Symmetry Guide
Symmetry guides mirror your art across multiple planes for mind-bending effects.
Customize
Set up and adjust your Symmetry Guide.
In Actions > Canvas, tap Edit Drawing Guide. This will take you to the Drawing Guides screen.
Tap the Symmetry button on the bottom of the screen.
When you first open Symmetry, the Vertical Symmetry Guide is shown by default.
Your Symmetry Guide appears as thin lines that overlay your artwork. You can adjust the look and behavior of your guide with the following options.
Position and Rotation
Drag the two nodes to adjust the exact positions of your grid lines.
The Blue Node
The blue Positional node moves the whole grid over the canvas.
The Green Node
The green Rotational node rotates the grid lines.
To reset the grid to the default position, tap one of the nodes, then tap Reset.
Vertical Symmetry
This mode puts a guideline vertically down the middle of your canvas. Anything you draw on one side of the canvas will be reproduced in real-time on the other side.
You can move and rotate this guide to create mirrored results on an angle.
Horizontal Symmetry
This mode puts a guideline horizontally across the middle of your canvas. Anything you draw on the top half of the canvas will be reproduced in real-time on the bottom half, and vice versa.
You can move and rotate this guide to create mirrored results on an angle.
Quadrant Symmetry
This mode divides your canvas into quadrants using both a horizontal and vertical guideline. Anything you draw in one quadrant will be reproduced in real-time in all the others.
Radial Symmetry
This mode splits your canvas into eight segments using horizontal, vertical, and diagonal guidelines. Anything you draw in one segment will be reproduced in real-time in all the others.
Mirrored vs Rotational
By default, new Symmetry Guides use Mirror Symmetry: they reflect (and flip) your strokes across the guideline.
In Rotational Symmetry mode, your stroke is reflected and rotated. Essentially, the reproduction is flipped both horizontally and vertically at the same time.
Experiment to see the difference in effect. Tap the Rotational Symmetry toggle to switch between the two behaviors.
Семь советов работы в Procreate
Одна из основных причин, по которой приложение Procreate приятно использовать — это его минималистичный интерфейс. Холст не загромождает куча значков, оставляя свободное пространство для творчества, не отвлекаясь на них. Это не означает, что приложение для рисования имеет маленький функционал, функции просто скрыты из виду и требуют небольшого дополнительного открытия.
В этой статье рассмотрим 7 советов по экономии времени, которые помогут вам максимально эффективно использовать Procreate для иллюстрации. Знание этих скрытых функций и действий поможет вам перемещаться по интерфейсу на профессиональном уровне.
1. Цветовая палитра
Отличительной чертой иллюстрации середины 20 века является использование ярких контрастных цветов. При работе с упрощенной цветовой палитрой важно иметь к ней быстрый доступ.
Панель цветовой палитры в Procreate интуитивно понятна и проста в использовании.
Нажатие на цветной круг, покажет цветовую палитру.
Цветовая палитра в Procreate
Вы можете переместить палитру в удобное вам место, перетащив ее за верхнюю часть.
Цветовая палитра в Procreate
Если вам нужно выбрать цвет с вашего рисунка, то нажмите пальцем на экран и удерживайте его, включится функция пипетки.
Функция пипетки в Procreate
Вы можете сохранить выбранный цвет, коснувшись пустого квадрата на панели «Цветовая палитра».
Сохранение выбранного цвета в Procreate
Последние использованные цвета будут сохраняться в истории.
История сохраненного цвета в Procreate
Вы увидите, что у вас есть возможность установить для палитры значение «По умолчанию». При этом палитра будет оставаться активной на других экранах настройки цвета.
Палитра по умолчанию в Procreate
Вы также можете удалить образец цвета — нажмите и удерживайте квадрат образца и в появившемся меню выберите «Удалить». Или, чтобы удалить всю палитру, проведите пальцем влево и нажмите «Удалить».
Совет: чтобы использовать предыдущий цвет, удерживайте цветной круг в верхнем меню несколько секунд, и он поменяется местами обратно. Идеально подходит для работы с двумя тонами.
Вкладка «Гармония»
Вкладка Гармония в Procreate
На этой вкладке можно создать цветовые схемы, используя классическую теорию цвета. Можно выбрать одну из 5 цветовых гармоний. Нажмите на дополнительные и вам откроется список гармоний. Передвигая кружочки с цветами, вы можете делать нужные вам сочетания.
2. Цветовая заливка (Color Drop)
Еще одна удобная уловка, позволяющая сэкономить время — это функция заливки цвета. Нарисуйте контур вокруг области, которую вы хотите закрасить, убедившись, что форма полностью закрыта без промежутков. Перетащите цветной круг из верхнего меню внутрь фигуры, чтобы заполнить область.
Цветовая заливка в Procreate
Вы можете вернуться к этой области текстурированной кистью и сделать края шероховатыми или добавить немного текстуры.
Совет: важно, чтобы в контуре формы не было зазоров, поэтому используйте кисть с минимальной текстурой.
3. Пластика
В Procreate есть мощная функция «Пластика». Пластика может быть подобна психоделической машине времени, создавая сумасшедшую графику, которая похожа на порталы в другое измерение или когда используется сдержанно, добавляет реалистичную рябь к формам и штрихам. Идеально подходит для рисования кофейного пара или придания шероховатости краям контура!
Вы найдете настройки «Пластика» в раскрывающемся меню под панелью настроек.
Настройки Пластики в Procreate
Это приведет к появлению настроек внизу экрана. Вы можете выбрать между Толкать, Вихрь по чс, Вихрь против чс, Сжать, Расширить, Кристаллы, Край, Восстановить. Есть ползунки для регулировки размера и давления, а также искажения и импульса. Если вы зайдете слишком далеко, вы можете использовать параметр «Восстановить», чтобы отбросить эффект или «Сброс», чтобы удалить его полностью.
Настройки изображения в Procreate
4. Симметрия
Еще одна фантастическая функция — это инструмент «Симметрия». При активированной симметрии ваш дизайн отражается на противоположной стороне холста.
Чтобы получить доступ к настройкам симметрии, откройте панель «Действия» и в меню холста включите переключатель с надписью «Направляющие». Нажмите «Правка Направляющие».
Настройка симметрии в Procreate
Далее выберете «Опции».
Опции симметрии в Procreate
Вы можете выбрать вертикальную, горизонтальную, квадрантную или радиальную симметрию. Нажмите «Готово», чтобы вернуться на холст.
Опции направляющих в Procreate
Вы можете отключить настройки симметрии, коснувшись миниатюры слоя и выключив «Рисование с привязкой».

5. Быстрые формы
Одним из недостатков для иллюстраций в Procreate всегда было отсутствие инструментов форм. Если вы хотели использовать круг, прямоугольник или треугольник, вам нужно было нарисовать его в другом приложении, а затем импортировать обратно в Procreate.
Но те времена остались в прошлом.
Сейчас вам достаточно нарисовать контур фигуры и задержаться на месте, когда закроете контур. Сверху необходимо нажать править фигуру и выбрать нужное значение из списка.
Как править фигуры в Procreate
Вы также можете рисовать идеально прямые линии, удерживая стилус в конце штриха.
Правильная фигура в Procreate
6. Переключатель кисти и ластика
Если вы удерживаете ластик в верхнем меню на пару секунд, он поменяет кисть на текущую, которую вы используете для рисования (и наоборот). Очень простой, но действенный совет!
Вы можете переключаться между рисованием и стиранием, чтобы получить интересные результаты текстуры.

7. Альфа-блокировка для изменения цвета
Часто нам нужно изменить направление цветовой палитры на полпути к готовой иллюстрации. В этих ситуациях полезна функция Alpha Lock, позволяющая перекрашивать отдельные слои. Коснитесь миниатюры слоя и выберите «Альфа-блокировка» (или проведите двумя пальцами вправо). Теперь это блокирует слой. Затем снова коснитесь своего слоя и выберите «Залить слой».
Вы также можете использовать эту функцию для рисования текстуры на слое.

How to Use the Symmetry Tools in Procreate
The symmetry features in Procreate make it so easy to achieve perfect mirroring and cohesiveness in your art. No more worrying about drawing one eye that looks like the other. Simply turn on the symmetry and you’re all set.
To use symmetry in Procreate, turn on the drawing guide and click the tab to edit it. Click on the symmetry option and choose whether you want vertical, horizontal, quadrant, or radial symmetry. Use the blue dot to move the symmetry line around your canvas, and the green dot to rotate it.
There are a lot of different ways that you can do symmetry in Procreate, so it’s important to look at all of the options. Let’s walk through all of them, and you’ll be well on your way to mirrored drawing, symmetrical mastery.
How to Turn on the Symmetry Feature in Procreate
Procreate’s symmetry tools are part of the Drawing Guide. Open the Actions tab and click on Canvas. Toggled the Drawing Guide on, then click on the Edit Drawing Guide button. Select the Symmetry option on the far right, and choose between vertical, horizontal, quadrant, or radial symmetry.
Let’s walk through that step-by-step:
1. Click on the wrench to open the Actions tab

3. Toggle the Drawing Guide on
4. Click on the Edit Drawing Guide button
5. In the Drawing Guide settings, click on the Symmetry button on the far right
6. Use the sliders to adjust the opacity and thickness of your symmetry line
7. Use the color slider at the top to adjust the color of your symmetry line
8. Click on Options on the far left and choose between Vertical, Horizontal, Quadrant, and Radial (we’ll walk through each of these down below)
9. Decide if you want to use Rotational Symmetry (again, we’ll talk about this later on)
10. Toggle on Assisted Drawing
11. Adjust the positioning of your symmetry line, if needed. The green dot rotates it, while the blue dot moves it across your canvas
12. Click Done and start drawing
Now that we’ve gone through the basics of doing symmetry with Procreate, let’s dive into each of the symmetry options so that you can have the most control over it.
How to Adjust the Color, Thickness, and Opacity of your Procreate Symmetry Line
The thickness and opacity of your Procreate symmetry line can be adjusted with the sliders that appear at the bottom of your screen once you click on the Symmetry option. To adjust the color of your symmetry line, use the color slider that appears at the top of your screen once you click on the Symmetry option.
All of these options will impact how prominent your symmetry line will be.
Recommended Procreate Tools
These are my favorite Procreate tools that I wouldn’t be able to live my Procreate life without!
Now let’s get back to the article!
You want to find a balance between having a line that you can barely see, and one that distracts you from your work. This will depend on how detailed your work is and what color you’ve chosen for a background.
Personally, I like my symmetry line to be prominent so that I can see it clearly. I usually ramp up the thickness and opacity, and make it a contrasting color to my background.
The Importance of Procreate’s Symmetry Assisted Drawing Setting
Within the Procreate Symmetry settings, make sure to click on Options and toggle on the Assisted Drawing. If you don’t, the symmetry won’t work. You can also turn on the Assisted Drawing by opening up the layers tab, clicking on your desired layer, and choosing Assisted Drawing from the dropdown.
This is really important.
It can be easy to accidentally turn the Assisted Drawing off, and wonder why the symmetry feature isn’t working.
When you’re initially setting up the symmetry settings, simply make sure it’s toggled on under the Options tab.
Once you’re working on your piece of art, use the Layers tab to switch it off and on as needed. Simply open up all of your layers, and click on the layer that you want. From the dropdown menu, simply toggle the Assisted Drawing option on or off.
You’ll be able to tell which layers have Assisted Drawing enabled by looking at the thumbnails of your layers. If Assisted Drawing is turned on, you’ll see a little label underneath it that says “Assisted.”
How to Move Your Symmetry Line in Procreate
Even though Procreate has default positions for the symmetry line, you can customize it depending on the positioning you need for your specific piece of art. Use the green dot at the end of the symmetry line to rotate it, and use the blue dot in the middle of the symmetry line to move it.
Later on, we’ll discuss the different symmetry line options (vertical, horizontal, quadrant, and radial). These will determine where Procreate will place your symmetry line, by default. That said, you can easily move the symmetry line depending on your needs.
How to Use Create Mirrored Drawing in Procreate
By default, Procreate’s symmetry tools use mirror symmetry, which means that your drawing will be mirrored across your canvas. Using Procreate’s vertical or horizontal symmetry options will give you a result that looks most traditionally mirrored.
If you want to create a mirrored drawing in Procreate, you’re in luck. All you have to do is turn on Procreate’s symmetry feature.
Resist the urge to toggle on the Rotational Symmetry option, which we’ll talk about next, and you’ll be good to go!
By default, Procreate uses mirroring for it’s symmetry, so you can quickly create mirrored drawings just by turning on the symmetry tool.
How to Use Procreate’s Rotational Symmetry
Within the Procreate Symmetry settings, click on the Options tab, and toggle on Rotational Symmetry. With this option turned on, all of your drawings will be backwards and upside down. Instead of simply mirroring them, Rotational Symmetry reflects them and rotates them.
Procreate’s default symmetry settings utilize mirroring. This means that whatever is drawn on one side of your symmetry line will be mirrored on the other.
When you turn on Rotational Symmetry, Procreate does some additional gymnastics with your drawings. Instead of simply mirroring them, they will reflect and rotate them, both horizontally and vertically. As I see it, everything is backwards and upside down.
Due to the horizontal reflection and rotation, your drawings turn out backwards.
Due to the vertical reflection and rotation, your drawings will be positioned diagonally from each other. For example, if you draw something at the top of your screen, the symmetrical copy will appear at the bottom of your screen.
Rotational Symmetry can be really fun to play around with, depending on the effects you’re going for.
Those are all of the general Symmetry settings that you’ll want to keep in mind. Now, let’s dive into the differences between the vertical, horizontal, quadrant, and radial symmetry options.
But first, let’s take a really important detour to talk about Skillshare. When I opened Procreate for the very first time, the next thing I did was turn on a Skillshare class. Skillshare has been my tried and true guide from the beginning of my Procreate journey, and it’s still something I rely on today.
They have a TON of amazing Procreate classes that will take your Procreate skills to the next level. No doubt. I mean, they did for me! Luckily, you can try Skillshare at no cost. They have a generous free trial that gives you unlimited access to all of their classes. Just binge a ton of Procreate classes and take your skills to the next level!
How to Use Vertical Symmetry within Procreate
Procreate’s Vertical Symmetry option will place a symmetry line down the middle of your canvas in a vertical position. Anything you draw on the left hand side of it will be reflected on the right, and vice versa. Enable this option by clicking on the Options tab within the Symmetry settings.
Vertical symmetry is great for drawing faces, houses, or anything that looks the same on both sides. Instead of drawing one side at a time, turn on your vertical symmetry in order to draw both sides at the same time.
Not only will this ensure that both sides of your drawing match, it will also speed up your drawing time. No more wasting time trying to manually make both sides of your drawings match. Just think – both eyes will be the same! It’s like a miracle, isn’t it? I swear, making both eyes of a face match has always been my Achilles heel.
It can also be neat to use for drawing mandalas.
Pro tip: if you move your symmetry line (rotate it with the green dot or reposition it with the blue dot), don’t worry about trying to put it back to how it originally was. Simply click on one of the other symmetry options (horizontal, quadrant, and radial), and then click on vertical again. This will reposition your line back to the default, vertical position.
How to Use Horizontal Symmetry within Procreate
Procreate’s Horizontal Symmetry option will place a symmetry line across the middle of your canvas in a horizontal position. Anything you draw on the bottom side of it will be mirrored on the top, and vice versa. Enable this option by clicking on the Options tab within the Symmetry settings.
The horizontal symmetry option is the same as the vertical…just horizontal. They function in the same way though. Use this option if you want a perfectly horizontal line that perfectly divides your canvas into equal sections on the top and bottom.
How to Use Quadrant Symmetry within Procreate
Procreate’s Quadrant Symmetry option will place two symmetry lines on your canvas, one vertical and one horizontal. Anything you draw in any one of the quadrants will be reflected in the other three quadrants. Enable this option by clicking on the Options tab within the Symmetry settings.
Personally, I like to use quadrant symmetry to make fun and unique patterns. It’s an interesting way to bring symmetry into your work, but not in an overly obvious way. The result is usually something that looks intricate, but was actually simple to create.
You can use the green dot to rotate the quadrants, and the blue dot to move them across their screen. You CAN’T add additional symmetry lines, or space them differently. They will always be equally spaced.
How to Use Radial Symmetry within Procreate
Procreate’s Radial Symmetry option will place four symmetry lines on your canvas, one vertical, one horizontal, and two diagonal. Anything you draw in any of the segments will be mirrored in the other seven quadrants. Enable this option by clicking on the Options tab within the Symmetry settings.
If you liked making patterns with the quadrant symmetry, you’ll REALLY love making patterns with the radial symmetry.
When you use radial symmetry, you’ll have eight different quadrants on your screen. That means that anything you draw in one segment will be mirrored seven different times across your canvas.
Talk about a really simple way to make a drawing that looks really complicated.
It’s also really relaxing. Sometimes, I’ll turn on the radial symmetry just to do some stress-free drawing. Give it a try and see what types of patterns you can come up with.
The radial symmetry option is also a really great way to make a quick kaleidoscope or mandala in Procreate. If you get creative, there are SO many things you can do with this neat symmetry feature.
You can use the green dot to rotate the eight segments, and the blue dot to move them across their screen. But, similar to the quadrant symmetry, you CAN’T change the number of symmetry lines available, or how they are spaced. They will always be equally spaced.
How to Turn Off Symmetry in Procreate
To turn off the symmetry settings in Procreate, click on the wrench to open the Actions tab, and then click on Canvas. Turn off the toggle for the Drawing Guide. Next, open the Layers panel and click on the layer in question. In the dropdown, make sure that Assisted Drawing is turned off.
It’s really easy to accidentally keep the symmetry settings on without realizing it.
And, the symmetry settings are different from all of the other Drawing Guides. Unlike the others, you can’t turn it off just by disabling the Drawing Guides within the Actions menu. To turn off symmetry, it’s a two-step process.
This can be confusing and frustrating because, when you toggle off the Drawing Guide, the symmetry line will disappear. But, anything you draw will still be using the symmetry feature. This can make it seem like the Procreate symmetry tool won’t turn off.
That’s because the Assisted Drawing feature is still being applied to your layer.
In addition to toggling off the Drawing Guides, make sure to turn Assisted Drawing off in your Layers panel as well. If you don’t, the symmetry feature will still happen.
The same applies vice versa. If you toggle ON your Drawing Guide, but the symmetry feature isn’t working, make sure that Assisted Drawing is enabled on your layer. If it isn’t, you won’t be able to draw in symmetry.
Procreate Symmetry Options Aren’t Fully Customizable
If you’re wondering if you missed additional customization settings within Procreate’s symmetry options, you didn’t. At the moment, you can’t add additional symmetry lines aside from those included in their pre-set options. You also can’t position them individually either.
Like we talked about in the quadrant and radial symmetry options, you can’t add additional lines, or change the spacing of them. You can move them and rotate them, but you can’t change how many lines there are or how they are spaced.
In addition, within the vertical and horizontal settings, you can’t move or rotate your symmetry line to a specific angle or spot. You need to eyeball it. The only thing you can know for sure is that the vertical option is perfectly vertical and the horizontal option is perfectly horizontal. Both will split your canvas into equal pieces.
Once you adjust those symmetry lines manually, you won’t be able to know what angles or positions you’ve achieved.
This can be frustrating to Procreate users who want some more customizable options within the symmetry settings. Hopefully this will change in the future but, for now, we have to work with the symmetry options that are available.
Despite being able to fully customize the settings, Procreate’s symmetry tool is pretty darn impressive. It can give you a great way to add complexity to your drawings, increase your precision, and decrease the time you spend laboring over each stroke.
If you’re not sure how to dive in and get started, just have fun experimenting. Procreate’s symmetry tool is definitely a learn-by-doing type of feature. Play around with everything that it has to offer and see what you can create.
And, if you get stuck, jump on Skillshare and take a class to improve your Procreate skills and gather ideas. Whatever you do, have fun creating great, symmetrical art.
