You can set the initial sketch as your reference layer, on the layer above it then drop in a colour but hold it before you let go and slide left to right to decide percentage of line coverage, then let go and drop in the flat colour. It is a TIME SAVER. Try it ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ then on a layer above it, add highlights/ shadows/ light source etc
Still has the same problem of having a "halo" even if you modify the threshold because of how "hard" brushes work on procreate. I have tried with my sharpest and hardest brushes and it always leave a thin uncolored line between the color and the lineart reference
The thing I like to do is set the line art layer to reference which allows me to fill colours In on a seperate layer without using a selecting tool.

YOU SAVED ME. Now I don’t have to bother with selecting EVERYTHING.
Duuuuuuuuuude thank you
Exactly! Makes me want to do a tutorial that doesn’t involve selecting EVERYTHING to color it in.

Same!!! It saves sooooooooooo much time

You can also set a flat layer as a reference layer and then on the layer above it click selection, automatic, click a flat area of colour, and then click a brush, when you are adding more tones it won’t go outside of the selected area,
Thank you so much, you explain it in a way that’s so simple that other videos will not do.
make a flatting brush using a blank shape and blank texture from the procreate library. no anti-aliasing!!
Not gonna lie your thumbnail is misleading. I thought you were gonna work on that piece, cause I wanted to learn techniques to achieve a similar effect.
The title says “how to do flat colors” flats is about the base color before doing any effects or anything else. It’s the start. Next time pay more attention to the title and less to the thumbnail because it’s always misleading.
Your Procreate tutorials are a life saver! >~< I'm just now getting into digital, and I was so lost before I found your videos on this app.. Thank you!
Why don't you use the line art layer as the reference layer and just fill in the colours on separate layers? Like that, you do not have to do these selections all the time.
Thomas Wyser you sir just taught me something new haha thanks! Much easier
Thank you sir, I just learned it!
thank you so much for this!
Can you give me quick advice? I was sketching in procreate then went and created a new layer to color and it keeps covering up my sketch? Can someone help me and tell me what I did wrong
Definitely way easier and not time consuming as this tutorial.
One of my favorite procreate artists so far! Thanks for all the helpful tips
Bro I love this! I stumbled across ya on TikTok and loved your work, definitely glad I followed your linktree to here, two videos in and already excited to get home from work and try some of these techniques out!! Thank you!!!
The mono line brush in the calligraphy set gives you a clean hard edge with no pixel variation.
Nice video good advices! And cute Pou music, buddy
Thank you for this video
Thanks! Very helpful. I was already doing something similar but was not sure if it was the right way. But this video has given me the confidence to perfect this technique. Thanks’
Thank you, Austin! You and your work are awesome!! 😁
LuchoArg thank you!
I HAVE BEEN ENLIGHTENED!!!!!!
Your tutorials are blessings
Hi Great video! I just recently started drawing in pro create and trying to learn more :) I was wondering can you do a tutorial on how to do nice line art? when i try to line my drawing, It doesn't look like a nice line. Thanks!
what I do is:
I always set the canvas size as the maximum canvas size (as that means pixels won't be blurred if I print or publish the image at a bigger size),
for drawing the finalised lines:
pick the "flat/ felt marker" brush,
I pick the colour black,
I make sure the opacity of the colour is 100% (meaning the colour will be completely dark, not transparent),
I pick a certain line thickness for everything,
just as an example,
for the outline of every main object or character 75% line thickness,
for all other lines 62% thickness,
for less important objects outer lines of 50% thickness
this is just a random idea of line thickness uses,
it might help!
Abc 123 And what is the maximum canvas size please?
Can you do more Procreate tutorials
levitabusman yes I have more planned I've just been really busy during the holidays. I have several more planned for January!

Wow a 100,000 views for this video, your channel has potential to be a full time UA-camr ☺️☺️☺️☺️
if you don’t have one already, would you be down to create a tutorial for tips and tricks to add depth and contrast with overlays and color techniques?
Question: How do I create a subsequent layers for the next color in flatting and NOT have to redraw the outlines of the shape into this new layer? I create the first flatting layer and color the entire panel (square). Then I create the 2nd layer, on top of first, and draw the outline of the couch and color drop. Now how do I go to the 3rd layer and draw in the dog without having to retrace the outline of the dog that is shared by the line of the couch? Thank you-and I know that this is posted very much after the video dropped,
Good work Youngblood
Very very helpful and informative. Thanks for uploading it❤️❤️
Wow I just found this channel 😍😍 and I'm loving it ~
Extremely helpful! Thank you very much, I have subscribed also!
This music though... hehe
Awesome vid super helpful
Thank you this really helped!
For flatting I find it faster to rough-mask it then just quickly hard erase any “spill”.
Helps me a lot thanks man
This helps a lot.
Great video. If you ever do videos of fully rendered pieces, don't speed them up. Watching you labor through process on this videos is really educational.
Joseph Slinker some of them would be 5 or more hours long and it would take days to upload to UA-cam with my internet speed. I do have some online courses though that go over my painting process.
the slowest way ever
Thanks man, really helpful
cool thanks
ill stick to PS for flatting...
can u show how to mask layers in procreate? i dont even know if it can be done.
Shiroisama it can but it's kinda round about and tricky. I'll make a video and post showing how I work around that.
austin batchelor thanks It would be nice Ill keep notifications on to check it out :D
Does anyone have exprienced heating issue on ipad pro 2020 when using selection or just on painting with procreate. is it normal? I bought my iPad Pro 1 week ago
Thanks for the videos they are really helpful as I try to transitional from traditional art to digital art via Procreate. Do you use a screen protector on your Ipad or do you like the feel of the glass and the Apple pencil? Also it'd be cool to see a video about brushes and just some of the other Procreate basics line art, opacities, etc. Like I said really appreciate your videos and the time you put in to do them.
Quentin Fulks Thanks man! I started with a screen protector but I hated so now I don't use one at all. I much prefer it. Thanks for the suggestions I'll take those into account with my upcoming videos.
austin batchelor same I have one on mine now just because others suggested it but I dont like it so I'm gonna take it off. Anyways thanks for the reply and keep up the hard work your channel will grow and you will get that job you want. I watched your other videos very inspiring and dedicated!
I would get a matte screen protector if I were you. I got one and it feels nicer to draw on and theres no light glare
I just subscribed!!! 😄
Austin, where are you getting your 'hard brush"? thanks
Thanks
Amazing :D
Do you use a screenprotector for your ipad? If you use one, which do you use? Thanks!
i try and do everything you do but it always comes out different for instance. In the beginning when you said make a layer underneath your drawing and fill it in it didnt work it just blotted out the drawing
So after you flat how do you blend. Do you create new layers to get shades and then new layers to blend them?
So, currently; is there no way to remove the tiny pixels to prevent a halo?
hey Austin, how do you flat with so many layers? I know, at higher resolutions, the layer limit is quite low.
Jeeb Ishak as you go you'll have to start merging layers whenever possible, that's one of the downsides of procreate. With the latest update though they've add some tools that definitely help out weigh it's limitations.
What brushes would you recommend for coloring?
But how do you actually color in the whole area.? Are you using a brush or is there another tool?
What’s the brush?
he's cute.
Why instead of outlining it, you don't use auto outline? Save soooooo much more time
I’m not sure what “flat” as a verb means
Winnie Gustafon 'Flatting' means filling with colour, but only one colour. No tone, shading, lighting values etc. It's to separate shapes so they're easier to render fully. I believe the original term was 'flat colouring', but it's been condensed over the years to the specific animation/illustration term of 'flatting', which is why you'll rarely find it in an English dictionary. It's also sometimes referred to as 'creating flats'.
When I flat, it changes the entire drawing. How do I fix that
can i export the file with layer to adobe illustrator?
Hi Austin! what's the name of the childrens book you are working on? When it will be avaiable?
Francy1981 it turns out the person I was working for had misled me about having a publisher. I ended up dropping the project because I didn't feel it was worth it. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to show what I got done on it. I might do a video showing some of the work from it in the future. Unfortunately it will probably never be published.
It's a shame because the illustation of the two dogs you showed in this video was cool and super cute.
If you decide and you can share more i'll be very happy 👍🏻! Have a nice day 😊
austin batchelor If they didn’t have a publisher, and you signed a contract based on believing there was a publisher, I’d say eff them and show the art
how did u drop the color to fill the entire selection?
Misslisaflows tap and hold on the color dot and then drag it to fill the area you want.
