Is Alpha Lock the best-kept secret in Procreate? 🤫✨ If you’re still carefully painting every detail and constantly hitting "undo" because you went outside the lines, this video is for you! I’m showing you exactly how to use Alpha Lock to add patterns, textures, and shading in half the time. In this quick Procreate tip, we’ll look at a tropical fish illustration to see how Alpha Lock keeps your layer stack clean and your workflow lightning-fast. No more messy edges, no more frustration, just pure creativity. 🔍 What you will learn in this video: 🟡 How to activate Alpha Lock (The 2-finger swipe shortcut!). 🟡 Why Alpha Lock is different (and sometimes better) than Clipping Masks. 🟡 How to keep your layers organized while adding complex details. 🟡 Real-world example: Adding scales and stripes to a tropical fish in seconds. 🚀 Join me on Patreon for more!
