How to Add a Picture on Procreate Pocket
Are you a digital artist looking to enhance your creativity on the go? Procreate Pocket is the perfect app for artists who want to sketch, paint, and create wherever they are. One of the most useful features of this app is the ability to add images to your canvas. Whether you want to use a reference photo or simply add a background, this guide will walk you through the steps on how to add a picture on Procreate Pocket.
Step 1: Open Procreate Pocket
First, make sure you have Procreate Pocket installed on your device. Once you have the app open, you will see a blank canvas or a new document. Tap on the “+” button to create a new canvas or open an existing one.
Step 2: Access the Layers Panel
To add a picture, you need to access the Layers panel. On the bottom toolbar, tap on the layers icon (it looks like a stack of papers). This will open the Layers panel on the right side of your screen.
Step 3: Create a New Layer
In the Layers panel, tap on the “+” button to create a new layer. This new layer will be on top of your existing canvas. It’s important to create a new layer for your picture so that you can manipulate it independently from your main artwork.
Step 4: Import a Picture
Now that you have a new layer, it’s time to import the picture you want to add. Tap on the “Import” button (it looks like a folder) at the bottom of the Layers panel. This will open a menu with various options for importing images.
Step 5: Choose an Image
Select the image you want to add from your device’s gallery. You can choose from photos, screenshots, or even images from other apps. Once you have selected the image, tap on “Use” to import it into Procreate Pocket.
Step 6: Resize and Position the Image
After importing the image, you may need to resize and position it on your canvas. Tap on the image layer to select it, and then use your fingers to pinch and stretch the image to adjust its size. To move the image, simply drag it to the desired location on the canvas.
Step 7: Adjust Opacity and Blending Modes
If you want to adjust the transparency of the image or change how it blends with your artwork, tap on the image layer to select it. In the Layers panel, you will see options for opacity and blending modes. Experiment with different settings to achieve the desired effect.
Step 8: Save Your Work
Once you are satisfied with the image on your canvas, don’t forget to save your work. Tap on the “Save” button at the top right corner of the screen, and choose a location to save your document.
Now you have successfully added a picture to your Procreate Pocket canvas. With this feature, you can unleash your creativity and create stunning digital art on the go. Happy painting!
