Tip #4: Keep Your Color Palettes Organized

When working in the Procreate application, it’s important to have your color palettes both organized and accessible. Each color palette can be accessed within the Palettes tab in the color circle icon.Mockup via blackzheep.

Just as with layers, it’s also important to label each of your color palettes. Organizing each palette by color theme (such as retro hues) or project type is a great way to get started. Hit the plus sign icon at the top of the Palettes tab to create a new palette, then select Untitled to rename the palette.

To arrange the color squares, hold down on the hue and then move as needed; hold down on the square to delete the swatch. Enable the Set Default button to quickly access the palette in the Color section.

What’s the best iPad for Procreate? The latest version of the Procreate for iPad app is 4.2.1, and it requires an iPad running iOS 11.1 or newer. That means the latest version of Procreate can run on all five of the iPad models currently on sale from Apple: iPad Pro (12.9-in., 11-in., and 10.5-in. models), iPad (6th Generation, 2018) and iPad Mini 4. Previous iPad models capable of running the latest version of Procreate are iPad Pro 9.7-in., iPad 5th Generation (2017), iPad Air, iPad Air 2, and iPad Mini 2 and 3. Older versions of Procreate run on many older iPad models. To get the full, up-to-date Procreate experience, you’ll want to have one of the two iPad models that arrived in November 2018: the 12.9-in. or 11-in. iPad Pro. These two models are the only devices compatible with the new Apple Pencil.

Tip #9: Use StreamLine for Brush Lettering

Many lettering artists rely on Procreate to create stunning typography designs. Procreate’s extensive brush library and tools translate very well when applied to calligraphy or hand drawn lettering. Mockup via blackzheep. When first testing out some brushes, you may notice that your curves appear wobbly and uneven. To fix this, click on a brush from the Brush Library and select the Stroke tab at the bottom. Use the slider to adjust the percentage of StreamLine. I typically settle around 75-80% when using the StreamLine function; too much of it can constrict your curves and letters.

Tip #5: Learn the Recolor Methods

When using Procreate, there will be times where you will need to recolor a single shape or an entire layer. The ColorDrop technique is great for recoloring a few shapes, while the Alpha Lock Fill Layer method works great for recoloring an entire layer. Mockup via blackzheep. To use the ColorDrop method, select the layer that you’re working with and click and drag the color circle to the shape you’d like to recolor. The new hue will fill in the boundaries of your shape, like seen above. This method only works if your illustration is completely closed off; using this technique on an open shape will fill the entire layer with the selected hue. Mockup via blackzheep. When working with a more complex composition, using the Alpha Lock Fill Layer command is a much quicker way to go. Instead of dragging the ColorDrop onto each line, shape, or letter, you can change the entire layer’s colors in one fell swoop. Go to the layer you’d like to edit, then click on its thumbnail and select Alpha Lock
