      Do you have an iCloud or iTunes backup? Maybe you can restore it that way
      Edit: nvm, I just saw procreate is turned off in iCloud. Maybe still worth checking out though, especially if you have an iTunes backup

    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 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 !!!

    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

      I got an iPad Pro that wasn’t used about one and three quarters years ago. It cost $1300, which is INCREDIBLY expensive, but I’m so happy I got it. Idk how big it is, I forgot, but it’s the same size as a typical piece of printer paper. It’s helped me so much even though it was expensive, it was a real upgrade from a $80 Android Tablet.

    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 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

    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.

    • @BrookeGlaser
      @BrookeGlaser  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Omg, you took me for a total throw back with MS Paint! Haven't thought of that in YEARS. But yes, exactly! You can make amazing art with all kinds of tools.

  • @FlameRat_YehLon
    @FlameRat_YehLon Před 2 měsíci +5

    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.

  • @caguay
    @caguay Před 2 měsíci +3

    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.

    I did both 1 and 2. 2 when I was making stacks and for some reason it deleted over 30 drawings instead of putting it into a stack and 1 by accident, instead of temporarily making room without actually removing (the option that’s build in) I removed it. Luckily both times I was able to get it back by resetting my iPad to the latest back up (I was smart enough to have procreate in the automatic iCloud backup, thanks past self) 😅

Not exactly procreate that caused that and more the fact that I now can draw directly on the screen whereas before I had a super old wacom tablet 😂

    There are two kinds of people: those who don't do backups and those who didn't do backups.
    Backup everything, not just procreate. Ideally in file formats that can be read by other apps too. And now and then make sure those backups actually contain everything important. Storage space is dirt cheap nowadays and definitely cheaper than losing something important.

Thank you for the best videos out there in my opinion.
