In this video, I want to give you a general idea on how procreate stores each section of the application. The first one is the canvas section. And within that there is a few options. You can select multiple illustrations and stacks. You can preview them, duplicate or even delete illustrations. You can import illustrations from your cloud.
You can add photos from your photo library and then being able to start new illustrations with that photo as your base layer. And you can also create new canvases and even store them for the future. Once inside any of your illustrations. There are two more sections on procreate. The left side has your preferences Also some helpers such as drawing guides, the ability to add adjustments to your layers, and also color correction. You have powerful selection tools for each layer of your illustration with a few of these other options here which will also go through in later videos.
We also have the Move Tool and the ability to scale and tweak your layers. And on the right side of the menu, you have everything necessary for the creation of your illustration. You have the brushes library. With the ability to save your favorite brushes into a separate set. You can use the smudge tool. There's the eraser tool, which also follows the same brush library and then you have your Layers panel.
In the Layers panel, you're able to do several things including masking layers, and changing blend modes. And finally, the color menu which allows you to tweak colors based on many different ways and techniques, and also the ability to save your colors into your favorite palettes. Finally, on the right side of the menu, you have controls for your brush size and opacity as well as the Undo and Redo buttons. Just about here at the bottom. This section is related to your preferences into right hand or left hand interface. In my case because of left handed, I do use the right hand interface so that my drone hand doesn't stay on top of these options.
Finally, you're also able to reposition this menu right here. If you basically just drag with your pencil out, and then you can move upwards or downwards. Now let's move on to the next lesson, which will we'll learn how to stay organized in procreate.
