Thanks for this. I will make another video specific to the Android version of this app soon. I actually use the Android version more than the ipad version
The more I get to know Concepts the more I love it. If you can, do more tutorials on it (I'll search if you already have). And yes, you do have videos on Concepts..
This video was so informative. I really wanted to use concepts. Since I found out they shut down mischief which was a art program that used a infinite canvas as well. This video has made me buy the subscription.
Ten or fifteen years ago we would've paid _hundreds_ of $$ for a desktop app approaching this power, and hundreds more for a clunky Wacom tablet - and nothing would've worked as seamlessly or conveniently as this. Just pay for the fantastic Pro upgrade, and support a great company; it's _so_ worth the ~ $10 (or whatever it is in your country).
@@pbasswil absolutely agree, I was just pointing something out, as, despite the one payment only is really cheap (less than 20€) some people are not willing to purchase it, but vídeos like this will be a good incentive to go for the paid version.
@@pbasswil Anyway there is no need to say “just pay... blah blah blah” in that rude tone. You are not to decide what app I pay for or what app I use in demo mode.
@@FranCarreira I think his point is to support the app if you like it. Too many cheap people are always begging for others to give away their hard work for free. People deserve to be paid for their work and if they aren't, they will stop working. If you like the app, you should help to support their work and pay. That's all.
First of all, huge thanks for best guide we needed. Second, I have a question on Lock feature. How to unlock it back? XD. when I move object, locked part is not moving.
Hi, I recently tried the app, and have a question. I draw my sketch first, then I do my lineart, why is when I erase my lineart, the layer below (sketch) is also erased? I really like the app but confused by this...
Probably because the line and colours are on the same layer. This can happen when the layers are not created automatically for each material. E.g. When you manually create layers, selecting a tool won't create layers automatically for that tool. Anyway, to try. Just keep your line art on its own layer, and colours on its own layer. Then erase again to test.
Hello Teoh, I am a begginer in watercolor, I’d like to get a student grade set but I’d like your recommendation between a Schmincke akademie with 12 (tin packaging) and Van Gogh with 12+3 (plastic packaging). These are the sets available on my area. Thank you!
Is this a good android alternative to procreate? I loved it when I had my iPad but I've switched over to the android ecosystem and have been looking for a good app for art and sketching
the color palette isnot visible for me/doesnt show up at all. i also don´t have the star in the color menu to save favorites. any ideas how to get this?
iPad and Android have different feature sets currently. To move selected objects to another layer, just lasso select the items, then drag them onto a layer.
Ig bc im trying to use this on my phone that's why I'm not able to achieve some of these tips. Not sure what I've done but I've messed up my app pretty badly.
Hi Teoh. Thanks for the tips! Just one question; what is the best file format if I wanted to export the Concepts file to Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer? Thanks!
I have difficulty in editing files, especially regarding the image eraser, that if I want to erase the object it has to be locked first,and then erase it. once it is locked, then how to unlock the object. Thank you
@@handridesign There are different ways to delete. Lock items before delete makes it easy to delete unlocked items. Usually I will have items on different layers so that it's easier to delete certain items. e.g. delete lines, delete colours,
There is many steps to simply copy and paste an image to another layer. I'm not sure how to ask to do this correctly. I just need to overlay the part of a layer to another layer. Why is that so hard
If you want to duplicate directly on top, do this... 1. Create a new empty layer above 2. Select and duplicate selected object(s) 3. While the duplicated object is still selected... 4. Drag the duplicated object to the empty layer above
@@teohyc Ah, I should have specified that... with 'useful' I mean that (1) you can see the photo as a background behind the lines you're drawing (apparantly that's possible), and (2) that you can fill in empty space delimited by black lines, a bit like floodfilling with a 'reference layer' active, like in ProCreate, and (3) that you can easily pick colors from the background photo to use as a fill color.
This is one of the best tutorials I have come across for this app. The other are too fast and hard to follow unless you have repeatedly move the video time bar. With yours I don’t have too. Great job. I’ll be looking for more of your tutorial +++
Hello! Architect from Kerala, India here. I’m planning on switching to Concepts after working on Morpholio Trace for almost 3 years. The only reason I ended my Trace subscription is because of the low resolution import & export (there is a full resolution option but it’s too cumbersome in my opinion). Tried Procreate for a while in between, but it didn’t have the easy copy & paste options like Trace and Concepts have. Even the selection & multiplication options I felt were limited from an architect’s quick-work point of view. So thanks for the very helpful video, and hope you share more soon. Thanks & cheers!
Thank you Teoh! I discovered Concepts App through your classes on Skillshare. Procreate has been my go-to for digital illustration, but the ability to illustrate with vectors in a simplified manner and on such a visually pleasing interface makes Concepts such an attractive option. I am still finding my way around this app and very much appreciate your great tutorials. Many of the questions I have as I explore Concepts tend to be crossover questions about where to find functions and how to achieve results that I can get in Procreate. I hope you'll make more tutorials for this app since this one is excellent and answered many of the questions I had.
Unfortunately, the vector data is not saved properly. As in the saved vector art does not look 100% like the vector art within Concepts. What I usually do is save a screenshot instead.
Excellent video! You are a great teacher! I have had this app for years and I just could not learn how to use it, so I gave up. Now I am trying again. Thank you so much 🙂👍
1:51 4th tip is using Color Palettes - in my color circle I see no star icon (unlike as shown at 1:59) to open the Color Menu. I don't even have an empty palette at all. I am on Android.
@@teohyc Yeah, I've just arrived to the same conclusion. I purchased the essential pack first then I subscribed, but these features are not available. With the subscription I got export import (which wasn't included in the essentials) but a hell lot of features are missing from the Android version: Grouping for example, Palettes. I love the application anyway, and your videos are awesome.
I was about to give up on this incredible app, but your video made me a user for life. Such a practical app!! Thank you so much for this video. It’s a shame they don’t have this kind of information on their official channels, but I’m glad it links to you!
That's their Pro subscription which gives you access to all tools and some services. Otherwise, you have to buy the individual tools separately (one time purchase).

I love Concepts, but there aren't many good tutorials for beginners. Thank you and please do more.
This is excellent help for all of us trying to get the most out of Concepts ... thanks!
Your tutorial was extremely helpful. One of the best and covered many features. Please do more videos on concepts.
The more I get to know Concepts the more I love it. If you can, do more tutorials on it (I'll search if you already have).
And yes, you do have videos on Concepts..
Thank you Teoh for making this video! If you have time, please do more Concepts app videos.
omg I totally needed this haha my mind is blown YAY thanks for the tippssss :D
can you please make a video showing all the paid concepts brushes? i don't know which to buy
WOW this really helped a lot! Concept is pretty fun app, thank you for the tutorials!!! :DD
Wow! So many very useful tips. Thank you very much
Thank you Teoh 🙏🏾
So helpful this video! I really like Concept app very much but this video gave us a lot of good Tips.👍🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Some useful tips, thanks a lot. I have to try Concepts again. Only thing I really miss is blend modes for layers and objects...
this is great video, i got to know the app from your video
extremely helpful, thanks
Very well explained. I finally understand the app better.
Great videos, thank you !
An excellent video Teoh, a lot of the controls don't seem to appear in Android. A run through the Android screen would be useful.
Yeah, Android feature set is smaller than on iPad. Developers say they will match Android with iPad in the future feature for feature.
wow, great video! thank u so much :))
Really useful ❤️☺️
Thank you! but somehow I don't see the star icon.. maybe I'm just on Chromebook. anyways i love this!! do more please
Great teoh! I love your videos especially digital Sketching and digital tutorials. Your tab s7+ outdoor video was a fest for my eyes. Thank you 🌝
Very helpful 😊 thanks
Es un excelente video
Did you buy the essentials pack? I ask since it's still asking you to "Go Pro" but you're able to select and edit (which is listed as a pro feature)
How does this rate for Architects? Can we scale floor plans? Does it have a ruler?
There's grid and different units, e.g. px, pt, mm, etc but no ruler.
This video was so informative. I really wanted to use concepts. Since I found out they shut down mischief which was a art program that used a infinite canvas as well. This video has made me buy the subscription.
Thank you for this tutorial
Some of this tips are not available on the free version of the app. very useful tips anyway. Thanks
Unfortunately not all the tools are free, and I can't remember which are free or not. But those tools are worth buying for a one time purchase.

When using the lasso selection tool, you can choose to select locked objects. And you can unlock locked objects that way.

Which one would you choose?
Is this a good android alternative to procreate? I loved it when I had my iPad but I've switched over to the android ecosystem and have been looking for a good app for art and sketching
This is a very different app compared to Procrete. Infinite Painter is a better option.
the color palette isnot visible for me/doesnt show up at all. i also don´t have the star in the color menu to save favorites. any ideas how to get this?
The iPad and Android versions will have different features
do you know why my app doesn't have the star for palettes?
Android app does not all the features of the iPad app
how to create circle in concepts app?
I can't get your brushes, I can't set color palettes and alot of other stuff. I'm pretty annoyed I guess its because I have the Huawei version??
Concepts from Huawei AppGallery has not been updated for almost a year
I found no grouping feature on my version as seen at 9:25. BTW, can you move a selected set of object into another layer?
iPad and Android have different feature sets currently. To move selected objects to another layer, just lasso select the items, then drag them onto a layer.
Ig bc im trying to use this on my phone that's why I'm not able to achieve some of these tips. Not sure what I've done but I've messed up my app pretty badly.
The phone app does not have all the features of the desktop app. There are also different feature set with iPhone vs Android
5:00 Can this only be done on Concepts Pro?
The hard and soft eraser should be included free.
Hi Teoh. Thanks for the tips! Just one question; what is the best file format if I wanted to export the Concepts file to Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer?
Thanks!
You can try SVG or Adobe PDF with Vector. But the vector info/data isn’t going to be as clean compared to the same art created with Illustrator
I have difficulty in editing files, especially regarding the image eraser, that if I want to erase the object it has to be locked first,and then erase it. once it is locked, then how to unlock the object. Thank you
You don't have to lock first before erase. For erasing, you can choose to erase lock/unlocked items, erase current/all layers.
@@teohyc I just followed the instructions in the video, it says, before deleting, first lock the objects that won't be deleted
@@handridesign There are different ways to delete. Lock items before delete makes it easy to delete unlocked items. Usually I will have items on different layers so that it's easier to delete certain items. e.g. delete lines, delete colours,
@@teohontech7141 thanks
Do you have to have the starter pack to have the star option in the color panel?
I have a surface pro
layers?
What ipad dis you used?
iPad Pro 12.9 (2018)
I don't have the star for the color palette... Do I have to enable something?
Some features may not be available depending on the OS you're using. E.g. iPad, Android, Windows, Mac.
@@teohyc Oh, I see. I have an Android device, so that makes sense. Thank you for the quick reply!
I have the pro version on android and I can't stretch objects. Is it not implemented yet or do I need to get a subscription for that?
That feature is not available for Android unfortunately
@@teohyc Thank you so much for your answer! Really appreciate it. Then I hope for an implementation in later updates.

You can certainly trace photos. Not sure what you mean by useful though.
@@teohyc Ah, I should have specified that... with 'useful' I mean that (1) you can see the photo as a background behind the lines you're drawing (apparantly that's possible), and (2) that you can fill in empty space delimited by black lines, a bit like floodfilling with a 'reference layer' active, like in ProCreate, and (3) that you can easily pick colors from the background photo to use as a fill color.
You can import photos and reduce the transparency. There is no fill or paint bucket functionality in Concepts. Eyedropper can pick colours from photos
Hi Bro. This is Pro or basic Mode?
I bought the Essentials set (unlimited layers), and also many of the brushes
@@teohyc thank you.
🙏🌊🔱
App name?
Concepts
I dont have the star icon to create my own palette, i bought subscribtion
Android version of the app does not have all the features, yet.
Helpful. I just wish you would speak and demo a little slower. It goes by too fast and I have to keep rewinding
You can use reduce the speed from the video settings
