One of the first things I teach in the Masterclass is layers, because it’s such a timesaver and there’s so many things you can do if you know how to manage your layers on Procreate. For most of my free tutorials, I usually follow this pattern: ▶️ Paper Texture Layer ▶️ Sketch layer (Set to Multiply) ⬇️Shadow Layer (Clipping Masked to Base Layer) ⬇️Detail Layer (Clipping Masked to Base Layer) ⬇️Texture Detail Layer (Clipping Masked to Base Layer) ▶️ Base Layer This allows me the maximum level of flexibility, allowing me tweak colors and textures without touching on other layers. 😊
