Quick Guide for How to Draw on Procreate in 2020 [video!] • Bardot Brush

I’m gonna first select the F and then tap the arrow to access the transform tool. This is what you use to move elements around the canvas. You can use the options at the bottom to flip, rotate, you can also grab this little green handle and rotate.

If you turn the magnetics off you can kind of move freely and you can resize any which way you want. If you have magnetics on you’ll get little guides when you move around, and if you resize, you’ll maintain the uniform shape. Another way to resize objects is by pinching and zooming. And no matter what when you do this, it will always maintain that same size ratio.

If you need to zoom in while in Transform Mode, hold down the arrow icon with one finger and spread out to zoom. Tap, tap, tap in any direction to nudge your selection pixel-by-pixel.

And we’ll zoom back out. If I tap the transform arrow without making a selection, that’s gonna select the entire contents of that layer.

The distort function allows you to manipulate like this if you drag on the corners, or if you grab the edge, it’ll kind of make a shearing effect, and then there’s also the warp option, which you can really get crazy with. You can even, like, fold over, grab in the middle, and move it around and just get really weird with it. 

You can select and transform multiple layers at a time. We’re gonna go ahead and select all of our layers by swiping right on each one and then let’s just make a selection here and you can see we can transform just that part.

If you need to go back and edit your selection, once you’re in transform mode, tap and hold the selection icon.
