Masking is one of those things that sounds like it’s important to know, but is also kind of like..but do I ~really~ need to know it?
Yep. It’s *that* important.
But no worries, because I’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about clipping masks, layer masks and why I NEVER (← deserves all caps) recommend alpha lock (and what to use instead!)
This is masking in Procreate for beginners where I also share multiple examples for each, so you’ll have them all down in ~10 mins ✨

TECH STUFF + ACCESSORIES I USE
✨ This was filmed on a 5th gen iPad Pro (12.9”, 256GB) with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil using the Procreate app
✨ I use the Paperlike screen protector + their pencil grips: every-tuesday.com/paperlike
✨I recommend any iPad listed here for working in Procreate: every-tuesday.com/ipads as they all allow for pressure sensitivity. I only recommend an Apple Pencil (gen 1 or 2) because of its reliability compared to other 3rd party styluses. Don't buy the USB-C Apple Pencil - it is *not* pressure sensitive!
