- Happy new year everyone! I wanted to answer a frequently asked question regarding my earlier Autodesk Sketchbook tutorial video. The topic of this video is quick selections and masking in Autodesk Sketchbook.

Double click when you use the flood fill tool so you won't have to fill in the gaps
I know I never tried this because in photoshop it messes up the outside of the lines but here it works, thanks a lot!!!
Can we use this trick on the mobile version as well?
@@ayazanwar1383 yes
Perfect Timing, just as I installed Skechtbook on my Tablett
I knew I had good timing :)))
After using the selection tool how do you delete ? (When using the iPad )
@@ten-ub4xdI’m wondering the same thing lol
Thank you, this is exactly what I need to know to experiment with shading and what not and worrying about worrying my original work.
Happy to hear that you found it helpful ^_^
This was a really good tutorial, last year I missed out on sketching and improving my skills as I had to leave my engineering job for a job in IT for better pay and personal financial reasons and I barely got time or had the energy. This year I have to be really serious with it if I want to make a career out of it. Your videos have always been a breath of motivation. Thank you ✌️
Yeah it is not always easy to put energy into work life and also a hobby like drawing. It's hard to find the balance but it's good that you are trying!
Dude, thank you SO much! Was watching an amazing video with Scott Flanders about creature design and could not for the life of my figure out how he was chopping things after filling them on different layers without impacting the rest of it - this is the solution! Top man.
Very happy to read that it was helpful!
what i do to get rid of color outside the lines is bucket fill with transparent color outside the linework, this is definitely a cleaner way of going about it though so i'll have to give it a try
Happy New Year! Greetings from Hong Kong, I don't usually comment on UA-cam videos but I thought I would give it a shot. First of all, thank you for making these videos on Sketchbook as I've found yours to be very helpful for ID digital sketching especially during these weird times (your tutorials got me started on the software and secure 1st place in a recent design competition!).
I'm not sure if it works for everyone but I found that if you tap on your sketch with the bucket tool a second time (after filling in your shape with color the first time) it would help get rid of those white lines that you talked about having to manually fill in the video. Let me know if it ends up working for you too.
Something that would be cool to learn (as I am currently an ID student myself) is how to prepare and clean up your paper/analogue sketches on Photoshop and being able to present them in a neat collage on a portfolio/website/social media page. I've tried finding tutorials online but they have been hard to execute/follow on my own, especially for the way that I am looking to do it in the end (if that makes any sense). A method/perspective from an Industrial Design standpoint would be really cool to see/learn!
Apologies for the really long comment! Looking forward to your future videos, the gaming channel sounds like an awesome idea especially during these times! Take care!
Thank you for you in depth comment and congratulations on the 1st prise, I'm very honored that you think my tutorials helped 😊
That bucket clicking trick might help I used it in photoshop but never tried it in sketchbooks will give it a go! I use the lasso tool most of the time.
For traditional sketch cleanup take a look at this video and tell me if it helps:

@@robertlkiss Thank you! I tried to use the link you provided but it seems to bring me back to this same video, not sure if that was what you intended all along haha.
@@LightningboltZ321 haha sorry mate my bad:
ua-cam.com/video/EqweCP-WgLE/v-deo.html
@@robertlkiss Exactly what I was looking for, you seemed to solve most of the problems I come across in that video! Thanks again and take care!
Love it SO MUCH! Maggie wand + "Delete" bottom = Time saver!
Happy to hear this video helped :)
when you fill... you can fill the same area more than once and it will progressively fill the soft edges... no need to manually paint over
PS really excellent tutorials.. thanks
My problem with that method is that after the second fill the soft edges of the outer line will be gone and most of the time I don't want that. It could give you issues if you wanna work without lines, or sometimes the extra thickness pokes out from underneath the lines.
Thank you so much for this! I have been trying for weeks to do this, and with your instructions, I FINALLY got somewhere!
Very happy to hear that! Feel free to look through my library I have more sketchbook stuff and also leave a question if something is not clear.
Awesome video once again. Been working in my new job as a concept designer and your tips when I was a student and working are serving me well! Thanks Rob
Thank you very much it makes me very happy to hear that :)
Wow that was fantastic. I’ve watched all your videos on Sketchbook Pro and you have been so helpful. I hope you will continue to make them.
Thank you, glad you found my videos useful!
Very helpful upload. Thank you
Glad it helped
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY THANK YOUUU!!!!
Glad you liked it :)
thanks for these tips @RLK I just started using SBP this week and this is exactly what I needed to know that I didn't already!
Happy to hear this was helpful!
This is very helpful. Thank you so much for this. I learned a lot in 10 minutes.
I am very happy to hear that, thank you!
I'm a beginner and this is so helpful. Will watching more of your contents!
we can use the magic wand on the line art and then select our colour layer and colour that specific area
I don't know about sketchbook pro, but in photoshop I make a selection, expand by 2-5 pixels, then flood fill and I do not have to worry about the edges with no color :)
If you make the selection with a lasso tool you don't have to worry about expanding either ;)
@@robertlkiss that's true, I was just talking about the first method you were showing )
@@user-by4ru5pr1g Yeah I know people who don't like using the lasso tool, so I had to cover that as well.
Good video here ! I was already doing some of these tips on Sketchbook, but I've learned even more. Thanks !
Thanks, there are a lot of little things that I do automatically and forget it might be useful for others as well.
Sir this is wonderful, but about which delete bottom you are talking i dont understand. I use mobile is this trick possible in Mobile 🙂☝️
This is not for mobile but for desktop. On mobile, you tap the layer and then clear.
You are hilarious! Love your tutorials and your sense of humor.
Thank you very much Heather ^_^
We want more of sketchbook tutorials please 😁✨
Do you want to know anything specific?
@@robertlkiss this video explains alot! I have a small wacom tablet, for industrial sketching we have to draw with shoulder right?! But it is actually difficult using this small tablet, every small line I draw, is getting enlarged on my laptop! So any suggestions or tips?
@@kausthubhtsr9636 yeah I see your problem. I started out with a Graphire tablet that was smaller than even A5 I think. What I can suggest is tat you start your drawings and do as much of them as possible zoomed out. You will have to zoom in and do the details sooner or later for which you will use your wrist but the more you can do of the drawing while zoomed out the more you can use your wrists. I use a work timer that makes me take 10 second breaks every 10 minutes you might do something like that to remind yourself to not strain your writ to much. But yeah in the end try to upgrade to a bigger drawing surface as soon as possible
@@robertlkiss thanks! I'll try that 😊
Dude, of course, it was so simple. Thanks for helping. U da best
Hope it will speed up your process as well ;)
Thank you the video i have to watches is about couple times to really get better im a beginners
Glad to hear you found it useful!
Awesome as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is great! Something I’m having trouble with is changing the color of an object. Is it possible to create a line/object, select it and then change its color? Any help appreciated.
Your work is amazing but can you do this on auto desk sketchbook mobile please it’s gonna help me a lot cause I make use of the mobile
Tablet version: ua-cam.com/video/iCJKoENUzgs/v-deo.html
Youre a life saviour sir! Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial!! It will help me to save a loooot of time ! Thanks again ! ^^
Happy to hear that, that is why I made it :)
Very useful, thanks!
Glad it helped!
This was so informative and helpful!! Thank you so much!
Happy to hear that mate :)
It BADLY needs a Bezier Tool, and some sort of Vector Editability. After seeing its implementation in Clip Studio, that stuff is "must-have." It opens up SO many possibilities!
You can do that in Krita no? That is also a free app. I just tend to combine my drawing programs using a bit of all.
@@robertlkiss KRITA has very good vector tools. I like drawing in CSP.
Just as a matter of interest, which tablet device do you use when drawing digitally? And stylus? Cheers and thank you for the excellent videos and instruction.
Thanks. I use a cintiq 13hd
@@robertlkiss Thanks for replying. And thanks again for the amazing videos.
New to sketchbook! Thanks for the helpful info ;)
Glad you found it helpful
This is great!! I use autodesk sketchbook on my phone. Could I do that delete effect. What would I press? Or is this just for using a laptop or tablet?
Awesome work!! Happy New Year!!!!
Thank you. I haven't used Sketchbook on a phone but I use it on my iPad. What I do there instead of pushing a delete key, I tap the layer where I want to delete the content of a selection and a small menu with options should pop up. There is one called 'clear' that should do the trick for you. Tell me if it works on the phone as well.
@@robertlkiss with my phone I use it like a photoshop sometimes where I edit images together so it's good for the layering and I sketch from time to time but nothing quite like yours excellent!!!!
It didn't work but I'll mess with it some more. Thank you!!
@@23sivart @robert Laszlo kiss , one thing to add is that the upper layer (orange seat) has to be Inverted (on android). Then the clear works, otherwise the bottom layer (blue cycle) is deleted.
@@jshongable ok thank you!! This helps
Hi, Robert! Thanks so much for this fantastic tutorial! It really helped me a lot. I have a question though, how do you add a new selection to an already started selection with the lasso tool at min 5 through 5:55? I've tried to do this but I am unable to do more than one selection at a time because after the first selection the transformation tool pops up. Thank you in advance!!!
Check out my introductory Sketchbook tutorial, at minute 3:30 I talk about that function. Adding and subtracting in most drawing programs also happen with shift(adding) and alt(subtracting) pressed down.

Those Tips Are really Helpful Thankx for Existing
Glad you found them useful!
Thank you so much ❤️
Glad you like it!
If you just use a hard edge brush with 100% hardness, opacity, and flow you only have to click fill twice to eliminate the lines and won't have to meticulously go back in to manage them
The only problem with that is that your brush choice will be extremely limited, and for people who like sketchy dynamic brush work this is not really a solution.
I tried that, but it deleted the shape that’s inside, not outside like it did for you. So, did you press the delete button as in backspace, or what do you mean by “the delete button?”
You have do the selection on the previous layer, where you created your "mask" shape, then switch back to the layer where you did the new drawing/rendering part. If there is a selection and you hit delete or backspace it will only eraise stuff within the selection.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND, AGAIN, THANKS FOR GENEROUSITY OF WHATSOEVER U SHARE. :)
Thank you ^_^
Thank you for this
Happy to hear you found it useful!
Hi. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. I have a question please? How could you adapt this approach if you are trying to color in some scanned artwork? I am trying to do this and I cannot figure out how to arrange the layers so that I can get to to the part where I can create the mask. Thanks in advance.
It's the same exact process, you only have to put your lines layer(in this case the layer with the scanned in drawing) to multiply. And the rest you do just I did in this video.
this is extraordinary helpful!
thank you.
(don't understand why some people dislike this...)
Thank you for the kind comment, really happy to hear you found it helpful!
I love that quick erase shortcut you showed! Do you think it's possible on the app version?
I don't see why it wouldn't work.
@@robertlkiss it does, just tried it. Thanks bro!
@@enrickmendoza5580 how did you do it on the app?
This is exactly what I need..thx bruh ..
I love to deliver ^_^
New subscriber! Your videos are very helpful and funny video intro. I hope you create more videos, i'm a beginner.
Thanks for the sub mate, glad you like my videos!
Thank you. Very helpful.
Glad to read that!
heyy ROBERT can u link down to any pressure brushes u have or have u done this sketch with a non pressure brush ? lmeeme know ty ;) u do great work!
All the brushes and brush packs I use are linked in the description ;)
you should produce a colouring book.
I think Sketchbook would be a perfect tool to marry with Blender.
also, Blender drawing tutorials are a bit thin on the ground - hint hint.
Haha yeah lender I am still learning to be honest, not ready to teach yet ;)
@@robertlkiss the reason i mention it, is because Blender's grease pencil tool is probably it's most primitive function, and they would do well to incorporate a decent sketch tool like this one.
Well, great video but… what I was really after was to find out if I can make precise shapes, like I need a rectangle that is 1/2” tall, is that possible on the pro mobile version of sketchbook?
Thank you so much for this video!
Assalamu alaikum (peace be upon your home) thank you very much for the tutorial and brushes, and give you blessings in later life my friend
Thank you for the kind comment!
Awesome ✨! Wish you a very happy new year 😀
Thank you, wish you the same!
Happy New Year, Robert. Gaming channel, you say?? That will be awesome.
Sooner or later it happens to all channels these days :)
Very helpful thank you
Happy it helped!
Very helpful thank you!!
Happy to hear it was useful!
Thanks for your tips Robert!
Thanks for checking the video :)
We need more of this content
There will be more :)
Great video! It was super helpful!
By any chance am I able to Undo/Redo using hand gestures? I know I'm able to do it on the mobile version but I can't get it to work on Pro...
Same as with other drawing version two finger tap is undo. Otherwise I think are are also invisible life undo shortcut buttons in the bott om corners if you double tap with the pen.
What does Flipbook from Image Sequence even do?
It's for onion skin type animation.
@@robertlkiss That too is Empty Flipbook.It doesn't answer on what makes the 2 different options from each other.
Hello Robert!
Thanks for this cool video!
I have a question about CMYK. Since Sketchbook is not supporting CMYK colors, how do you export the drawings?
I usually convert them in InDesign into CMYK. But I realised that my paintings look really different, when I print them out.
How do you solve this problem?
Greetings from Switzerland!
Hey David. I don't print from sketchbook. I mostly do digital work so everything I do stays RGB. But in general for client work I always switch to photoshop once the line work is done. Sketchbook rendering I do mostly for myself.
Amazing!! 🙌
Thanks!
I know in photoshop there's a tool called Warp, how can I do the same sort of thing in Sketchbook? Like for instance, I'm drawing a lizard, but I want his tail to be touching the ground and I made it too high. How can I pull it down and make it the right shape and position?

Could use some Shaper3d app in iPads. I love your tutorials so 👀 fingers crossed
Funicular enough I am working on a mech design in shapr3d right now :) what sort of tutorial would like to see regarding Shapr3D?
Honestly, lets start from scratch. The 2D sketching to 3D models, tools, if it can provide a sketching app or a support is needed. I am trying to get rid of my pc so I try to work on my ipad mostly. I think I messeged you before about it and you were kind enough to reply. Autosketch PC+ a tablet is most comfortable for me with Adobes but now I have limited myself to procreate ( made own brushes ) and shaper3d. So yeah 👀 lets goo
please I need help in coloring night scene
what pencil are you using ? thx
Links to the brushes are in the descirption.
Hi Robert, I'm from Taiwan,love you & your channel, it's very interesting and useful.
I just started learning to draw, and I use Procreat....I hope I can be an interior designer someday.
And I have to work harder to learn English for watch your video....
(This will be my longest comment in any language.......apologies for my poor English)
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!!
Btw,could you share your Procreat brushes? I am willing to buy it.
Thank you again for you and your channel. Take care!
Hey man thanks a lot for you're kind comment I really appreciate it! Don't worry about your English it's pretty good, and the more you use it the better it will get! Actually I don't really have many procreate brushes that I made myself. I made a procreate brush video where I showed how to make a sketching brush. That, an airbrush and a hard brush are my most used brushes.
When I press lock layer it doesn’t let me draw at all (mobile)
Yes that is what lock layer does. You probably want to press lock transparency
I have a small problem. Needed to use a provided font for a project but there are always extra pixels when i use the magic wand tool on the provided photo (looks like a buffer zone of some type...). Is there a way to get rid of them automatically or do i have to do it by hand?
I'm sorry but I never use Sketchbook for text so sadly I can not help you with that.
@@robertlkiss Its actually a screenshot with letters since i needed to curve the text into a half circle. the letters are black and the background is white. I basically used the magic wand to make the white background transparent (by deleting it) and that leaves me with only the letters. The problem is that there are traces of white pixels and the edges of letters are not really the best quality as you can imagine... Any idea on fixing it after this process is done?
@@rexrip1080 your best bet would be to rebuild the letters with vector lines but sketchbook does not have those tools. As the name says it is really made for sketching. Do you not have photoshop or a similar app where you can use a pentoool?
@@robertlkiss Honestly I am a 3D artist (level designer and environment artist) and every time someone asks me to do a digital concept art or similar, my small black heart dies a bit (but my wallet grows a bit larger). I generally just think of what I want to make, and if I really need to, I just draw a layout of a level by hand using simple blocks and then get to work (I generally do not even do this, just think of where everything should go and memorize it, saves me a few days of work). You can then imagine how something like painting a digital picture is really draining on me since I am used to a totally different methods and pipeline. I honestly do not have the patience for it to the level where I learned how to make procedural textures in order to bypass the drawing part... My hat is off to you sir, you have the patience of a buddhist monk!
@@rexrip1080 haha I feel you though. I have 0 patience to paint and make things pretty. I just wanna come up with crazy ideas and fix problems visually. That is why most my stuff is sketches and not nicely finalized renders. And for work I do drawings for businesses, banks and such because that's where the money is. So yeah I feel you ^_^ but definitely switch to Photoshop or illustrator in the future for this sort of stuff will make your life much easyer!
How do you créate your brush?
BRO WHICH TABLET HAVE U USED IN HERE?
I was using my Wacom Cintiq 13HD.
I have autodesk sketchbook on my surface go tablet but it doesnt look like this?? Is this the pro version
Mobile and desktop versions look different. This is the desktop version. The app has since also left Autodeskt so that might also cause some changes.
I can't find Delete in my Apple Air 4, any idea? Thanks in advance.
You can tap on the layer and then tap on clear. THat should do it.
@@robertlkiss I means after using Lasso to select an item, I can't delete the selected item. Anyway, thanks for your reply. 😊
How come you have copic colors? This must be an old version...Since it was sold, copic was removed
Exactly
@@robertlkiss hehe ;)
Why is the flood fill tool filling the entire page??!
Because that's how it's supposed to work?
I'm on mobile, I don't have a delete key, so what do I hit?
Tap on the layer to bring up to context menu and chose clear
When I use the magic wand tool to clean up the extra, it erases what is inside and not the overflow :/
It depends where you sue the magic wand inside or outside your liens.
@@robertlkiss THANKS, I did exactly that mistake
hey robert do you use your ipad for this?
No this was the desktop version.
This is helpful but it's kinda fast and no zoom in to what he is telling about for example, is where the delete tool is
the delete tool is the delete key on your keyboard.
How many layers can I open at the same time?
You can't really close layers. You always have one active layer that you can draw on, but you can always switch between layers.
What am i doing wrong! Arghh.. I DO STEP BY STEP!
But when i'm trying to delete the outside with "Delete" it just erase the inside and not the outside behind the outline.. WHY?!
Check what you are selecting and on which layer. sometimes it can happen that you are on the wrong layer
@@robertlkiss i checked, still no idea what i’m doing wrong, i pick the one i want to color, i make a new layer, i color it in like u do in the video, then i select the first layer again, toogle off the picture on layers, Press the W on the layer, goes back to the Second i made… still the inside and not the outside.. must watch it again or find another guide if so.
I hate that the animation stuff isn't on iPad
How did you make that color gradient?
Just a big soft brush and gently go over it a couple of times till you get the gradient you want.
Hi. My Sketchbook doesn't look like this. Is it an update or something? I cannot find this bucket tool. Please help.
You might be using the mobile version of sketchbook where the tools are in different places but all Sketchbooks have the bucket tool.
@@robertlkiss No, I'm on PC. Is this the 'Sketchbook Pro' I've heard about? Could you please guide me? I can give you information about the layout! There's a little curved bar at the left side of the screen with (from top to bottom) fullscreen mode, tools, brushes, colours, a mouse (no idea what it is) and saving tools it seems. At the top it's the regular 'File, Edit, Image, Window, Help'.
Sorry if my explanation isn't too good, I'm still pretty young!
@@mizuukiiiii It's an old video but maybe this will help:
ua-cam.com/video/vuZN7nv9_mg/v-deo.html
@@robertlkiss See, I'm missing that thing on the top, and how the brushes are at the side. It's a full white page with nothing but a curved bar on the bottom left. I wish I could send you a screenshot, I'm so confused. I've looked through all of the brushes and I'm unable to find the fill tool. I really need it since I suck at colouring and it'll be VERY HELPFUL for shading. Is it because you have the pro subscription? I might check to see if I can redownload a version will all feautures or something.
@@robertlkiss Now mine looks like it! I reset my prefrences to default, must've select a weird setting while downloading!
Please can you share your brush presets
Description?
@Robert Laszlo Kiss ohh, thanks mate. Great video by the way.
What about autodesk sketchbook mobile?
What about it?
what resolution do you have for this?
Not sure tbh. I usually work on a 5K by 3K canvas but I don't use the whole canvas so I imagine around 1500 x 1500 or something like that.

@@robertlkiss I see thanks man
@@robertlkiss it doesn't work, since it will clear what inside the selected erea, but we want to clear the outside, am i missing something? i tried several things
@@maskedartist1455 you can invert your selection if you want to erase things outside your selected area.
@@robertlkiss ok that kind of worked, what I mean is that it did indeed delete the outside but not entirely its like it stayed but with lower opacity, but all of it is still there
You cool
Thanks you too!
Niccee
Something kinda infuriating is the fact that even when the masks are in correct hierarchy, the bucket tool doesnt detect that I wanna remove just the parts that are outside the lasso, even when the 'silloette' mask is under every layer...
Not sure I understand but you have to go layer by layer if you need things deleted from different layers.
@@robertlkiss I mean yeah, I understood the general concept behind, but something with the lasso and me using the mobile version always screws my masks over and I have no patience to fix it lmao, and overall my sketches look broken compared to the silloette(?) mask.
@@robertlkiss All I wanted was to draw some yiffs :(((
@@anti-predatory6675 hmm for mobile I'm using he ipad version and I never had this issue. Sadly not sure how I can help.
