's say, Let's say you have a room that goes this way and you have some nice texture and you want the texture to follow the road. Then you're just gonna do that, stretch out the texture, and now she's following the road. It's very, very useful. Especially great for different perspective drawings and the same stuff. Horizontal vertical rotation to canvass sick, crazy stuff is happening and reset. And now another amazing tool, which is work. You will notice that it actually gave you some additional, um, grids. This is because you can adjust all of these grids to have ever you like it, so it's sort of similar to the liquefy tool. But it's, um, it's a little more events. I would say you don't have as much control over the little details, and you can also click on Advanced Match and then you can You will actually receive handles that you can use. So if you have ever worked in illustrator, if you will be better off using handles. But overall, that's, uh, that's the work tool, and all the other ones are the same reset. Perfect. So that's the transform and the select tools. I hope that wasn't too worried, but now you know exactly what to Houston form. Oh, no. Um, select two automatic Select. That's the hunt for go to talk to you about just really quickly works the Samos freehand except you click on it automatically makes a selection. Then you can swipe with your finger to change the selection. Tresh. Hold right. Remember when we were colorings and we were changing? How much of the collar is the fact that this works Emily similarly to it? Where are you make different selections. So whatever's in blue is selected and then click on transforming you transfer it. So whatever isn't in blue is yeah, whatever's in blue is selected. The reason why shows us the background to be selected is because she's on a different layer , then the background. So when it says that something to be aware off if it says that it's all suspected you're like, Great. This is exactly what I wanted. I wanted my background to be selected and then you started. Bring it in a dozen. Move anything. That's because you're selecting on this layer so it will affect what they're you choose. If I choose just the background layer. And then I decided to suck automatically. This is what happens. Totally different thing. And then it just makes the whole thing cool. Cool. Uh, now we're done. Alright, since the next lesson.
8. (Module 3) Layers: that. Hello, guys. And welcome to the new lesson. This one's gonna be on layers, everything about layers. I know this course gets a little technical of times, and you just can't wait to get to drawing. But I promise you, this is gonna be worth it, because you will save you a lot of time in the long run to know what possibilities you have with the program. Just trust me on this one. Okay? So right now we're gonna talk about layers. Let's just start by opening and new file. Yeah, that sounds good. Okay. So to access layers, you will just go to this setting right here where you can access your layers, and it's usually going to say background color and layer one. So whatever you select this slayer you're working on, obviously if you have ever worked in any, there's some years after before you know this, but just I want to make sure everybody's on the same page. Harris photo show. Uh, sorry for Creed. Layer one, which you can rename. We can click, and it says here rename. So once you click on a layer, it has some additional options. You can work with. We already went, um, through one of them, which does not belong here because we don't have grace turned on. But if we were to go here and turn on the drawing guide, we would have one more additional option. That Onley appears when you're drawing. Guard is turned on and we already went over it. If you selected your lines and joints will be based on this grid court. He was turned it off. You don't need it right now. We're just gonna go over a few things. How to create a new layer. Here is a plus sign layer two. Perfect. Now you have two layers. How to move them are out Joes like this. You can move them around to want. You want this to be a good bottom. You go to the bottom. What's so special about background color layer? Well, for one, it's a little different right than other ones. Thes ones are great automatically because they are transparent and this one is filled with color. If we turn it off, you will notice that everything changes and everything seems to be transparent now. Well, that's because it iss And if one day you decided to create his beautiful sticker off a heart. Then this is the fall you need to create a sticker. If this is your file, you can't create a sticker because then you have a background color. And this way you have a transparent. So you would just say would like S P and G or something right crew. So background color is also special, because if you click on it, you can't actually drawn it or anything. Well, you can do here is automatically so that any color you want to be working with. But if you don't like using this, you can always turn it off and half one layer Oops and have one there underneath. That's going to be your background there. So let's say we turn it off. We make this back ground layer and we just fill it in. That's another thing I want to talk about. If we click on here, let's just select a different color we can rename, which we already know. There's also fell layer option. If we click on Phil layer, it automatically fills our layer with that color. Whatever call we have selected, we can also that changed him click feel layer and fills it again So this could act is your background color that you can also drawn if you wanted to. No, the next option. Yeah, select, we click select. It automatically opens this electoral that we already covered. And it's select Onley once on this there and then if you wanted to you adjust it or failed with different color, whatever your heart desires, right? So that's how it selects justice items. You can just feel the layer. And if I click it, that's gonna fail delayer as it was before. Okay, then we have clear which deletes the layer. Then we have awful look all right. That's what This one is really important. And I will cover it in depth in a different lesson because it deserves its own lesson. But if we click awful lock, you will notice something happened to the thumbnail. So pay attention. Also. Look, we have squares around our joy. No, What that means is that this drawing that behalf is locked. If I wanted to draw on a side right now, I wouldn't be able to However, let's say I wanted to give a shadow to this heart if I start drawing here. Nothing happens. But as soon as I go over the actual drawing, I can draw on it. So it just looks this particular place that you're already drawn on that you can Onley drove with then that that particular drawing now, but not outside it. And so if I click filled layer now, it only feels the layer that's looked Onley feels that part that's looked. This is really cool, really useful, especially for creating characters and creating paintings, and we'll go over that later. But I just want you to know that's how you can access it. We can mask. So let's just go back to our regular layer, which is not all flocked anymore. And masks work just like they would anywhere else. The only work with black and white. A lot of comedians, a race and why'd pretty much means don't race so black means Shar white means don't show, and this is the parts are going to be hit it masking. It's pretty cool, Um, and then you can also invert the mask and just keep the other part, or you can clear and just get rid of the mask. So by the way about getting rid of layers you can so wipe on them. You can lock them, duplicate them and delete them. So let's delete this mass clear and let's lock this layer. So here we have our heart. We're going to lock it. Well, that does is if I wanted to draw on this, I wouldn't be able to. And it's going to pop up locked layer selection. The grass faction contains locked items. Would you like to open? There's cancel or open? There's when I opened. There's it doesn't automatically D. Lockett, you have Sorry, unlocking. You have to swipe again and select Unlock so pretty much you can touch it. And this feature is a lifesaver. One time I had a sketch, right? So I had a sketch and I was like, OK, I'll just have this beautiful sketch and I'm gonna adding to it later, right? And while I was adding Inc, I forgot to open a new layer time. She's like, Oh, yes, this is a beautiful drawing. And then I'm gonna print it off after I delete this catch because I don't want it to look Massey. And when I went inside, I realized It was on the same layer so I could not delete the sketch layer. My ink drawing wasn't clean. I could do other stuff with filters, which I have done, but it was a pain in the butt. It's not worth it. So if you have a sketch layer that you or any later that you don't ever want to touch Lockett. Okay, just a piece of advice to save you suffering that I had to do, I had to have had to have a lot of suffering with different stuff. But now I know where things and it's much more easy. All right, So this is that Locke duplicate. I want this hard to be duplicated. I can duplicate it like this that I can move it around if I want to break. So we went over this. We can delete, uh, we can retain select coffee. Let's say coffee. And then if I wanted to paste it in a different document, I just go to a different document. How is it that hard look so cool? I really wanted on this painting, and when I click on settings image, I can click paste and I have been heart movement all the way up crudest. You have this beautiful heart that I copied from the other image. So you can copy based between all these pro grade finals, which is really cool and sometimes really useful. Ah, we already know how to fail. There were You know what clear means? We're just clearing the layer. We can awful oxygen mask. We can drawing assist, which we went over already. We can invert. Cool. Right. Um, now we can merge them down and combine the pump. This is two different stuff. So if I merge down, check out this we have Lee or to one day or two month blustery, but let's merge them down. And now they're on one layer. And when I make a facts, I make effects to both of them. But if I don't want it to be on one layer, but I still don't want to take that much space, Then I can take this layer and click combined down. Now I can turn them on and off at the same time without having to do so for each one. But they were different layers, so I can still affect them both separately and even any time. I wanted to do something about this. There's different ways I can do, right? So let's just go back for a second. This is a group we created a new group and the stuff we can do with the group. We can rename it, we can flatten it merged on combined up. So if I much down, this is what happens. It just merged the two layers together. But it's still kept them in the same group. I do it. No. If I want to create it as one layer, I can click Father and I wants one there another way. You can create folders ISS by selecting a layer, swiping it to the left. Right, So it's selected. Then I'll take the next layer. Swipe it to the left. Now they're both selected Now I can set the next day or swipe to the left. And if I click on this icon right here, it made a new group out of all of the items I select. This is super important. Let me show you on here. So at some point in my drawing, um, I had maybe like, 15 layers that I really didn't care about And so I had, like, 15 layers that combined the same, um, artwork. And let's say they were sketch layers and different hairs and whatever, whatever. And there was so so many of them what I would dio. I wanted them in one group, and what I would do is I would select Layer go over a different layer. It turned blue, and I release now it's in one group. Then I would take the next layer and release. Okay, that's a group within the group. See what problems you have to deal with on release and select and release. And now it's a different group. And then I had to deal with this, but all I wanted was one group with all of these layers. So I have been doing that off, selecting and dropping for maybe, like, half a year while I had I put Per and I've had to do this very many times that it was crazy , and I was so frustrated because I couldn't get it to where I where I wanted it. So select drag, select drag, select drag. So like attracts. Let it drag one so much easier. Boom, done. I wish I knew this this nugget is like is going to save you, I promise. You run. Be so thankful to know this. I wish I did. I was. Somebody told me. Well, it is what it is. This is really awesome. Good to know. Now we will look at some other properties off layers. Let's go back to our main layer. I must go back to our little heart here when you have a layer selected. Here's the end that we talked about a little bit before when you click on it. We talked about changing the pass ity off the layer, which is really cool, right? But there's a lot more other stuff to it. There is different their moulds. If you know about their modes, feel free to skip this lesson. But if you don't, I just wanted to briefly cover them. They are grouped by different qualities like darken, light and contrast difference on caller, and each wrote effects the layer in a different way. Some of them darken light in contrast, difference exclusion and stuff. That and color. They are all used for very, very different things and honest that you just have to play around to see which ones you like the most, and you can always go back to normal. Or if you like this, But you think that maybe it should be less. You can change the opacity and will also change. Everything about this layers are really amazing. And if I could just give you a nugget of advice, then overlay is awesome. Um, for darkening stuff multiplies awesome for darkening stuff. Screen is awesome for lighting. Stuff like these are my favorites. So if I could pick one on a beach in dark and Dad would be multiplied enlightened, that would be screened. In contrast, I'll be overlay. I don't use difference. And in color, I like color and hue. So I think that could be really useful. And we will go and go in depth. When we talk about different ways to paint different techniques to painting, we will go back to the layers. I just wanted to make sure you're aware off their existent off the layer modes and that So that is all for layers. Um, I hope this lesson didn't take too long. And maybe I hope you learned something. You If you have any other Softwares, you probably know this stuff already, but if you don't, then this is, like, really helpful to know. I'll see you the next lesson, but by
9. (Module 3) Color: that. Hello, guys. And welcome back to the new lesson. This lesson will be all on color. You already saw me using color by going here to the color. And there's a lot of different properties. You can do that. You can change within this color section. So the 1st 1 is, um, at the bottom. Here, you construct if you want a disc like mine right here or if you wanted to be classic like a classic square that you can modify everywhere here or if you wanted by value values really good. If you have, let's say a specific color that you know the specifics off on, and then you can enter date here and get very specific with your collars. But that doesn't happen too often, so pretty much your choices are classic or disc. Classic is something that photo shop uses, but I know a lot of people like discus well, because it shows you all the colors on the car veal. So it helps you remember all the color schemes that you can use, like the complementary callers. This in that right? So I personally love disk thing. It's really great. So I always used this one and the bottom. You will notice a couple off different colors, and these are called color palettes, which you can access going right here to the pallets menu, and you will have a few pallets in by default. Um, and then you can create your own pounds. So I see this one is a default right now. If I want to decide a different one is a default, I just click on it. And then if I go back, it shows me this new, beautiful palate. If I wanted to create my own palette, I could click on Plus Sign and here's the entitled Power is by default. Now I can click on the name of it and create a name. Then if I go back, you will notice that it's empty. But let's say I really love the palate in this particular up work. So what? I can dio it's First of all, there is the color picker to usually It's with this square right here. You can start picking colors, or which is better is to just stop with your finger and select any quality like so. That's why I really like the color of her skin or something. So I just call here and then in the palate Abu click on one of the squares and boom, the color appeared. Let's do her cheek. Another caller. Let's do her lips. Another one is your hair stew her. Yeah, dress. And that's how you start building your own color palace. And there, there, then they are just saved in the palace. What happens if you don't like a parent? You can just wipe on it. You can delete it, or you can share it with your friends, or what even shared or you can do. You must deleted that because they don't like. So that's the color. No, Um, a cool, quick tip is, if you want to really focus on what color your selecting, you can just pinch on it on. This pops up, so now you're just focusing on balloon. There's no destructing callers colors around it, and you can pick a perfect color or you can pinch up to see all the other colors. Now let's say my palate. I hate this color. I don't want it anymore. When I select all of these colors, by the way, they are automatically selected so I can start using them right away. But let's say I hate this color. What I do will you press and hold and you can delete it. Boom, It's deleted. And if I want, I click by mistake and then I don't like it. You can always just delete it anyway, so don't worry about this. I'm also had no idea how to delete them. Took me some time to figure it out. But now you know. Um, all right, the colors. So that's why I was working with this color school on your layer. I was working with this color for the longest time, and then I was working with this collar. I want to go back to that color, but I don't want to call her Pick it. I can click and hold on the collar. Sir, I went back to the previous called and the previous called. So this is really great. If let's say you're only working with two collars or something and you want to go back between them back and forth all the time, you can just select, hold, lead, go and it's gonna show the previous color. It actually pops up here. Previous caller. Cool. Cool. That was the other 10 off how to, um, reverse to the previous color. Now let's say I have this shape and I want to fill in a particular color. Your Broadway seeing me do this already. But if I select a collar and I just ticket and rub it, take it and drop it. It feels enough. Automatic. Um, if I take it, drop it and I hold right. I didnt that go, You will know it is the collar. Drop trash hold and I can change this up. And if I go to the bottom bottom, you will notice that you won't affect the other caller anymore. You will just affect this one. And the bigger the trash hold the more other colors nearby it will effect. So this Do this again. Take a caller and hold and then select your trash. Hold right. Okay. Sounds really cool too. And honestly, this is pretty much all you need to know about the colors. It's really self explanatory. A few trips, tips and tricks. A zealous at this stage right here. You will not as your previous car and your current color. So if you need to make very light changes. It helps you to compare them side by side. Really nice. That is all for the color. I'll see him the next one.
10. (Module 3) Brush, Smudge and Erase: that Hello again. And welcome to the new video lesson on brushes, Smudge to an array stool. This is really exciting because we're finally slowly moving a hod to getting to actually painting. There's just a couple of tools we're gonna go over, which is that brush to us much in the race, which are the tools you're gonna be using all the time. Then in the next lesson, I will cover hand gestures and some extra tips for you, and then we will get into fun stuff and by the fun stuff, I mean, a couple of techniques I want to share with you on how you can start painting in procreate . But now let's start with, um, the brush to this much to on the race tool so you can see them all right here. And if you click twice, you can actually pick what brush you like to use. Yours will look a little different than mine because I do have a couple of brushes that I purchased a couple of brushes that I created an overall and modified a lot of it. But you can modify it as well. So, um, you can select any off the folders that you have here and it works the same as in the gallery or the layers. Once you get to the appropriate, you will notice that a lot of these tools perform the same way. So if we hold on the painting and move it, we can drop it anywhere my life and just let go. And now we moved it. It's not. If we move down a little bit, you will see a plus sign appear right here. And what that will allow us to do is to create a different folder for brushes. That's great. Plus, son and right, my new solder. Perfect. Now you have this my new folder on and this is great for your experiments as well as your favorite pressure brushes. Because I'm pretty sure you will find one favorite brush in a couple of different folders and they're not gonna be inside the same folder. But you do want to keep them inside the same folder, just like I did here with my favorites. And these are my favorite brushes that I use old time. So it just makes sense for me to keep all of them in one folder. How do you do that? While there's two ways on one of tha mom is to just take the brush and move it to my new folder. Wait until it opens up and then drop. If I just move it and let go. Does nothing is gonna happen. You actually have to. Let's do this again. Um, take it, move it. Wait. It opened that I dropped. So you're is the mining folder. New stuff, right? Another way to do this if you in case you don't want to remove them from your original folder, which is something I didn't intend to dio. But you still want to have them in the new folder, you can so wipe on the rush and click Click. You will also notice you can delete it or share it if you like, But let's create duplicate here. Take it and I'll move it back to my favorites. Fold. I'll do the same with this flatter. Take it. Wait, it opens and a drop. That's how you create your own personal folders. Also, in case you ever mess with the settings of these off these brushes, you'll be fine because you will have an original safe and that's something that I really recommend. Have your original saved and then have a separate folder where you keep your favorites or where you do experiments on the brushes. Now the cool thing about procreate is that when you select a brush, you can select any brush. And let's say I'll do this Nico role brush and sorry, I'll do it on a new layer and I'll just make a droid. Let's say I'm jewel now. Would you? Can also do is when you click on Smudge, you don't have to go start smudging right away instead. What? I said, just you dio Sorry. That's, um, she had one more color so we can see how this much in two works better. When you click twice on this much tool you can, you can select any off the brushes just much with which is really cool, because he will give you different effects. Let's say I want to smudge with a burnt a Therese murder. Here is the effect. I'm getting really cool. Let's say I want to start a simple brush, a totally different effect. Let's say I want to smudge with us script brush for no reason and totally different effect again. And of course, you can select the brush size and a passage e off this much, too, as well, which is super awesome. It's one invest features appropriate. I think on the same thing goes with very sore. You shouldn't just go and start erasing. You should pick what your razor should look like. Let's say you want to erase it, but with splatter effect. Look at that. That's pretty cool. So you just are wasted with a spluttering fact, or like with the regular brush. Or you can use the same brush for erasing as you do for drawing on. That should work just fine, right? So that's about, um, Now, remember, I said you could mess with your brushes a little bit. Well, um, if you click on the brush, you will notice a lot of different settings, and there are so so many of them. If you got my bonus lesson, we will go in depth over them. But if you didn't the most important stuff you should think about streamline play around with that. I didn't see how that affect your brush and also like capacity and start. This is really complex. But if you play around with it, just make sure to have a backup brush that is untouched. And then if, in case you mess up and you don't know how to go back, you will always have that original of Russia and you will not lose it. So I think that's really important. Where you can also do is you can import brushes, and to do that you can click on the plus sign, and then you can create your own brush from your shape from your grain, where you can import it from a place that say you got some free brushes on appropriate Web site or you bought some bushes. Then you just select the location of it and you imported, and that will be all for the versus. I hope you enjoyed this little little for video, and we'll see in the next one, which is super, super, super important. You don't want to miss the next lesson because it's on hand gestures and some extra tips along the way. That one will save you a lot of time, A lot of suffering and frustration, so I'll see in the excellent
11. (Module 3) Hand Gestures: that. Hello. Hello and welcome to our last lesson in this tools module on hand gestures and some extra tips. I promise this one's gonna be amazing. There's a lot of hand gestures in procreate that you can use to speed up your process and overall maker workflow way more efficient. So we will cover a lot of them today a lot. But before we do that, I wanted to quickly go back to settings and preferences. Remember, I said, we will talk about these a little bit later. Well, the most important I wanted to cover is gesture controls. Let's click on this, and there is a new panel that pops up. It has a lot of different settings on a lot of different possibilities that you can work with. You can decide on your smudge to Let's start with the beginning. So you remember this much to recover. Great. Now you can do so that whenever you touch your canvas, a finger will always smudge. Let's turn it on and see what happens. Okay, let's open the main layer. And if I do this, it started smudging. So now my finger act as this must, Right? Right. Um I don't like it. I don't recommend it because you can always touch it by mistake and smudge some part of your drawing and not notice it until the end. And then it will be too late. Your apple pencil will always smudge again. Don't recommend that because you want to be able to draw with it and do other cool stuff. You know what this little square represents? It represents the little square right here. So you are now changing what this square meats you can do so that whenever you hold that square and toucher can't miss So, uh, your finger while this is held will always smudge so you can set it like that. And for me, I personally started that when I hold that square and used apple pencil it waas much for me . I think originally stands when you press and hold you use it as a color picker. Well, for me I do smudge quite a lot. So while I'm drawing and I want to be able to smudge quickly, I just press and hold and I started smudging. It just makes more sense for me to be able to smooch. Let's so I figured a friend smudging tool, so you will notice the difference. There you go. So I want to be able to smudge it right away if I wanted to. So that was my personal preference. Again, this is the gesture. Controls is whole up to you, and you will find that you might want to change it a little bit later when you're more comfortable and you know exactly what you need while you're working because everybody's purses is different, right? You might not even smudge it. Also, that wouldn't make sense to you. Erase still all the same properties said your figures A finger. As in the race, too, with apple pencil touching up a pencil. This is that assisted drawing. Drawing with a finger will always be assisted. You can selectively thought if you wanted to drawing with Apple pencil will always be assistant this and that. I don't use assistant drawing that much, so I just didn't touch a little, but again personal preferences. I drop her. If I touched the square and I use my finger, I can use it as the eyedropper. I don't even need to send it, to be honest, because I can just touch. And this is the ID. So I don't remember why I said it like that. I guess I was a little confused at that time. But anyway, um, so you can use anything off these to have an eye dropper for me? I like to touch and hold to use eyedropper. I think it's the most comfortable one and also gives you a property off delay. So if I touch and hold for 0.4 seconds, it will open the eyedropper. If I don't want to do that, I can set it for one second. So always have to wait for one second until the eyedropper opens. Or, like, very short. It's honestly up to you. I just like your brain for a second. That makes the most sense to me. Quick menus. This one's really awesome. You can select how you can open a quick menu and the delay. I like the three finger swipe so swept down with three fingers will and woke quick meant not before we move on. Let's look at the quick Manu real fast. Whenever I swiped with my three fingers, it opens this, so that's a quick menu. I can create a new layer from it can flip vertically, horizontally. I can clear layer coffee layer and merge. Dumb, very useful. The most useful you will find it is when you're working. This is one of the tips I'll be covering later is that you always want to flip horizontally to check your proportions. And this what this allows me to do. And then I could work on it and then I can slip it back, allows me to see mistakes and create a better art. So that's that one. Now full screen, you can select different ones if you just a finger touch will toggle full screen. Three fingers by or forefinger top. If I were to select three finger swipe as a full screen, it would have a little yellow triangle light up just for a second right there. Because actually, it's turned off my quick menu. Three fingers wife. So would you have to make sure is that one. Property is sad on Lee to do one thing, so I can't have the three fingers wide for quick Manu. And for full tox screen, right? So for this one, I have a four finger top. You just go here top with four fingers and everything disappears. Now I'm just focused on drawing with that one brush, or I can keep selecting colors and they keep drawing from here, which is really cool. And if I wanted to bring it back and I can click right here in the corner, or I can just click for with four fingers again, talk with four fingers again. So that's not no clear layer. Also different months. I like to have scrub. So if I wanted to clean this layer is you will notice here it says so. Most of them are. Most of the gestures you need to know are in here scrubbing back and forth with three fingers clear still layers, not the layer sponge delayer you're on. Um, okay, I second this. Yeah, there it is. Clear. Done. I don't like using that. Um, that's why it's kind of weird for me to do this, but you can't do that. If you hate everything about that one later, you could describe it off, or you can go to layers, swipe and click your or tap and quick clear, which I prefer copy paste. You can also do a lot of stuff with that letter, your select and the general I disabled touch auctions so finger touches will only perform dash gestures. I don't want my fingers to do anything else apart from all these gestures that I sat, Um, but so if I turn it on, that would be the case, right? But I like it like this and rotate with pinched. Assume Bench doing gesture will always also allow rotation, which I have said you can reset to defaults and at any time if you decide that you don't like how it performs anymore. But I love how my performs, and it's honestly, it's just done for you. So you have to make sure that you used everything to how you want to use it. I hope that makes sense. I'm sorry if I'm stumbling upon words, but so pretty much what that means is that I can zoom in and out and I can rotate. So if I wanted to draw a circle, I could do that. Then I could do that. Well, it's the worst way to draw a circle, just say, But if you ever doing, um, like a line heart, let's I want to thank this at a line. I could do this. That's just too bright pink, so you can see better. I could do this and then I consume in and rotate it a little bit and do that and then rotate a little bit more just to make sure that all my lines flow better. Very useful to So that brings us to, um, the overall dressed for semanal dropped a pinch on. Then you can pinch to fit as you will notice. It doesn't fit properly Well, so it seems right because it cuts off a little bit of the image. But if I close the tools, it fit perfectly the canvas, right? So if you're ever like in a weird possession, you can pinch and it will just go back to now. You have seen me do this multiple time, so you already probably realized that if you do something stupid, top with two fingers and you undo tuck with three fingers and you redo that one is probably that the undue I use the most, and it's really cool that I can talk with your fingers. I can also go back and forth here, or I can talk with two fingers, if that's what set and you're a gesture controls now if I topped with two fingers on hold. Actually, if I go to settings, there is the rapid, undue delay. Let's make it smaller. What is a rapid undo is when you read a lot of different things and you hate them and you press on hold with two fingers and it rapidly induced the same thing with three fingers and it reduced was like very quickly. But, uh, but just typing with two fingers, I preferred more because I have more control over everything. No quick line delay. What is a quick line? It's when you draw something, you hold on, then it becomes a straight line. Did you see that straight? Good. Here is my wiggly drawing, but I only want a straight line. So I hope, and it becomes a straight line. Syria can said delay of how long you have to wait before the line actually become straight . Sometimes I take a very long time to think about which way I want to brush to go so from yes, adequately and delay to pretty big amount, actually the biggest, because sometimes I draw something and I want to think about it. If he was before around here. So I was drawing and say a line art us taking my sweet time. And then it became a line. I was really pissed. So that's the reason my habits set all the way up. Auto high interface and the mask visibility. This was also pretty important. So once you make a selection, right, you see this lines right here. If I go here to the selection, Moscow's ability, I can change off. Um, how strong. I want the lines to be seen. It doesn't really affect my selection. It's just a personal preference off How much off those lines don't want to see. So it's easy for me to continue working. I was just leaving with this. Now that's about the lens. So I think we covered everything here. Now, Now, this little thing right here is probably in the middle of your screen on either side, depending on what had interface you prefer. If you want to move it up like mine, you just swipe on it, okay? Supposed to work. Okay. Swipe on it, and then you can move it around. So you wanted at the bottom top. Wherever you want it, you can just give it around. No problem. If you have a straight line, let's go back to straight line again. Um, you can rotate and do whatever you want with it, but let's say you wanted to a specific degree. Then you can tuck with your other finger and see how it's not, because I think it only allows for 15 degree rotation at this point. This could also be very useful if I just let go. It's a smooth and I can put it anywhere like or 50 degrees. No, I'll show you something that saved me a lot of time with layers. And it's also a gesture or should remember how I showed you how to create groups, that you can select them like this. And then you create a group which saved me a lot of time. But there's actually one more that saved me a lot of time as well. If I just want to flatter all the layers, they don't have to be within a group after they can be anywhere. That said, I just want to take all of this good stuff and I want to make it into one. I don't want to select all of them and group all of them and then flattened all that. I just want them flattens all I do select the first layer I want and have my finger up on the next one. The last player I want to flatten and a pension together. Look at this. They're pinching squish, and then I let go. And now they're under one. They just be careful of different properties, different moods. You aren't here, layer, as they will affect the final outcome. But that is how you merged layers. Okay, I opened and closed too many times, but yet again, Just left and squish. And the lingo yet when you squished. Okay, Perfect. So this one, honestly, a game changer. Especially if you like to work with a lot of it from there's this is egging changer. So as I showed you already before, three finger backward forward motion that's supposed to go, that's ahead of their That's why don't you, dummy? Okay, Back from foreign motion to, um a race that again unto you with two fingers? No. If you want to access the opacity, remember I showed you can do something. The adjustments and you can do so right here. Well, there's actually another way to access capacity as well. I'm not sure why there's three ways for a posse, but it is there. So if I, um topped later with two fingers are with me, do this again, tough there with two fingers, I can change the opacity. That's another way to use it. I quickly want access. It just topped with two fingers and adjust. No, if I top with two fingers and slide, yeah, talk with two fingers and slide. Look what happened. Let's go back. Look again. If I top and slide, it becomes an awful walk layer, so you don't have to go here and select off a look. You can just tap it fingers and slide. That's it. Has looked, um, and that is I think that's all for the gestures. Already showed you this one again. That's another gesture. Um, but that's it. This is finally oh, for the gestures and for this module. Now, you are supposedly the master off procreate. But just to let you know, we usually forget 80% of this stuff that we hear. So, in order to actually remember everything I taught you, I suggest you go over all of them now on your own and try to remember some of the things I said, especially the gestures. Try to practice all these gestures, Um, and you will remember them. And then when you need them, you can access them all the time. And it's gonna be amazing because your work is going to be so much faster. The thing is that digital painting or any painting or creating art in general is already a very complicated process. We have to solve so many issues in our had at the same time, while creating an artwork, we have to think about composition on data me caller light, shadows, textures, storyline concept that we shouldn't have to think about the technical aspect of things. It should be a second nature to us. And I hope I really hope that these marginalised that you already went through will help you make all of this into second nature. As you probably already noticed, a lot of thes are repeating things like Swipe left, swipe right, select, move around. Hold this and that. So once we understand the Corbyn, you can apply it to any tool in procreate. This is really cool.
