The top-right panel: painting tools
The top right-hand side of the canvas interface has a row of tools, as shown in the following figure, which you will be using for painting.
Figure 3.1: Painting tools
This section has the Paint, Smudge, and Erase tools, along with Layers and Colour. Let’s look at them one by one.
Paint
The brush-shaped icon, also called Paint, is the tool you will be using to draw. Unlike most illustration software, Procreate doesn’t crowd your screen space with separate buttons for each brush. Tapping on the Paint tool again while it’s already selected will open up Brush Library, as shown in the following figure. From here, you can go on to choose the brush you want.
Figure 3.2: The Brush Library pop-over
We will discuss the Brush Library and Brush Studio in detail in Chapter 8, Painting Tools and the Brush Library – Using and Organizing Brushes.
