Manual half drop repeats slowing you down?

On Day 14 of 20 Days of Procreate Play, we’re learning how to build custom pattern actions in Procreate to create faster, more reliable half drop repeats without snapping errors or hitting your layer limit.

Instead of duplicating and dragging layers over and over, you’ll create reusable saved selections that transform your pattern with precision every time.

This method is:
✔️ Faster
✔️ More accurate
✔️ Layer-efficient
✔️ Reusable for future patterns

If you’ve struggled with misaligned repeats or messy layer stacks, this workflow will completely change how you build half drop patterns in Procreate.
