Remember the color selection tool in the top-right corner? Tap and hold down on that circle with your Apple Pencil, stylus, or finger. Then drag the color to the shape you want to fill in and release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As many you asked, how do I fill an area in procreate? Draw an outline around the area you want to fill, making sure the shape is completely closed with no gaps. Drag the color circle from the top menu within the shape to fill the area. You may want to go back over the area with a textured brush and roughen the edges or add some grain.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, how do I fill an image in procreate? Method 2: Fill With an Image or Texture Select the photo saved to your iPad that you want to use. Open the Layers panel again and tap the thumbnail of your lettering and tap Select. Tap Invert Selection. Open the layers panel and tap the thumbnail of the texture or colored layer and tap Clear.<\/p>\n<p>Also the question is, why is symmetry on procreate not working? If you toggle ON your Drawing Guide, but the symmetry feature isn&#8217;t working, make sure that Assisted Drawing is enabled on your layer. If it isn&#8217;t, you won&#8217;t be able to draw in symmetry.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, how do I make straight lines in procreate? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zU-T51XIVKI\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6ERY-3V1v4Y\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How do you liquify words in Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To Liquify in Procreate, open the Adjustments tab and click on the Liquify button.
