Procreate is fast becoming the industry standard for creatives, and it is my personal favourite app that I use daily, but there are some things you might not know that this app does, or doesn't do, so come along as I cover some of these must-know things about Procreate.

I have been purely pen, pencil and coloured markers for my whole life (39 years old now). I really want to get into this as my eldest daughter makes insane illustrations on hers. She even does requests at her uni where she sets up a booth and hundreds of the students come lining up to get pictures done. Seeing her and how good she got (way above me now despite me teaching her) really inspires me to get into it.

@RockettDesign 3 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for the awesome comment. Sounds like your eldest daughter is doing some amazing things, and people are loving what she is creating which is inspiring to hear! I'm glad it's inspiring you also, I think the best part about digital art is we have a truly adaptable canvas with the ability to keep practicing and creating wherever we have our iPad. when I made the jump from pencil and paper to digital, it was intimidating and hard, but if you put the time in im sure you will not only love the process, but create some amazing art at the same time. Happy creating!

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply, yes you can, you just want to make sure everything is on its own layer, that way you can select each layer and modify it or move it and keep working on things individually.

I just bought another 2nd hand iPad with 128gb drive as my 32gb one is just not enough and sent most of my synth and effects apps to the cloud. As luck would have it, it came with an Apple Pencil so now I’m thinking it would be fun to draw my own album covers. I have two questions please. A) what is vector cover? B) Can you import a photograph to use as a template to draw over/trace then remove it after you’ve finished your drawing? Cheers Gary

@RockettDesign 5 ай бұрын

Hi! Amazing to hear you have a new iPad, and even better it came with an Apple Pencil! First of all yes you can import an image, trace over it and then discard the original image, just import the image you want, then create a new layer for your trace, then you can delete the original image once you are done with the trace. Secondly, Vector graphics are created so that there are no limitations on size once the design or graphic is complete i.e if I was designing a logo for a company I would create a vector so they could use it on a business card or a billboard, no size limitations. Procreate specialises in raster images using a grid of colorized pixels. If you zoom in on a raster image, the individual pixels become pronounced and visible. Nothing to worry about here as you wouldn't need to create Vector images unless you knew you did. Most of my design work is not Vector therefor I create in Procreate, hope that helps!

@RockettDesign 8 ай бұрын

Hey, great question! You will need to get the Gen 1 Apple Pencil which will work great on your iPad. if you want to record the screen on your iPad, you just need to open the control centre (Google: control centre for iPad 9th to see how to do it) and you will see a little record button, tap on this and your screen will record what you do. If you would like to edit your videos, I would grab iMovie and you’ll be able to do some basic edits in that, good luck 👍🏻

@Velereonics 26 күн бұрын

okay but not supporting vector graphics means that, if you're a graphic designer, that you're going to need multiple apps, because now you're going to have to bit trace it and make corrections to that. if you're doing graphic design everything you make has to be able to be scaled, you need to be able to change color palletes quickly, and you have to be able to send it to other people and they need to be able to do the same thing. it's not a positive that he can't do vector graphics it's just fine that it can't because it's more for illustration anyway, And the features that it has in that regard are really good. it's not a predatory subscription. affinity designer is a one-time purchase that does vectors. I think I'm going to try clip studio though. It seems like it sort of does everything, But apparently the complaint is that the app is incredibly inefficient now because it has so many extensions that you can't turn off. so we will see

Very interesting. I have two questions. 1. Does it have ads on it? I used MediBang Paint bad the ads are SO annoying even when I draw, they are at the top and I sometimes accidentally touch it when not to take me away from the app. 2. Layer combine. When I combined all my layers into one, then add another for painting under it. The combined later has a white background on it that I have to erased it, wasting time on finishing my drawing and possibly ruin the final design. So does Procreate have that? If not, I’ll bite it and get that and delete MediBang Paint on my IPad
