How to create a brush in Procreate?

Starting to create your own custom brush is an exciting adventure in Procreate. The tool allows you to explore and customize with endless possibilities for digital graphic design. Here I guide you step-by-step to develop a unique brush that will bring your creations to life.

What is the brush studio in Procreate?

The functionality of the brush studio is essential to develop a brush from scratch, each component is designed so that you can sculpt a brush according to your creative needs:

• Drawing panel: space where brush tests are performed.
• Central properties section: Allows detailed adjustments to the way your brush works.
• Brush attributes: Settings related to pressure, opacity and flow.

How to configure Apple Pencil attributes?

Efficient use of the Apple Pencil amplifies the creative possibilities of Procreate:

• Pressure: Modify the size of the stroke according to the intensity of the touch.
• Opacity: Controlling color flow and transparency improves visual quality.
• Tilt: Simulation of a real pencil, depending on the angle it impacts the stroke.

What are the main properties of the brush?

The properties of the brush define its personality and are crucial for specific results:

• Maximum and minimum size: Help maximize or minimize strokes.
• Opacity: Control how visible or transparent a stroke is.

How important is the stroke path?

The path modifies the lines and the fluidity of the brush:

• Spacing: Determines the distance and regularity of the stroke points.
• Streamline: Smoothes the lines to avoid shaky strokes.
• Variation and Fade: Adjusts the distance and length of the stroke.

How to modify the shape and grain of the brush?

The initial brush shape is the basis of your design and can be redefined to change its visual effect:

• Brush Shape: From round brushes to imported custom shapes, each option significantly modifies the final appearance.
• Grain: Texturizes strokes by adding depth. Configure the display and interaction of the grain with the stroke.

Advanced Rendering Techniques and Color Dynamics

Explore brush rendering and coloring options for impressive results:

• Rendering: different types of glaze and pressure-based color overlay.
• Wet blending: Perfect for painting effects and color blending.
• Zoom and grain filtering: Adjust how textures are displayed at different scales.

How to export and share brushes?

Once your custom brush is complete, exporting it allows you to use it on other devices and share your creations:

• You can save, duplicate or share brushes directly from Procreate, facilitating collaboration and distribution.

Innovations with dual brushes

Procreate offers the exciting option of combining brushes:

• Create dual brushes: merge the properties of two brushes for unique textures and behaviors. Select a primary and a secondary brush, and experiment with the result.

Explore each option, play with properties, and discover the creative capabilities that Procreate offers. As you progress, share your results and contribute to the community by inspiring other creatives.
