I learned about the backups when my son borrowed my ipad and deleted procreate. I cried.

The last point is the most important. No one was born a top tier artist any more than any one was born a world class chef, Olympic athlete, or math guru. All require study and practice over time. People are quick to dismiss artistic skill as innate or god-given talent when it's really just years of practice (and plenty of not-so-good-looking pieces along the way). Anyone can do it - gate's wide open :) come in and draw!

I just made the #1 mistake lol

I lost every artwork except those I exported. Can you imagine losing every .psd file because you uninstalled Photoshop? I switched to Clip Studio Paint. I use ProCreate only for scribbles.

I wish I had watched this before I changed ipad😭 My smile is back. I realised that I hadn’t wiped my old ipad so changed the setting on it to icloud and I got it all back. Thank you for sharing these tips. You’ve made my day ❤ Definitely a new sub here

I somehow managed to come across your video today. I recently treated myself to a new iPad for Christmas while I found time to find a apple pencil on sale not long ago so i can enter the world of digital art again n give it another shot with ProCreate. Really loved how well you explained these beginner mistakes to highly avoid and glad to have given it a watch through. It helped me understand fully on what not to do with making digital art now. I can't wait to practice digital art this year and get decent with it. Thanks so much Brooke.

I feel like procreate REALLY needs to fix the stack system and Delete art thing. We need to be able to recover accidentally deleted art on the app itself!! When it comes to “stacking art” no, get rid of that. I want to be able to make little organized “FILES” of art in procreate instead !!!

Omg, tip 3 is a game changer, thank you so much! I’ve been using procreate for 4 years and never knew about that!

As an avid procreate user I know most of the tricks at this point, but your videos are always so helpful and lovely so I enjoy watching anyway. ❤

heavy on the expensive tech, i have the basic iPad 9th gen 10.2in and i love it. The battery life isn't great but that's not a problem for me personally, but its great and still works really well. The Pencil as well is the 1st gen and works amazingly.

Learning procreate now and this was great! Thank you!

I had Procreate offloaded at one point; not deleted, just offloaded, and when I redownloaded it everything was gone. Most tragic moment of my life.

Oh my gosh! I loved this video. I'm definitely going to look at your website for more drawing tips. Im not a beginner artist but lately ive been feeling unhappy with my art, and i want to learn digital art too. Thank you for making this video, im glad it found me :) ❤

if you’re looking to get into digital art through procreate, picking an ipad can be tricky. so here’s my advice: ipad - the (relatively) budget-friendly option. still a powerful tablet and as you said, still enough for professionals. ipad air / mini - the go-to pick and what i would recommend for most people. especially since there’s a 12.9in option now! go for the mini if you want an extra-portable digital sketchpad (also great for reading and writing, both of which can be kinda awkward on a bigger ipad) ipad pro - the new ones are honestly overkill for 99% of people, so i would recommend going used here! you can find a refurbished M1 ipad pro for around $500-$600 right now and it’s actually an amazing deal. apple pencil - if your ipad of choice is AT ALL compatible with the second gen, get that one. otherwise, go for the first gen. simple as that aha

Really great tips, I’ve been drawing for years now and I definitely didn’t know about some of these!

You fixed my color fill problem!!!! Great

Great pointers … I learnt a few things. And you have a great presentational style. 👍

I wish I had known about the apple pencil sensitivity years ago when I bought it! (I got the cheaper usb one...). That could explain why I find it so hard to stick to drawing on my ipad when I acquired it for comfort and recreation in the first place. Your explanation about mistakes 3 and 4 was SO HELPUL!

WOW!! Thank you I was cry!!!!!

I work freelance and up until this year, I had been tied to my desktop computer all the time to work. When faced with the decision of purchasing an iPad to have my "compact art studio" readily available to me, I was initially super intimidated. Because I just was very hesitant to drop $1k on the newest iPad models. Imagine my absolute DELIGHT when I found Apple refurbished iPads on Amazon. For $300 I got a 12.9" 2016 model iPad Pro that is basically in brand new condition. It's been absolutely perfect and I've been able to work with Procreate without any trouble. I truly recommend this option for anyone who wants to break into iPad art without breaking the bank too

Someone needs to make sure Procreate themselves see #1 and #2 Also I had no idea you could do #3 and #4. These are going to help out a ton! Thank you!

i didn't know number 3 tysm

Totally true. You really don't need fancy gadgets to make digital art. When I first got started, I just made little doodles in MS Paint. As a child. As an adult, I still like to use MS Paint. Sometimes. It's a simple painting tool. But man, Clip Studio Paint is soooo much more powerful. I can draw curves in MS Paint easily, but it's even easier to draw curves in Clip Studio Paint. I only have Clip Studio Paint on desktop/laptop, connected to a mouse, as it is the perpetual license one-time fee that has attracted me to buy it. On iPad and iPhone, I use Autodesk Sketchbook (free app), and I have to admit, it's totally cool. I actually don't have an Apple Pencil, no, but I do have my fingers, and I just finger-paint. I do a lot of finger-painting. Believe it or not, the Apple Notes app is also what I use to make simple doodles, and I do that with finger-painting. My fingers are, of course, very imprecise, but the best I can do is a basic sketch.

Love your earrings

I made the mistake of deleting a bunch of pictures when I was trying to make a stack and was so devastated. But a few days later while deleting some old photos I found my photo trash and there were all those pictures I thought I lost. They were just jpegs but that was better than nothing😁😁😁

This is really helpful except for a lot older ipads don’t work with the good apple pencils

awwwwwwww thanksssssss

Hi. I have a question I hope you can answer because your videos I can follow and learn from the easiest. I have plenty of memory, and I have been using procreate for about a year to a year and a half now. When in procreate it lags severely and then it locks up and crashes out. Do you happen to have a suggestion for correcting this? I am left handed and heavy handed but I don’t think that has anything to do with it. Any help or video you have is much appreciated. Thank you for the best videos out there in my opinion.

I noticed at mistake number 3, you are using the case with detachable keyboard that I also have 😭 is there any way to fix the side of the speaker? I noticed like mine it’s a little bit loose, I think my parents were tricked into buying it.. now they’re saying im reckless with my stuff even tho it happens to everyone who has it. Had to buy a cheaper apple keyboard case alternative. Anyways thanks for the tips

Anyone can learn how to draw, it’s whether they want to take the time to learn and practice

I would add another one that I’m not exactly sure is a general problem, but the app forgets all actions when you open another software, even if Procreate is left running in the background. Say, if you’re messy like me and choose to resize your canvas to export an individual, smaller drawing, and have multiple other, bigger drawings in different layers turned off, you’ll want to return to the original canvas size before leaving the app. Otherwise, you won’t be able to undo it, and all other drawings that got cut in the process? that’s already done and there’s no way to get them back. It happened to me once, I had a minor breakdown over it, but the best way to learn how to work around this app’s frustrating quirks and oversights is to be VERY mindful of them. If you’re going to apply major changes to your artwork, create a duplicate, because Procreate doesn’t store versions of your files. Just in case you won’t be able to undo drastic actions.

Me watching this 10 mins after I downloaded it 👁️👄👁️

Hi! My procreate app crashes when I try to open the color palette. NOTHING is working and I’ve started moving my 4 years of work off of it so I can delete the app but I’m hoping you have a solution for this so I won’t have to delete.

I wish procreate had its own cloud or somthing, bc I can never transfer to different devices cause my iCloud has no space😔

As a person who can’t always tell her own strength I can tell you right now no way would I spend the money on a Apple Pencil like that I do better with a drawing tablet and the ability to resize my brush I just don’t trust myself to use that type of technology well I can work well with pencil paper but that’s because I’m used to it and trust myself if I accidentally break or bleed through paper it’s fine if that happens with an expensive tablet it’s less so… however I will remember everything else because I currently work with ibas but I’m never against learning to work with new tools if I think it’s a good idea for myself. (I just the sensitivity just doesn’t sit right with me-)

I knew i would lose my art progress and my brush but i end up saving my brush and deleting it but i have to buy it back Bad Idea

I think the bigger point is, learn how to draw, not how to use Procreate. I use only 3 of the built in brush for all my Procreate art and often times completely ignored quite a few features of the app, but the point is, it's more important to know how to draw first, then try finding the tools needed to draw it out, than to learn all the tools first and still have no idea when to use them. By all means focus on what you are drawing, not what tool you are using, and doing things the dumb way never hurts as long as you know what you are drawing.

Your house is so bright.

I’d love to understand creating brushes better. I feel like I have to press so hard

I JUST DELITED PROCREATE AND REEDOWNLOADED IT BOFORE WATCHING THIS 😭😭😭😭😭 1:34

ppl who use flipaclip as procreate: I LOVE THIS APP ppl who use ibis paint: i’m surprised… THE ADS BRO
