Choose Select Contents from the layer menu. Pull down your layers, select the one with the pink box on it, and tap on the image thumbnail. Now we’re going to use our handy pink box layer to chop off the very bottoms of those letters. I always recommend stashing a backup copy, in case you (and by you, I mean I) mess up and need to start over. Here’s a close-up of my overlaps:ĭuplicate your text layer, and tuck a copy away. And keep everything relatively close to the baseline - no big swoopy descenders on this one. When you write, make sure that anything that touches the baseline crosses over it just a little bit. It’s a nice heavy, solid line, with just a little bit of pressure sensitivity.

Here I’ve used the “Minimalist” brush from.

Brush width/pressure settings are up to you. One tap gets you a square then just resize it to fill the bottom half of the canvas.) (How did I make a nice rectangle? I created a custom brush using the square shape and solid fill that are already in Procreate’s library of shapes and grains. I’m going to call this the “pink box layer” (though you’re welcome to make this box any color you like). I’m going to use this for two things: as a baseline that my text will sit on as I write it, and as a shape I can use in order to mask off the top half or bottom half of my canvas. I’ve also created a third layer with a big pink rectangle. My first two layers for anything, you may have figured out by now, are a grid (the grid brush is in the “Textures” group) and a rough pencil sketch. I’m creating this one on the 4×6 size in Procreate measurements and percentages may be different depending on what size canvas you choose. I’m calling this one “spooky,” since Halloween is just around the corner, but I guess it doesn’t have to be - you could draw a silhouette of a superstar singer, or a fabulous something/someone else, and have the lights and mist pouring around them.Īnyhoo, my place is not to judge what you use this mist effect for. Hello again! Back with another effect tutorial for the Procreate app in iOS.
