So you’ve invested in an iPad and Pencil, you’ve downloaded Procreate, and you’re ready to go. Well, before we get creative, there is one essential step to help you make beautiful artwork in Procreate.
You’ll find when you open the Procreate app that you can draw with your fingers as well as your Pencil, but you’ll also notice that Procreate still recognizes the touch of your fingers when you’re using the Pencil.
You might start making strange marks with parts of your hand, and when you’re drawing, you’ll probably want to be able to lean the base of your hand on the canvas without making marks.
To turn this setting off, open a canvas and tap the wrench icon, which will open the “Actions” menu. Then go to “Preferences”, and click “Gesture controls”. Next, click “General” and “Disable touch actions”.
