    hi! can you do an updated version? it looks like procreate might have changed the way the selection tool is because nothing happens when I click on the words for the outline

  • @constantelev8tion1
    @constantelev8tion1 2 роки тому +2

    Every time I do the selection tool it creates a border inside my lettering and when adjust the threshold it selects everything except my Gaussian blur. Any ideas why. Tried many times still the same.

      @@dakotaolivier3609 the very first time I followed the tutorial it was working, then procreate crashed as I was doing the threshold part. Opened procreate tried continuing the piece I was working on then it started acting weird, hasn’t been the same ever since. I updated everything, procreate and my iPad iOS still nothing. The only thing next is to uninstall procreate but then I’ll lose all of my work so that’s not an option for me but if you don’t mind it you can try that.

    Thanks for this. I was looking for a way to do outlining. I’ve done tones of lettering with shadows but I couldn’t outline. One Q: why do you need to set your top layer for the highlights on “overlay?” Won’t working on a top layer set on “normal” do the same thing?

  • @noeliacamacho222
    @noeliacamacho222 2 роки тому +2

    I need help! I followed your outline steps to a tea and it worked many many times, but now I am trying to do the exact same thing and it will not outline. Could I have messed with the settings some how and changed something in the fill color tab? Everything goes good until I get to the very end and have to fill color.

    Ian, that was super easy to follow! Thanks a ton. Just goofing off with Procreate, and this was amazing!! THANK YOU! Super silly (rookie) question. I followed right along and it worked brilliantly, with the exception of one small part at the end. When you created the last layer, to add a some white accents (with overlay selected), I can't seem to get mine white. Regardless of what color I choose, it just makes a lighter color of the red (of the letter) I am attempting to put the highlights in. I know this is pretty difficult to troubleshoot just based off that, but if it's something wicked obvious, I would love to know what I missed. :) Thanks so much. This tutorial was great!

    Super helpful! Do you think maybe in the future you can provide the approximate sizes of the brushes and level of a opacity you use when you select different brushes? I noticed in a lot of procreate tutorials, artist don’t usually show that and then I struggle to find the right size to match what I’m trying to do match the artist’s example. Thank you!

    • @IanBarnard
      @IanBarnard  3 роки тому +1

      Before all that the artist would need to provide the canvas size. The brush size differs depending on how big canvas is. Opacity for my tutorials are always 100% unless otherwise stated.
