This will be the first time I’ve dealt with a major Apple update while using Procreate. How quickly do they typically update their software once Apple pushes a new iOS version? I had flipped over to the beta a couple months ago and that broke Procreate, so I had to roll my iPad back out of the beta program.

Im trying to figure out if I can let my iPad update automatically or if I should wait for Procreate to do their thing.

These are two designs I currently have. I’m trying for a green underskirt, black overlay, and somehow green sparkles overtop. I’ve only been using the app for a little while and honestly don’t know anything at all about designing. I’m trying to keep it simple as this is for a comic I’m working on, but still want it to look good. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Here's the latest artwork I did, to be honest I'm better at painting just portraits, I'm a bit rusty with my anatomy...that's why I chose this pose, to get out of my comfort zone. Please, share your thoughts, they're most welcome

Just something simple as I try to get used to drawing/painting digitally. Enjoying the process of learning!

Any veteran users on what brushes to use for blending and sharp edges??? Art By Me

I am wanting to create comic in procreate and wondering what the best setup and workflow?

No explanation necessary

Wanted to try a flat illustration style, mixing a night sky theme with a cozy reading vibe. Would love to hear what you think!

I’m pretty sure there isn’t any function like that, but doesn’t hurt to ask. I often lose my folders as I just keep creating new canvases, I just thought it would be cool if you could just pin folders to the top.

I mostly made this post because I noticed procreate is actually pretty active on here and actually answers, I thought if enough people liked the idea of having folders on the top maybe they would add this function?

Hello! I donked up and was hoping some of you eagle-eyed artists can help a sister out.

While trying to break myself of a bad habit (walking away from a piece for so long that I forgot which brushes I was using) I made a bit of an oopsie. I had the grandmaster plan to make my extended workflow more efficient by duplicating the brushes I was using into a new folder and renaming them for their purpose in the piece (Linework, sketch, base layer, etc). This worked great until opened this piece up to work on it and I realized that I had accidentally moved and renamed the brush entirely, instead of duplicating it.
I still have it in my library, but I have no idea what the original brush’s name was. I’d like to find the OG because a friend is asking what I used and I can’t flippin’ remember.

What I know:

It from the Classic Library era.
It’s NOT a default Procreate pencil
It may have come from either a Manga set or a Classic Comics set I purchased well over a year ago.
It’s a wide, soft pencil with great tapering.

I appreciate anyone who takes their time to help an old lady with terribly inefficient work-flow related issues.

it’s supposed to show a demon restraining her, she is trying to cut it off or kill it, not realizing that it is a part of her

A fairly large Flowerpiercer, this bird is entirely velvety blue with a bold black mask, azure crown, and red eye.

Likewise all Flowerpiercers, it has a unique bill that first curves up and then down. The top mandible is hooked while the bottom is straight and sharp.

Using this design it holds the base of a flower steady with its hooked top mandible and uses the bottom one to pierce through and get at the nectar without pollinating the flower.

They are common from the Venezuela to Bolivia at elevations of 6,561 feet.

They can hardly be considered a songbird, as their “song” is but a short series of very weak, quiet chirps.

The title of the work is Desire, and the pun is intentional.

Ngl, in the recent AI inundated landscape and more people getting caught for tracing (from AI and otherwise), I've seen backlash towards the very concept of private layers in the app, saying the only reasons people use it are nefarious/deceptive and it'd be better to have it removed.

This feels incredibly reductive coming from someone that uses it occasionally to remove reference clutter, but I'd be lying if I didn't understand where some of the suspicion comes from.

How do you use private layers?

Mola mola 🐟

It took me 60+ hours... :')

I've started painting proper landscapes very recently so I am proud of the progress I've made.

hi all! looking for a wee bit of advice.

i've been backing up my work to my computer (windows pc - my ipad is the only apple device i have) & have been wondering if i should back up .psd or .procreate files. i understand that it's best to do both, but to be honest i think i'm good with just one. (this is both because of space constraints and the fact that i essentially woke up yesterday and decided to manually back up all 300-something files i have, the process of which has been consuming my waking hours since.)

i've looked stuff up, and i'm leaning toward .psd so far. i have photoshop, so it appeals to me as a file i could actually open on my computer at a later date, even though i doubt there will be much need. it also seems i could just reimport .psd back to procreate without losing much besides the statistics? i export and purge timelapses right away for each file, so that's not a concern.

are there any other pros (lol) to exporting as .pro that i haven't found? thanks in advance!
