Question 1: What does the QuickShape feature do in Procreate?
- Automatically converts a drawn shape into a perfect geometric form (Correct answer)
- Mirrors your strokes across a center axis
- Fills a shape with the current color instantly

QuickShape activates when you draw a shape and hold your finger down, snapping it into a perfect circle, rectangle, or other geometry.
Question 2: Which gesture lets you undo the last action in Procreate?
- Swipe left with two fingers
- Tap the canvas with two fingers (Correct answer)

Tapping the canvas with two fingers performs an undo in Procreate.
Question 3: What is the maximum canvas resolution Procreate can export at?
- 72 DPI only
- 300 DPI
- It depends on the canvas size and layer count (Correct answer)
- 4K fixed resolution
Correct answer: It depends on the canvas size and layer count
Procreate's export resolution depends on the pixel dimensions set when creating the canvas, not a fixed DPI ceiling.
Question 4: What happens when you tap 'Flatten' in the Layers panel?
- Deletes all hidden layers
- Merges all visible layers into one raster layer (Correct answer)
- Converts layers to a PDF
- Locks all layers simultaneously
Correct answer: Merges all visible layers into one raster layer
Flatten merges every visible layer into a single raster layer, permanently combining their content.
Question 5: What does the Symmetry drawing guide assist with?
- Evenly spacing multiple layers
- Mirroring strokes in real time across one or more axes (Correct answer)
- Tracing imported reference photos automatically
- Aligning text to a baseline grid
Correct answer: Mirroring strokes in real time across one or more axes
The Symmetry guide mirrors your strokes live so both sides of the canvas are drawn simultaneously.
Question 6: How do you add a new layer in Procreate?
- Tap the '+' icon in the Layers panel (Correct answer)
- Drag a color swatch onto the canvas
- Triple-tap the canvas
- Use the Share menu
Correct answer: Tap the '+' icon in the Layers panel
Tapping the '+' icon at the top-right of the Layers panel creates a new blank layer above the current one.
Question 7: What is a 'Clipping Mask' used for in Procreate?
- Hiding parts of a layer using another layer's shape (Correct answer)
- Clipping the canvas to a custom aspect ratio
- Exporting only a selected region
- Grouping layers for export
Correct answer: Hiding parts of a layer using another layer's shape
A Clipping Mask constrains a layer's visibility to the opaque areas of the layer directly below it.
