Today's the last day of May, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in May, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Yeah, I am stuck only doing very basic things in Procreate due to not taking the time to go over a detailed tutorial about using it. Typical for me! I like the peacock!fox a lot!

Oh man, you and me both.

The two things I discovered today by Googling (although I bet you know them already!) are:

(a) you can alpha-lock a layer in Procreate by tapping on the layer in the drop-down and selecting "alpha-lock." However, there is no way to, like, lock lock a layer. D: As someone who is prone to drawing on the wrong layer, I find this...unfortunate.

(b) to draw a straight line, draw a regular old wobbly line, then hold the endpoint with your Pencil or whatever, and the line will "snap" straight. I just tried this tonight and it's pretty cool. The place I found this information from claims there's no automatic way to draw a circle or ellipse, though.

And thank you!
