Hi everyone!
In this last lesson of the welcome chapter, I
wanted to briefly touch base on some of the
digital tools I use frequently in Procreate.
So as you you can see here, I
have the chicken prepared on different layers.
Firstly, I'll just go through a couple of layer modes
that I use frequently, Clipping Mask and Alpha Lock.
So, I'm just gonna create a new layer here,
and when we click into it, we can
see that there are many layer settings.
So let's start with Clipping Mask.
I'm just gonna create a new layer here,
and put it on Clipping Mask layer mode.
So Clipping Mask is almost like a decal or a
sticker that will stick only onto the layer below.
So I'm just gonna draw patterns and I can

move my Clipping mask around, and it will only show
up on the layer that it is masking below.
And I can create multiple clipping masks.
Let's say I want red stripes and they
will work on the same layer below.
Okay, so let's move on to the Alpha Lock layer
mode, which is the mode I use the most often.
Alpha Lock locks the current layer opacity, and you will only
be able to draw on the pixels you already have.
So, let's say I want to change the color of the shadow.
I'm going to Alpha Lock this and now
I can only draw within the shadow.
Next, I'll go through the Layer blend modes.
There are many different types and what they do
is they change the color setting of the current
layer, based on the layer underneath them.
The ones I like to use the most is
"Multiply", which makes things darker, which makes things brighter,
and "Overlay", which makes things more saturated.
When you are drawing, I encourage you
to just play around with them.
Next, let's look at the color
adjustments, you can find them over here.
The first one is pretty straightforward.
We can adjust saturation, brightness or the hue.
Second one, Color balance I use quite often.
You can control the colors individually
based on the shadows or highlights.
So, if I want to change the shadows to a more blue
hue, I can do that.
Or if I want to change the highlights, I can do that.
And the next one is curves.
Gamma basically changes the brightness.
The one on the right is to change the bright parts and
the one on the left is to change the darker parts.
Same thing, the one on the right changes the bright parts and
the one on the left changes the dark parts.
The rest are pretty straightforward.
We have transform and there
are many types of transform.
We have uniform transform.
It keeps the ratio, and theres freeform, so
we can make him really short and fat.
There's distortion and there's Warp.
It seems like he's on the curve surface.
And to reset them,
there's this button here that can reset everything for us.
And there's also the drawing guides, over here.
We can edit the drawing guide, move this
around, even have different types of drawing guides.
We have perspective, and symmetry.
And I saved the best for last! The liquify tool!
So the liqify tool can push stuff and pull stuff.
It can help you change the shape of your drawing.
Very useful! And there are different types of liquify.
You can expand,
or you can pinch.
Different, different types,
you can even twirl to the right or twirl to the left.
And similarly it has a reset button
there to help us reset everything.
Very cool! And that's the end of the welcome chapter!
In the next lesson, we'll be getting started
with chapter one, I'll be going through some basic
drawing drills and exercises that can help you
get more comfortable with drawing.
