What shortcuts have you learned so far while using procreate?

What can we use instead of an iPad or Procreate if we can't find them?

If you don't have Procreate or an iPad you can use a similar tablet app like Autodesk SketchBook or Adobe Fresco to create layers and use a pencil brush, or sketch on paper and photograph it to import into the app later.

What should we do if the two-finger undo or three-finger redo doesn't work while drawing the character?

If the two-finger undo or three-finger redo doesn't work, check Procreate's Gesture Controls in Settings to make sure gestures are enabled or use the undo/redo buttons in the top-left instead.

How can we adapt this activity for younger children or older kids who want more challenge?

For younger kids skip adding separate layers and combine sketch and color on one layer while using simple pinch-to-zoom and the pencil brush, and for older kids use separate sketch and color layers with Alpha Lock, lower the sketch layer opacity, and add detailed shading or rotate the canvas for fine details.

How can we extend or personalize the finished drawing before sharing it on DIY.org?

To extend the activity personalize your character by creating a custom color palette, adding a background on a new layer beneath the color layer, and exporting Procreate's time-lapse or a PNG to share on DIY.org.
