Hi, I'm Lisa Bardot and this is Intro to Procreate: Learning to Draw on the iPad.

Adverbs of manner

Procreate is an iPad app that lets you draw anytime, anywhere, with the world of art media literally at your fingertips.

Adverbs of degree

Procreate is a powerful and intuitive painting and drawing app for the iPad and can be used to create extremely detailed and advanced artwork,

but it is also perfect for beginners because it's so intuitive to use.

Procreate enables you to have every type of drawing and painting medium and limitless colors anytime, anywhere.

It's perfect for helping you establish a daily art making practice.

I'm Lisa Bardot, an illustration artist as well as photographer, maker, and all-around creative person.

I am an avid believer that creativity is essential and fundamental to all humans and

the enabling of creativity and others is a big part of my work.

I've been using procreate for over five years.

illustration work as well as lettering and sketching, and I am the owner of Bardot Brush one of the leading brush creators for Procreate.

Let's jump right in and learn about the best hardware to use with Procreate.

The dream team for using Procreate is the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.

You can draw in Procreate with your finger or a third party stylus, but no other tool matches the

responsiveness and control of the Apple Pencil.

This is how the Apple pencil normally looks. Mine just looks a little special because I put stickers on them.

As of this recording, the Apple pencil only works with the current iPad Pro released in late

2018, as well as all previous models of iPad pro, and

The 9.7 inch iPad released in early 2018.

I recommend getting as large of a screen size as you can afford.

I use the 12.9 inch iPad pPro and I love having a large area to work on.

If you have less of a budget to work with,

the 9.7 inch iPad is a great option because it's the only non-Pro iPad that works with the Apple pencil.

I also highly recommend getting a matte screen protector for your iPad.

The glass screen of the iPad can feel a little sticky or slippery,

so a matte screen protector is going give you a nice smooth feeling when you draw.

In this tutorial, you'll get a crash course in the Procreate app. You'll learn the basics, tips, tricks, and everything

you need to get you drawing as quickly as possible.

The gallery view is the first thing you'll see when you open procreate.

Here you can browse and open all of your artwork as well as start new pieces.

You'll see a variety of canvas size templates and you can easily create your own.

I like to use a high-resolution canvas when I work in Procreate.

It gives me the option to print my work later on, plus a lot of the brushes I use are optimized for a high-resolution canvas.

This is my favorite size to work with because it takes up the entire iPad screen. When you're getting set up,

I'd also create a vertical canvas that is 4,000 by 5,000 pixels and a square canvas that is 5000 by 5,000 pixels.

Let's name this canvas "High-Res Horizontal".

Tap "Done" and that takes us right into the canvas interface.

The first thing we'll do is take a look at the brushes.

Tap the paintbrush in the upper right to access the brushes panel.

Procreate comes with a variety of pre-installed brushes covering a range of mediums and styles, but

the real magic of Procreate is that you can install or even create your own custom brushes. If you tap on a brush

you'll see that each brush has dozens of settings that manipulate a texture and a shape.

You don't need to get to know these settings right now, but just know that they exist.

Tap the arrow to exit the brush settings here. In my brush list

I've got all the brushes I've ever created sorted into sets. To start off, play around with the different brushes.

Each brush has different abilities so experiment with different levels of pressure,

as well as the tilt of your Apple Pencil to see what different effect each brush can produce.

The sliders on the Left allow you to control brush size,

00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:33,830 and Opacity.

You can pinch and spread to zoom in or out and rotate your canvas.

Do a quick pinch to have the canvas go back to filling the screen. If you make a mark you want to undo

simply tap with two fingers anywhere on the canvas.

Tap with two fingers and hold to undo multiple.

Tap and hold with three fingers to redo multiple.

Use three fingers to "scrub" off the screen and clear all.

I'm going to color in a portion of the screen then select the eraser, which is right here.

The cool thing about it is you can use any of your brushes as an eraser.

If I look at my brush, I can see that I'm using this one.

Now if I tap and hold the eraser, it will automatically select that brush to use as an eraser.

Now I can erase and have my eraser marks match the brushes and it will look seamless.

Let's talk about my favorite thing in the world: color!

Tap the circle in the upper right and you will see the color picker. Use the outer ring to select your hue,

and use the inner disc to fine-tune the lightness darkness or saturation of the color.

You can quick select a color by tapping and holding on the screen to invoke the eyedropper. It lets you easily select a color

Open the color panel and tap "Palettes". Tap the plus sign to create a new palette - make sure it's set to default.

Tap back over to disc and we have a new empty color palette to fill up.

Select the yellow. To save a color, just tap a square in the palette. Let's add all these colors to the palette.

You can reorder the colors. Just tap, hold, and drag. To delete a color, tap & hold, then tap "delete".

This little finger icon is the smudge tool.

It can smudge, smear or soften, or combine brush strokes and colors.

The opacity slider controls the strength of the smudging. This can be useful for things like creating smooth color transitions in your drawings.

Layers are very powerful, and one of the most useful elements of Procreate, and are packed with a ton of amazing features.

Tap these two squares in the upper right to open the layers panel. At the bottom is the background color. By default

it is white, but tap it to select any color as your background

Double tap the color disc near white to automatically select a pure white value. This double tap feature works in nine points on the color

wheel and can help you find ideal color values.

Back to the layers panel. Tap the layer to access the layers menu. You'll see several options:

rename, select, copy, fill, clear, and more. Tap "clear" so we can start fresh.

Let's select yellow from our palette and draw a banana shape. To fill this area with color quickly,

tap the color circle and drag it into the shape.

we're gonna put those on a new layer. Tap "layers" and tap + to create a new layer. Now I'm gonna select a blackish-brown

Because I'm working on a new layer, I can edit and erase and the banana layer remains unaffected.

Tap this checkbox to hide and show layers.
