How to draw in Procreate?
First, let’s look at the basics: how draw in Procreate ?
To do this, I invite you to choose a brush from the brush library, accessible from the brush-shaped icon at the top right of your screen.
Next, select the color of your choice in the Colors panel, which can be accessed from the color chip at the top right of your canvas.
I can’t draw in Procreate, what should I do?
There are several reasons that can explain a dysfunction when you try designer. Let’s take a closer look at these different problems.
The opacity of your brush is zero.
The most common mistake is having reduced the opacity of the brush during our work. You can set the opacity of the brush from the wheel at the bottom left of your screen. If this is minimal, then the opacity is 0% and you can’t draw in Procreate. I invite you to wind it up to 100%, like in the screenshot below, and your stylus will work again!
Your cape is locked
You may have applied alpha lock on your layer, which doesn’t allow you to draw outside of strokes already made on that layer.
If alpha lock is on, your layer has a grid pattern in the background of your drawing. You can turn it off by swiping two fingers to the right on its layer. You can also click on the layer and, in the dialog that appears, deselect “Lock Alpha”.
Your brush has the same color as your background.
Without doing it on purpose, you may have selected the color of your background, which will have the effect of make your line invisible, although existing. Please check the selected color (represented by the color chip at the top right of your screen) and try again.
Your pen has run out of battery
The last reason that could explain that you can’t draw in procreate is the fact that your pen has no battery. In this case you will not be able to draw or do anything else.
