A Tiny Slice of How I Use Procreate for My Children's Picture Book

The image below is a slice from an 8000x4000 pixel cover image. I’m redrawing and repainting my Momma Jay character for the tenth time. In this case I’m painting on the layer below the line work. I’ve drawn a selection beneath that follows the line work for her head and I’m about to delete the over-paint. The diagonal selection lines that indicate the borders of the selection are quite faint in this small image, but they are there. The next step is to click “Invert” and then delete. That’s the awkward part of this process because I now have to go to the layers panel, click on the thumbnail for the image, find the “Clear” option, and click it. It’s a little clumsy, but it works okay once you’ve done it a thousand times. It’s definitely a First World problem.
