    I've been using procreate for around 2 months now and have been SO AFRAID of learning how to do masks (it just seemed too complicated for a traditional artist like me lol).
    Watching this, I've realized that masks ARE LITERALLY THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING IN PROCREATE lmao

    Great tutorial! I'm new to Procreate and drawing on the iPad but was familiar with masks from using Photoshop for a billion years. Seeing why you would use each type of mask in Procreate was really helpful for me. I'm also so excited to see you have a daily art prompt! It's just what I needed to commit to practicing drawing every day.

  • @jordenithebenei_3497
    @jordenithebenei_3497 3 роки тому +11

    Okay, this is what I think I learned from the first five minutes of the video. The rest went too fast for me, so I'm just going to focus on this part since it's a brief explanation. I may be wrong, so please don't rely solely on me.
    Alpha lock- When you apply alpha lock to a layer, you can only draw on the parts of that layer you've already drawn on. She drew the leaf, and when she applied alpha lock, she couldn't draw outside of the leaf unless she made a new layer.
    Use alpha lock when you want to draw inside a layer without accidentally drawing "outside the lines" of that layer.
    Clipping mask- When you want to draw on a certain part of a layer, while still being confined to that shape. It uses the layer beneath it as a reference for where you're allowed to draw, but you can modify that new clipping mask layer part independently without affecting the layer beneath it. She was able to use the leaf she drew as a layer she couldn't draw outside of, but when she applied clipping mask she was now able to draw veins of the new leaf without affecting or messing up the leaf.
    Use clipping mask when you want to draw inside a specific layer, without affecting that specific layer and instead drawing on a new one that still uses the shape of the old one as a guide.
    Layer mask- A mask that can change how parts of that layer show on your picture. You can use black to hide parts of the layer. Or you can use white to reshow it. Or, use grey to make it look translucent.
    This mask is still a bit iffy to me, so give me grace here please.
    Use clipping mask when you want to hide or show (or a mixture of both by making it transparent), parts of your layer.
    Now, how to use it while making your art for different reasons and ways is still unbelievably confusing to me 'cause she went too fast. (Not her fault, easy mistake.) I think I'll just get used to using them through my art while I work.
    Hopefully, this helped anyone else who was confused.

  • @Woji52

      It really is a game changer. I always wanted a cintique and a better computer. After using an intous in Photoshop for years I took the dive and grabbed a pro with the apple pencil. Absolutely amazing. Procreate is also about to drop a huge update, it is only getting better! As far as digital painting goes, it's really fantastic in my opinion. It's also incredible for recording and making music. Really really happy I dropped the money for a 12 inch and Procreate. I'd also like to add that Procreate is a one time purchase! Lastly, Adobe is going to be releasing a dedicated painting and drawing app, as well as Photoshop for iPad this year. Combine that with iOS 13 rekeasin in a couple days and one can have a huge arsenal at their disposal.

    Many videos I’ve watched about masking particularly layer masks don’t give you an example of how layer masks are used in practice. So you only understand the theory but not the application, but this was great and you get a very cute drawing at the end . It’s worth pointing out that in the case of clipping and layer masks you can use the transform tool to move and change the mask and base layer independently in space on your page . Thank you Lisa you make digital art such fun.

I love how you started on a blank canvas, and used the fiddle leaf plant as an example, and most importantly, you walked us thru your thought process because that is really helpful. Tho I need to keep re watching it and maybe slow down coz it was a lot of info to take in.

    I just checked out your website (the one with the draw everyday challenge) and I can already say this is gonna help me a lot. I'm actually in the middle of an art block and now.. well I've regained some motivation to draw again.. thanks!
