✍️ Sample Procreate Questions & Answers
1. What does 'Size' on the Procreate brush bar at the left side of the canvas control?
The left-side Size bar controls the maximum diameter of the currently selected brush tip.
2. How do you add a new blank frame to a Procreate animation?
Both tapping Add Frame in the Animation toolbar and tapping the + in the Layers panel add a new blank frame to the animation.
3. What resolution should a Procreate canvas be set to for artwork used only on social media (web/screen)?
72 DPI (or 96 DPI) is the standard screen resolution — higher DPI adds file size without visible benefit on digital displays.
4. Which export format should you choose in Procreate to preserve editable layers in Adobe Photoshop?
Exporting as PSD preserves Procreate layers in a format that Photoshop can open with layers intact.
5. What is the purpose of the 'Set as Default' option for a Procreate palette?
Setting a palette as default causes Procreate to always show that palette first when opening the color picker panel.
6. What can you do to vectorize artwork created in Procreate?
Procreate itself is a raster-based application, meaning it doesn't natively create vector artwork. However, to prepare raster artwork for vectorization in a separate vector editor, you would typically switch off the background layer. This ensures that when you export the artwork (e.g., as a PNG with transparency), only your drawn elements are present, making it easier for a vectorization tool to trace the lines and shapes accurately without a solid background interfering.
