Thanks, great video. As a recommendation I would be helpful to add what type of brushes you’re using in the description please… I can never find the right option!
Thank you so much😊 and I really appreciate the recommendation!! In this tutorial I’m actually using one of my brushes I made for lettering because it hides the shaky lines 😅 You could also use the Monoline brush that comes with Procreate under the Calligraphy set. Here’s a link to the one I’m using in the video: designbundles.net/af/2048331-lettery-smooth-brush-for-procreate-lettering?ref=dH1t9v
I’m subscribing simply because I’ve just watched about 20 layers videos and none of them came close to explaining this as well as you just did. This is what I needed and was confused about.. Thanks
Thank you! I was watching an illustration how to on another “subscribed” site and she skips right past layer, as if we should already understand it. I watched it over and over and there was no explanation given. When I watched your video, I said aloud “thank you”. This was so easy to follow along and you have wonderfully basic information in such an unassuming manner without berating the viewer- thank you for saving me time as I learn the Procreating process!! 😊
You are a fantastic teacher! THANK YOU for explaining this with all the visual props. REALLY made it less cryptic than other explanations I've tried to follow. You are a Godsend! LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Thank you so much for this. I've watched a ton of layer vids and felt more confused than when I started. Very simply explained and no waffling about more complex uses for layers. Thanks again Christin! 🙏
This helped so much! I have just started doing digital art and i found it really difficult to use because I was not using layers. I’m sure I will improve a lot from now one when I start practicing using layers! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for explaining! I’m 47 yo and have been a traditional artist most of my life. It’s been hard to learn digital because I didn’t understand layers and masks. This was a great video and has helped me a lot thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your comment! I love hearing it’s helpful to you 🥰 Traditional to digital is a huge transition andis relearning an entirely new medium.
OMG I wish I had found you a year ago. No video I have ever watched has explained any part of Procreate as good as this. Often I end up getting more confused. I have learnt so much from you and I really appreciate it, thank you. This will take my Designs to a whole new level. .I had felt so limited in what I could do on Procreate and knew there must be more. This is really generous of you I have never seen such a comprehensive explanation of layers. To think I thought I more or less knew what I was doing? Well I was wrong. I have pressed subscribe and found your Group on FB so off to join that to.. I look forward to more Tutorials from you.
What a great teacher you are! I get so overwhelmed watching other videos of people who really know their stuff it seems, and are very perhaps very creative, but they talk so fast! And totally lose me. I finally feel that I might be able to grasp Procreate after listening to you. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much! After watching other videos, I got frustrated. But I found your explanation and I got it. Your selecting the options on Procreate are clearly related to what you say and explain.
The process of layering has been confusing me so much, and I have a hard time grasping information. This video is so well explained and i am SO excited to apply this. You’ve saved me so much frustration!
Thank you sooo much Christin. You have made such a clear explanatory demonstration that I could only dream of up to now. I am confident that my 12 year old grandson will just be amazed and interested to learn Procreate because of you with a little help, only for translation. I am looking forward to watch more demos from you. I didn’t find other ones yet, please inform me if there are any of them. Thanks a million time.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You explained it really well, and I really like how you took the time to use the transparencies… This makes so much more sense to me now.
Just Fantastic. There are so many Procreate videos with so much information-- that are virtually impossible to follow. At best, they surge through at a nerve-jangling pace. BUT YOU TEACH. Simply, a pleasure to learn from you. Thank you.
This made my night! Thanks so much for this comment and for watching! I always struggle with being too wordy and not quick like others but this positive feedback really helps. ☺️
You’re very welcome! I’m happy it was helpful for you. I’m quite a visual learner and figured it would be helpful to others like me who have no background with design programs.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD EXPLANATION OF ALL THE THINGS I GET STUCK WITH, I AM NEW TO PROCREATE SO I'M STILL FINDING MY FEET SO TO SPEAK. I'M GLAD YR VIDEOS ARE STILL HELPING PEOPLE 2 YRS DOWN THE LINE, PLEASE DON'T REMOVE THEM. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM 2022. ✌️🎅 🇬🇧

after watching lots of video about layers and still got confused, your vid is just so into the point! Such creative and simple way of explaining! Thanks so much! Really help me a lot dealing with this new field
I always felt silly for not being able to grasp how layers worked but I guess I needed a visual reference to help it click, so thank you. I didn't feel so silly realizing I wasn't alone.
ive bought my ipad and procreate for about a year thinking that i’d get into drawing using both, but the way procreate especially layering works was very confusing to me as a beginner. thank god i found your video!!! your explanations were very easy to understand and im definitely interested again in learning to draw. thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
Good explanation. What I did with the last example was to fill the heart layer and make the inserted photo a clipping mask. That left on the part of the image I wanted inside the heart.
Te felicito, excelente la forma como explicas los layers. He visto varios y el tuyo es el mas didactio que he encontrado. Congratulations !!! the way you explain the layers is excellent. I have seen several and yours is the most educational I have found.
@@CristinAF Hi Cristin you started with a drawing.but because i’m a newbie i traced a robin from a photo. The first layer i created is black out,i was expecting the trace lines to show in it,and also my ref photo disappears just as the canvas does, if i just want the traced lines on the screen. Sorry to be a pain.
@@Philshki82You’re not being a pain at all! I’m just trying to visualize what you mean and am having a hard time understanding what you mean. If you have a reference photo in one layer, turn the opacity down a little so you can see your tracing lines better. Add a bee layer above it to do the tracing on. Then turn off the photo reference layer by tapping the checkbox and you’ll just see the drawing lines.
@@CristinAF My process was as follows,i imported the photo turned down the opacity and started tracing on a second layer,which is blank. I should have created a second photo layer above the imported layer,is that correct? So i ha
Very good. I have had a hard time with it. Thank you. I also get mixed up on.which layer I am using and. When creating something remembering to drop layer where it needs to go.. Like behind something.
You are so very welcome and I’m glad it was helpful! I’m a visual learner myself so I knew there were others out there who needed to see a real life example. Thanks for watching!!
This video was super helpful, I'm both a visual and doing learner so being able to see you use the real life visuals was super helpful, thank you so much
I just started digital art a few days ago with procreate and it’s been very frustrating (and overwhelming) with understanding the layers and everything you can do with them. Your video has helped me understand things much better now 😁. Thank you 😊
Thank you thank you thank you I was so lost and everybody else that are on here don’t even come close to this video I appreciate it so much got a question though how about if your have a picture of just an out line and want to color the inside yourself how would I start the picture itself then layer or some other way?
ily sm for doing the real life example - thank you for making it easy for the visual learners lol💛 i’m a noob with pro create - i’m outlining a portrait, the hair, and color dropping, but it keeps doing the whole photo. i tried the the threshold thing but it just colors less of the photo but still not only the hair 😭 idk what i’m doing wrong. i tried moving the layers around and idk
This is the best video that I've watched, I love the visual aids (the clear plastic sheets). I was fairly familiar with layers but the clipping mask and alpha lock always seemed to confuse me, now I can visualise it all so much better. I now need to try to understand merging layers and flattening layers....Off to search UA-cam for the answer ;). Many thanks, liked and subscribed x
I know I’m late but this was soooo helpful! Thank you thank you so much for this! I’m new to procreate and drawing in general but I’m so excited to learn.
@@CristinAF - You have just turned me into a budding Procreate artist. Especially now that I understand how to use those layers. I just couldn’t get my head round it. Don’t take this video down ever!!! 👍🙏🏼
