How To Use Layer Masks (not only) for Handwriting, Calligraphy, and Lettering in Procreate 4
I made this step-by-step mini-tutorial to demonstrate the new Layer Mask feature in Procreate 4. Using Layer Masks is a great way to paint beautiful textures on your lettering, to decorate your handwriting with nice patterns, or to add soft gradients to calligraphy. You can use the same method for shape painting as well as to add shadows and highlights to selected areas of your artwork.
I hope you find this mini-tutorial useful. Of course, there are many other ways to use masked layers for “non-destructive” drawing and painting. If you like, I’ll be glad to show you more examples and demonstrate some of my other workflows.
For more info about Layer Masks and to learn about the other new features in Procreate 4, I recommend reading the free Procreate Artists’ Handbook.
Happy Layer Masking! 😎
