Did you ever wonder what the difference was between using a Clipping Mask or Alpha Lock? Clipping Mask: • Add a New Layer above your lettering/design layer and change it to a Clipping Mask. • Then you add your colors, patterns, etc. It will only show up on the layer below it. When do I like using a Clipping Mask: • To add textures, shadows, highlights, details and patterns to my lettering/drawing. Examples would be if I wanted to create a galaxy design, ribbon lettering effect, etc. • You can even use a picture on a Clipping Mask. Example would be drawing a shape and then importing a picture from your photo gallery to show up on your shape in Procreate. • The benefit of this is if you use multiple Clipping Masks, you don’t have to worry about starting over if you want to change
