What can we use if we don't have an iPad or Procreate?
If you don't have Procreate on an iPad, use free drawing apps like ibisPaint or Autodesk SketchBook on a tablet/phone, or draw the LucaTheSketcher character on paper, photograph it, then import the photo to finish, save, and export as a PNG.
My ink lines disappear or look faint when I exportâwhat should I check?
Make sure your ink layer is above the pencil sketch layer and visible, increase the ink brush opacity or size if lines are faint, and verify no layers are hidden before using Procreate Actions > Share > PNG to export.
How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger kids, simplify by using one layer for sketch and color with big brushes and a pre-chosen LucaTheSketcher character, while older kids can add extra layers for detailed shadows/highlights, custom brushes, or use Procreate's Animation Assist for a short animated meme.
How can we make the meme more unique or fun?
Personalize it by designing a patterned background on the background layer, adding small props on extra layers and custom text styles on the caption layer, then export the PNG and share on DIY.org.
