Animations
schu_wolf
I love this sooooo much. It would be very nice if u guys add a bit more to the animation program on the iPhone so we don’t rlly need an iPad to do it. Maybe in the future procreate can add music. It will also be amazing if there is a feature that if u choose an colour on a layer and u can only draw on that colour bc sometimes I’m afraid that I will miss some places that are in the drawing. That’s what I think of it. It’s amazing it’s cool. Keep on up this app will be a legend one day.

Hey schu_wolf - Thank you for your suggestions, we will keep them in mind for future developments. You may like to have a read of the handbook(https://books.apple.com/au/book/procreate-pocket-handbook/id1198136785) and consider using Clipping Mask or Alpha lock to limit the areas that you can draw. Although Animation currently it is not available in Procreate Pocket, but we would love to introduce it soon. You can still achieve animation in Procreate Pocket by thinking of layers as frames in an animation. Each layer counts as a frame when you later export it as an Animated GIF, Animated PNG or Animated MP4. If you would like to work with multiple layers for one frame you can use layer groups to achieve this.
This update has compatibility for the newest devices and 25 new fonts for customising your text, including brand new choices for Arabic, Hindi, Thai, and Japanese.
The fonts Eina and Jack Armstrong BB are no longer available, but you can continue to edit your image layers, or rasterise your text layer to keep your exact design. You can also choose to replace these fonts with a similar option.
Did you know you can import your own fonts into Procreate Pocket? Tap the + button on the text Edit Style keyboard, drag and drop, or place them into your On My iPhone → Pocket → Fonts folder.
