Welcome to Day 4 of 20 Days of Procreate Play and today we’re unlocking one of the most powerful tools in digital art: layers.

Using playful mushroom shapes, you’ll learn how layers work in Procreate and why they make drawing more flexible, forgiving, and fun. This challenge walks you through creating, naming, reordering, and erasing layers so you can experiment freely without fear of ruining your work.

In today’s challenge, you’ll practice:

-Understanding layers as “digital tracing paper”
-Drawing different elements on separate layers
-Reordering layers to control what appears in front or behind
-Renaming layers to stay organized (without overthinking it)
-Using layers to erase, adjust, and experiment safely
-Managing layer limits based on canvas size and iPad type


🍄 Mushrooms are the perfect subject: organic, funky, and impossible to mess up.

✨ Want to go deeper into beginner-friendly Procreate workflows?
