  1. How did you creat boarder line in the coloring page

  2. Hi! thanks for this. I did this with an existing image that I had and while far out it looks good up close it looks very pixelated. I just imported the picture, was that the problem?

  3. Pretty cool.
    First time I've seen digital coloring
    Thanks, Cristin

  5. Great video. I'm just learning Procreate and this step by step was so helpful. Thank you!!!

  6. Exactly what I was looking for, with lots of cool tricks and examples. Thank you!

  7. @Cristin AF – Thanks for the tutorial! It was exactly what I was looking for!

    PS. I usually use printer pro app to just print the one page I want direct to pdf then convert using scanner pro (another app by readdle) to just convert that file quickly to jpg. But if you ever want to convert your coloring books in bulk, you can use any of the following free online tools:

    pdf2go.com
    online-convert.com
    pdf2png.com
    lunapic.com 💜 this tool does everything

    please feel free to check these links with urlvoid.com (or website reputation checker of your choice) so you know I’m not spamming you or anything…

    I’m all about pdf’s and various conversions but I am very new to procreate so I genuinely appreciate your vids! Thanks again! 🤗

  8. Every time I drag the color on a spit it fills in the whole thing what do I do?

  9. I'm been umming over Procreate since I got my iPad Pro in Feb.
    Thanks for making my mind up that I really need this app! I've been colouring pages in Goodnotes, with the highlighter tool, which has been good but need better now!

  10. I am a little late to this, but I was wondering how is the best way to get a favourite colouring books in to Procreate. I have a iPad mini 2. And I have a few favourite books I want to colour but have a fear of recking
    it. I think that it would be great to be able to get them down loaded into Procreate. Then I wouldn’t be afraid of rune my favourite books.

    I plan on upgrading my iPad. Which one are you using? Cheers. Kristin.

  11. I have watched about 40 Procreate tutorials, this is one of the best I have come across, covering so many things I needed help with – Thank you! 😊

  12. Does anyone know how to do this in IbisPaint X?

  13. Really cuz I tried that and it just filled my whole page

  14. Fabulous content and the execution was amazing!! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

  15. I have been looking for a tutorial just like this … it was perfect … so much great info! I definitely wouldn't be disappointed if you made another one lol, especially touching even more on how to add shadows/highlights etc (hint hint lol 😀) … but thank you again for this tutorial 🤗 … I actually like to color adult coloring books and I use colored pencils but I am HORRIBLE at picking out colors, SO I first color it digitally and then once I am happy with the colors and placements, I will then use that as my "cheat sheet" for my coloring my pages with my pencils 🙂

  16. WOW! I've been doing it all WRONG! I didn't even know how to drag a screenshot in to another program. I may have to binge watch your channel : ) Sincerely…..thank you

  17. Can you color using using the shading like you did on the petals, or adding a line of shine? I don’t like the drag and fill, seems too tedious. Plus I need to work on a coloring page that has lots of scales on a mermaid. 😊 I want to make them individual colored/shaded.

  19. 0/10 I need a part 2 please I’m so confused and this was so unhelpful and now I’m even more stressed because I can’t figure this out 😩
