How To Use Reference Grids for Symmetry in Procreate on the iPad

[@sabsi4137]

Hi Jane,
I am really new to procreate.
Thanks a lot for your video.
But, could you explain or make a video on how to get accurate (same) spaces between all circles I want to draw. As there is no ruler in procreate and only the 2D grid where one can change the dimensions (in my case a 5mm space) I struggle with circle drawing in this case.
Do you have an idea on this?

I’m struggling to figure out how to make a perfect 5 petal flower with procreate... can anyone help me??

Love this feature! Thanks for posting the tute!!

So glad you enjoyed, thanks

Hi Jane - I've noticed the circle templates you use are in sRGB. Do you use the same for drawing the mandalas? Should we up to P3, if we have the option? .....Actually, is it a general rule to use P3 for any new template, no matter the size or resolution? [Thanks]

[@jspcreate]

Hi, yes, I have always used the sRGB and not overly familiar with the P3 , I think Procreate uses it more often than not these days, but you still have a choice. I suppose it depends on what you want to do with your final product. If you are looking to print, I believe the sRGB converts better. But again not familiar enough to choose one over the other. The templates are just a guide, so I would make your document what you prefer and then just bring the circle grid image in as a photo laying on the bottom layer out of the way, if that works better for you. Hope that helps a little.

Any tutorial on making these grids?

Hi, is there any way to use the symmetry tool to create a mandala that is something other than 4 or 8 sections? I sometimes make 6 or 5 point mandalas (hand painted, not digital) and was looking for a tool to design digitally. Thanks!

[@saraloi8276]

It's a shame procreate goes on multiple of 4 only....up to now, I hope they hear the struggle -.-

[@jspcreate]

True, the struggle is real. Procreate is limited in its symmetry that way. I use iOrnament more now, as it lets me use any number of sections and it is a little more like hand painting too.

[@theangrykitten]

@@jspcreate I have iOrnament. That’s a good idea. Thank you!

What screen protector do you use?

[@walkingdesigns]

Nice Video, any way to add more than 8 sections to the radial assisted drawing in procreate?

[@jspcreate]

Walking Designs at this time Procreate can only do 8 sections. Autodesk Sketchbook can do a range up to 16 sections.

en que aplicacion se cargan las grillas?

[@christianrivera228]

Is this pack for Procreate 5??

[@brittanyhellevik653]

It would help if you tell your audience to have a grid ready, or link one they can use so they can follow along.

[@jspcreate]

Thank you Brittany, you can find a link to a free grid in the description. Hope that helps.

What are the dimensions of the digital paper ?

[@jspcreate]

Jacynthe Dickey5 thanks for your question. The dimensions of the grids are 8” by 8” and the PDF page size is 8 1/2” by 11” so they can be printed out on regular copy paper.

[@jacynthedickey5141]

Jane Snedden Peever thank you 🙏🏻
