I haven’t been able to get back to creating channel content for a while, but I just created a new video that shows how I use a Clipping Mask for lettering in Procreate. Check it out!

Thank you for going slow enough for me to see what your were actually clicking on! So many people have their screens so far away and go so fast it is frustrating. Great video!

Hello Doug! Thank you for this video. Very informative and easy to follow. About the folded pen brush, are they on sale or would you be willing to share how to make one. I love the effect the pen created. Thank you!

[@marianagm5193]

Thanks a lot !!!!

[@nancielane]

Wow thanks so much

[@hongngocnguyen357]

Thanks for the tutorial. I enjoyed a lot, but can we insert in some layers instead of only one.

[@verageorgiou]

Thank you.

[@flo.driizzle729]

Thank you

[@DawkinsPlays]

Very cool. What happens if I don't alpha lock the layers?

[@ginocipriani7764]

Omg it worked

[@charlesmorales5737]

THANK YOOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ayannashores225]

What does locking do?

[@simmo5071]

Can you demo how to embed a photo so it appears to be deep into an object? I watched this repeatedly, very clever.

[@inkmetattoo8396]

Niceeee

[@shelzie98]

I can't get the invert to work? It inverts from white to black (as far as the background of that layer, but the letters will not come through. The picture stays no matter what I do and I am on the right layer. Any suggestions.

[@katanajay5535]

It inverted for me only when I had it unlocked but it won’t save it if I click anything is disappears

[@katanajay5535]

And when I try to do it locked it states to unlock or open layers

[@Calaneet]

Great video!!! Thank you...Your summary was cut off at the end...but the video is great anyway!!

[@aleggs2813]

could u give some details on how u made that folded pen

[@DougKnechtelArt]

The easiest way to get started experimenting with pen designs is to start with a brush you already like - I usually start with a broad nib italic. Duplicate the brush so you don’t lose the original.
Then I do two main things to make it behave more like a folded pen:
I go to “shape” in the Brush Studio and click on “Azimuth” so the writing angle follows the stylus angle
I adjust the orientation wheel so that the narrow part of the stroke is in line with the barrel of the stylus and the broad part of the stroke runs perpendicular.
I also adjust the pressure size setting in the “Apple Pencil” menu so that I can get a little variation on the broad part of the stroke.
As long as you are working with a duplicate, you can experiment freely without risk of losing anything - if you like, rename it - if you don’t, throw it away and start again. 😊

Thansk so much.. just learn ProCreate .

[@DougKnechtelArt]

I’m glad it helped 😊

[@farahasyikin291]

[@DougKnechtelArt]

Now you need to look at my video on using the “clipping mask” - I actually use this method more often for lettering.
😄 Happy Creating!

[@farahasyikin291]

@@DougKnechtelArt yes.. clipping mask much faster ..thanks again
