- I love Procreate, it's my favorite iPad app. In this video I talk about my favorite and possibly lesser known features and tools. Here is a sampling of things I cover:
- Procreate's paint bucket feature
- how to extend the length of time it takes for the eye dropper to appear
- How to use brushes to make clean gradients
- Drawing straight lines and lines at 90 of 45 degrees
- Change video export quality
- playing with the perspective grid

You have answered literally every curiosity and every simple question I've had up until this point of learning the 'software.' The many tutorial series' I've watched from other people have been amazing in educating me on how to really use the program, but this video alone answered all of my unanswered questions in less than ten minutes easily. This is awesome. Thanks so much for making this! So helpful!
So many awesome tips Brad. Thanks for sharing them.
Ian Barnard Omg, love your handwriting videos and insta feed!
that apps are for free or paid?
Great tutorial and packed with genuinely useful stuff. I am a newbie to Procreate on the iPad - coming from a long time Mac and P'Shop background. This unlocked a lot of new doors for me. Thanks.
I just downloaded procreate the other day because I wanted to start learning how to do graphic art and this video helped a lot! Thank you so much!
DUDE, that perspective assist feature! That's sold me on picking up the add-on before the final release. The fact that it can be assigned to specific layers is absolutely key for me; one of my eternal issues with Photoshop is that the Snap feature is universal and never actually makes things do what I want them to. The fact that Procreate can restrict it to an individual layer is wonderful.
When will they make the damn perspective grid free?
OhMyBooda I don't know if it will be included as standard in a later release, but even if it isn't, the program and every single add-on would set you back what, $15? That's a staggering amount of value for very little money, given what Procreate can do and how attentive the creators are to updates and their users' needs. I've been playing with the perspective grid and it's awesome, more than worth the pittance they're asking.
You have two options: pay a measly $2, or continue your entitled whining about it not being free.

Its just very dishonest of them I find. The app isnt cheap for an app even though its a great app. Why not make the beta program free like most other companies?
OhMyBooda How is it in any way, shape, or form, dishonest? They're not saying that they'll give you something, taking your money, and then not giving you anything.
The perspective grid will be included for free in the next major update, it looks like, but I'm happy to throw them $2 to help fund further developments and use the feature sooner rather than later. Kind of like how I pay more to have something shipped to me faster. If you want it for free, you have to wait longer.
The base app is already insanely cheap at $6. It could easily sell for much more, but instead it's being kept affordable, which is wonderful. You get a fully functional app and have the opportunity to expand functionality with things like extra brushes, things that not everyone wants or needs, for a nominal cost. It's one of the few instances I can think of where in-app purchases are implemented correctly. The add-ons are nice things to have but you are in no way hobbled without them. (You know what sucks having to pay for? Layers.) They could easily have offered the perspective features as an add-on, period.
Sometimes you have to pay for the little extras that you want, like toppings for your ice cream or early access to a perspective grid for an art app. Welcome to the real world. Get used to it.
I have apple mini ipad model A1432...does apple pencil work on my ipad as well?
Thanks, Brad! Great little round-up of features. I appreciate you putting this together for us!
Thank you. I wouldn't have realized all these great features without your video! >
Hey, if you find the merge layers thing clunky, you can also tap the layer and a "merge down" option will appear
I never knew about these features, I started loving procreate even more! Thank you for sharing this video ❤
That flamingo dance was Pinky from Busch Gardens Tampa. I work in the same department as his care team!
RIP Pinky!
Whoa! That's wild! Also, sad to hear he died.
Brad, he didn’t just die. He was legit murdered.

wtf??
Ellery Christensen I feel like punching the person who killed pinky!
@@ElleryC91 This is so sad :(
Brad. Thanks for doing this video. I downloaded the app, went to UA-cam, watched this video, clicked on the description, bought the course and have watched it non-stop. I have seldom felt more prepared for using a new tool. You remind me of Karl Taylor who teaches photography in a similar style. Somehow you start with the most basic functions without ever talking down or letting the pace slip up. Well done.
THANK YOU!!!! don't have my iPad pro yet but this got me even more excited :)
I didn't know about the paint bucket tool until my two year old daughter showed me! I was watching her using Procreate and she dragged the colour without letting go and it then flood filled.
:) that's how I plan on learning some things! LOL My 10 yo daughter knows how to navigate things on her new iPhone better than me!
The way I do gradients is by laying down the colours in my gradient (eg. Dark Blue, Mid tone blue, Light blue) in the selected area and then turn the Gaussian Blur up to the level I want. This works best for a background, but works on other things too.
I REALLY needed that fill tool. Thank you!
All these years, and I never knew there was a paint bucket tool. Life saver.
Ikr... I've been using the recolour button the whole time 😅😂
Wha-?! I actually watched this with my jaw hanging open for 7 minutes. Thank you for sharing these!
NICE! that's like the best feedback I can get on one of these videos.
Sandy Boone I really recommend you do I did it and i love it
Amazing. Thank you. That perspective took and the gradients are so neat
You can hold when you drag the color to adjust the fill threshold also.
Omg I've been searching for a clipping mask on Procreate for ages. Thank you so much!☺️
Oh my gosh, how could anyone dislike this AMAZING video??!! Anyway, great info!
Haha, thanks!
only 2 people lol
There are always trolls who hate life
Thanks for making this vid, had Pro for ages, I studied art at school, but decided to work on oil rigs and became a trucker, I’m only 36... need to get my life back!!!!.... I live in the uk, Norwich... I need to get my mojo back!!!... thank you again for this👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☺️
@@thebradcolbow thank you sir :) ... how does one get a Graph paper Grid or a IsoMetric Grid (35 degree) on proC
Ive been trying to draw straight line for everrrr! Thanks!
Tassycrafty me too ! Can’t get it to work!!!
Winnie Gustafon 4:25 he shows how to...
No ruler? No Book, phone case, iPad cover, or anything else handy with a straight edge?
Thanks - great tips. (I’m part way through your procreate course too, and learning tons! You’re a fun and very gifted teacher)
Wow thanks for sharing! Extremely helpful!!!
The perspective assist feature was new to me - thank you for that, that will come in handy :)
This is so useful. I learned a lot!
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH IM NEW TO DIGITAL ART AND ALPHA LOCK IS A LIFESAVER
Thank you for this video! I'm trying to decide between this app and Sketchbook.
Amazing hints and tricks. Thank you for sharing!
Great vid dealing with something I use everyday too. A couple of things to mention: 1. Once drawing a straight line go to the arrow select tool and it becomes editable with two node points. Very useful. 2. When filling with a paint bucket watch out for a tiny unfilled artifact between the two areas - often missed but needs going over if you want a perfect join. 3. Okay another: the merge layers thing is so fiddly - i think you picked up on this in how you talked about it - I always go for a single tap on the layer above and 'merge down'.
Thanks for sharing those tips. Loved the flamingo!
Wow this app is amazing. Blows my mind to find these incredible features I never knew existed. The Procreate dev team is extremely talented.
Yes!!! Thank you for brushes! Thank you thank you thank you! Very helpful video
Amazing dude. This was really enjoyable to watch. I have an architecture background and wanted to switch over to this from my sketchbook from time to time
Thank you sooooo much for this!! You're my hero for today!
Thanks Brad. Great quick tips for using this great little app. I appreciate your insights, tips and ENTHUSIASM! Best...
Wow, Brad, what a wonderful video... clean, fast, smart and great production values... also humorous and fun... thanks!
Great info, keep up the good work, amuse I’m loving your excitement.
If you tap and hold the colour button thingie it will change to its previous colour.
Oh, that is a good one, I didn't know that.
Thank you for the free information. I really appreciate that.
Yep! Just made my decision to get it. Holy cow. I’m looking to start doing things like this and your channel is awesome.
oh man. I had wished I found your channel sooner! I've been wasting so much time sketching everything manually when I could have been utilising the proCreate features! Thanks!!!
Super awesome, thank you, specially for the perspective guide tip! Thumbs up
Your videos are so helpful! thank you!

Brilliant!!!! This was so helpful! Thank you very much!
should have seen this when I started using Procreate, not after 1 year! So many more unexplored possibilities with assist perspectives, alpha lock layers, tailored size canvas, straight lines and even gradients. So useful, thanks for the awesome video mate!
Great video! I just started using procreate and these are all the features I COULD NOT find on my own! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this one mate. Much appreciated.

Thanks Brad, keep up the great work!
THANK YOU! This was so much faster/easier than other videos I’ve seen.
I recently purchased an Ipad just for Procreate and I was having a hard time figuring the eyedropper, straight lines etc. AND YOUR VIDEO JUST ANSWERED ME ! HAAAA thank you so much !
Omg thanks a lot, I needed this!!
Brad! Soo well done. Thank you. I JUST got my first iPad Pro and this video is perfect for me. Thanks for making it.
Thanks this is incredibly helpful. How do you record all your steps during drawing and delete old files? Thanks
Man, 3 years and no one answered your comment. Did you eventually get it?
Hopefully
To delete stuff, you go to your gallery, click the “select” button in the top right corner of the screen, then tap something, and next to the select icon there should be a delete button that takes to a “do you want to delete this artwork” screen, click yes, blah blah blah, that’s it whatever.
Some thing means a Piece of art btw
thanks for the tips!
this helped me so much!! thank you!
Oh my god thank you for the alpha lock tip. I’ve been using this app for like a year and didn’t know it existed.
The changed that up since this video, now you can tap on the layer and the alpha lock is one of the options there now.
so helpful...thank you
Awesome! Thanks for all the info. I didn't know any of these
This has actually saved my life thanks for making this vid
Very useful, man! I did not know some features!
This just saved me so much time and frustration! thank you!! Great vid
Consistently great tutorials. 👍
Thanks for making this
Thank you! Great tips!
This is bloody brilliant!! Thank you so much!! 😁👌
SculptingMan is a Procreate god, and he doesn’t even try. He’s been our Uncle Sculpty from day one, and has done so much behind the scenes to make Procreate amazing. Thanks for crediting him.
