When you draw lines with the assisted drawing turned on, your lines will follow the angle of the guidelines and straight lines will be produced no matter how shaky your hand is. For each of the 4 different types of drawing guides, you have the option to turn on assisted drawing. Below is an example of the difference between the 2 types of symmetry. Same as before, the blue dot is used to move the guidelines around and the green dot is used to rotate the guidelines. For symmetry guides, there are 4 different types you can choose from vertical symmetry, horizontal symmetry, quadrant symmetry and radial symmetry. Do the same thing for 3 point perspectives. Now guidelines will appear to support the 2 point perspective. To add another focal point, simply tap on the canvas and another dot will appear. However, the Procreate app can support up to 3 point perspectives. When you first use the perspective, there is only one point perspective, the blue dot in the centre being the focal point. When you want to draw in perspective, knowing where the horizon line is is very important. The dark blue line that goes across the screen is the horizon line. To rotate the guidelines, you will see a lighter blue dot along the dark blue line going across the entire screen, you can rotate the guidelines by dragging the light blue dot around. You can move the guidelines around with the blue dot. Similar to the 2D Grid, there is also a blue and a green dot for moving around and rotating the grid.
At the center of the grid you will see a blue dot, drag it around to move your grid around the canvas. You can change the size of the grid by adjusting the Grid Size slider or manually inputting a number by tapping on the box containing a number to the right of the slider.
I will go through what each of then does and how to edit them. You can also change the colour of the guidelines using the rainbow slider on the top of your screen.
You can adjust the thickness and opacity of the guidelines using the sliders. There are 4 types of drawing guides available in the Procreate app, each serves a different function.ĭifferent guidelines will show up to help with your drawing needs. There may be changes depending on the type of Drawing Guide you choose. The photo below shows you the Drawing Guide interface. Tap on the Edit Drawing Guide and the interface will show up. I will explain what Assisted Drawing is later in this post. However, if you have Assisted Drawing on, your lines will still be affected by the Drawing Guide settings.
There is a switch at the side of the Drawing Guide option, this is to turn drawing guide on and off. Tap on the actions icon on the main menu at the top. This tool is good for drawing with straight lines, accurate perspectives and symmetry. In this post, I will be showing you how to use the drawing guide tool. I will now start going into more specific parts of the app that I briefly mentioned in the previous post due to the complexity of the feature. I have gone through the main overall features of the app.Ĭlick here for the list of tutorials on Procreate.
