Are they really that important? Like what do they even do?

You can idk, put a drawing behind or above another drawing

Huh?

Like, imagine a drawing of a face on a layer, which you can change it's opacity and also make it invisible. Now, you want do draw something OVER that face without erasing anything of it. So you create a new layer to draw that, without modifing the previous drawing, and you can also change the opacity of that layer. And now you have two independent drawings, in the same place, on the same drawing canvas!

Something like this

WTF-

yeah

I mean, that's how i do it, but it's usually more simple

Yes all this fuken time I’ve been cooking in a single f**king layer for EVERYTHING in my drawings

Same

All three of you need to get ibis paint. You're missing out.

i rather stay with kleki, thanks

Why?

easy

Ibis is easy too, that's why I was able to switch to it from flipaclip so easily

Ibis and kleki on the same rung of the ladder 😭😭😭

Check my profile rude ass
I changed my name

Yippeeee

True

I have too

Holy-
Well, usually I have outline, color, and shading layers, adding to that the sketch layers.

MIGHT sounds overkill, but hear me out :
Step 1 : draw sketch of the character. Aka his anatomy. You can out as much circles, spcheck and cross you want. You wanna have a global idea on what you do.
Step 2 : make the stetck transparent and do the REAL outline. There it's clean and coherent.
Step 3 : Color it on another layer, so your outline doesn't mix weirdly with the color.
Step 4 : Shade it however you want. If you use Add or Multiply, you WILL need new layers.

Ofc if you're doing silly sketch you don't need allat, just put it on one layer 🙏

Uhhhhhhhhhh

I can send you an example of my art with those steps, may be more clear

There, simple drawing, 5 layers

OH

Check final result

Final result :

Me fr

Since I'm miles better on mouse I just use magma if I really want layerz on my shit
Layers are the best invention. Ever. No more drawing over your lines. Or, if you so choose, make lines then draw over them. It just makes shading and stuff like coloring a dream
Ok glaze over

My man, layers are hella useful
In a nutshell, they let you add, edit, or remove a specific part of the thing you're making

Think of it like making a drawing with different parts of the whole drawing on different pages, except you can see what's on below pages perfectly

whaaaaaaat

As someone who draws pretty complex art in Sketchbook, I find the layers to be an absolute godsend

Also it hurts me to my very soul hearing that you're not using them

Huh

?

It makes things simpler
For example I use one layer for lineart and I use another for clothing or color

HUH? so u dont just add everything in same place?

Alr here’s image and the layers I used for it

What
The
Fuk

Nope! Lemme try and find a drawing I got with some layers

?

Yes

but like y, what theydo

What

Wdym what

YOU DON'T USS LAYERS??????????

Uhh no? Is that bad?

Dude layers help so much. If i gotta erase something but not something else, I can do it with ease with layers

No way, rlly?

Ye
