Procreate offers several methods for adding solid colors to defined areas. These range from simple tap-and-fill techniques using the ColorDrop tool to more complex selections utilizing tools like the Selection tool and QuickShape. For instance, a user might draw a circle with the QuickShape tool and then tap inside it with the ColorDrop tool set to a chosen hue, instantly filling the circle with that color.
Efficient color application is fundamental to digital art creation. This accelerates workflows and allows artists to focus on creative expression rather than tedious manual coloring. Procreate’s diverse filling options cater to a wide range of artistic needs, from quick color blocking in sketches to intricate detailing in finished illustrations. The evolution of these tools has mirrored the growing sophistication of digital art, moving from rudimentary fill buckets to nuanced selection-based techniques.
