Layers let you stack image elements on top of each other. They let you paint objects that overlap without altering work you’ve already done. Plus you can move, edit, recolor and delete elements with total creative freedom.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Quick Answer, how do I use different layers in procreate? <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new canvas, or open one that you want to use.<\/li>\n
  2. Tap the Layers<\/strong> menu. It’s the two squares on top of each other on the top-right corner of your screen.<\/li>\n
  3. Tap on the plus (+) icon on the top-right corner of the Layers<\/strong> menu.<\/li>\n
  4. That’s it! You’ve created a new layer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Also the question is, how many layers do I need in procreate? I usually work with a DPI no lower than 300 and canvas size no less than 3000-4000px. I also like to draw different illustration elements on separate layers (because it is easier to fix a drawing that way afterward), so I easily use<\/strong> anywhere from 25 to 35 layers<\/strong> per illustration.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, what are layers in drawing apps? Layers are an essential digital feature of image editing software. They are like stacked sheets of transparent paper. Using layers<\/strong> to overlap each other gives depth to an illustration. Some artists will use<\/strong> 7~8 layers on a character’s eyes alone!<\/p>\n

    As many you asked, how do I know which layer to procreate<\/strong>?
