Once you have made your settings and ready to start your drawing press “Done” (In the upper right-hand corner) Moving to the bottom of the screen we can see 4 settings (Opacity, Thickness, Grid size and Assisted Drawing). The first setting is the color bar at the top which changes the color of the grid lines. You will notice additional settings for the 2D Grid drawing guide. You will see 4 drawing guide options at the bottom of your screen.

Open the “Edit Drawing Guide” options panel. The second way is to use the grid and assisted drawing to draw structured shapes. The first is to use the grid to help with placement and spacing on the canvas.

To select the type of guide you want to use tap on the “Edit Drawing Guide” option. Open your canvas and locate the Actions Panel (Wrench icon in the upper left corner), Select the “Canvas” tab, and toggle the “Drawing Guide” option. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the square canvas (1800 x 1800px) provided by Procreate. We will also be using the Procreate Ball Point Pen brush available in the Plus hub.
