![]() To rotate your line or shape in a precise 15-degree increment, place a second finger on the canvas while dragging it. Keep holding, and now drag to adjust the scale and rotation of your shape or line. To do so, after drawing your shale or line, don’t lift your finger from the canvas. You can easily scale or rotate the line or shape you created. To scale uniformly, drag the line or shape itself. ![]() Drag a node (blue dot) to adjust that part of your shape. This will only work immediately after you release the line or shape, if you draw something else you won’t be able to go back and edit it anymore.

If you decide to go with “Draw and hold”, then to start using QuickShape in Procreate, just draw a line or shape, and keep your finger or Apple Pencil held on the canvas. It is also a very natural way to invoke QuickShape because you are already drawing, and holding your pencil for just one second is easy and efficient. I like “Draw and hold” because this gesture is unique to the QuickShape tool, meaning that other Procreate tools won’t have this gesture as an option. You will see a few gesture options, choose the one that works for you, but I usually suggest going with the “Draw and hold” gesture. This will create a separate vector for each element in your TIFF drawing from Procreate into just one layer.
