How to set up procreate brushes, in view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and answers in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

You can select a brush and then set its 75 options. Mainly divided into 7 aspects (stroke, shape, grain, dynamic, pencil, general, source)

1. Stroke properties (stroke)

When you move your finger or pen tip across the screen, procreate uses many points for drawing strokes. This option consists of two modules: stroke attribute (stroke properties) and stroke taper (stroke taper)

A, stroke attributes are mainly divided into spacing, streamline, jitter, drop four options, mainly to control the line as a whole.

Spacing: spacing is the distance between each point. The larger the spacing, the greater the spacing in your brush. Adjust the spacing to the maximum so that you can clearly see the specific shape in your brush.

Streamline: streamline can make your line more stable and curve turning more accurate. The higher the value, the smoother the curve.

Jitter: jitter can be understood as the offset of each point in the line relative to the origin. Jitter is related to the distance of the shape of the brush, and each point of the curve will be offset (up and down). The smaller the value, the smoother the line, and the higher the value, the shape will be tiled until it exceeds the boundary.

Drop: affects the length of lines drawn by all brushes at one time. The higher the value, the shorter the length of the line that can be drawn. (it can be understood as intercepting the current brush, leaving only a part of the front end)

B, stroke taper

The stroke taper mainly adjusts the tip width and transparency of the brush. It is mainly divided into pressure taper (relative to pencil) and touch taper (relative to finger). Only the pressure taper is described here, and the touch taper option is the same as the pressure taper.

The pressure taper can be adjusted to the following options: quantity, size, opacity, pressure, tip, tip animation.

Quantity: there are two scroll bars, which can control the number of taper of the head and tail of the line. Click the link button to adjust the head and tail synchronously. (it can be understood here as the number of points on the line at the head and tail of the line. The more points, the thicker the thread.)

Size: adjust the thickness of the pen tip

Transparency: adjust the transparency of the pen tip

Pressure: adjust the pressure between pens. The greater the pressure, the thinner the tip of the pen.

Tip: the higher the value, the more round the pen tip

Cutting edge animation: this switch controls when the taper between pens is applied. The switch is off, which means that the pen leaves the canvas and the program processes the tail. When the switch is on, procreate will use pencil to predict the stop point of your painting and apply it.

2. Shape setting (shape setting)

A shape is equivalent to a seal, and the picture you choose in a stroke will be repeated in the line. You can also think of the edge as a container of particles. (in short, a shape is equivalent to a point in a line, which may be circular or various shapes.)

Shape is mainly divided into three modules to set: shape behavior, shape properties, and shape filtering.

A shape behavior

Scatter: when you are in the process of drawing a stroke, the scatter option can change the orientation of each shape in your brush. The higher the value, the brush will give a messy, rough feeling. The lower the value, the smoother the order. Spreading does not change the aspect of the brush.

Rotation: rotation selection affects the change of direction of each shape in your brush. The rotation options have three points: 100% reverse all (making the shape completely opposite to the direction in which you draw), rest (remain the same), and follow the stroke (in the same direction as you draw).

B shape attribute

Randomization: when off-the initial shape direction is based on the current starting direction. When on-each time the pen starts in a different direction.

Azimuth: when azimuth is used with a pen, the direction of the brush is the same. When turned on, when drawn from the same angle with apple pencil, the shape is the same.

C shape screening

None: turn off the filtering option and the picture will become angular and rough

Classic: imitating from earlier versions of procreate

Improved: optimize shape sawtooth

3. Particle setting (grain settings)

A particle behavior

Move: when set to a seal (move to 0%), the grain texture will not scroll, it will fill the texture. When set to scroll (move 100%), the particles will be tiled repeatedly. (actually, I don't quite understand. The function here can be understood by referring to texture > mesh Brush in procreate.)

Scale (percentage): resize the grain textur

Zoom (follow-up size): when set to follow-up size, the particles will be scaled synchronously with your brush size. When set to cropped, the particles will be locked and the particle size will not be scaled synchronously with the brush size. (it can be understood here to adjust the brush size, whether the particle size also changes synchronously)

Rotation (percentage): particle rotation is similar to particle movement, and this setting will fill the particles based on the brush direction. The rotating scroll bar has the following three main points. 100% inverse (invert all) / staic (fixed) / follow stroke (in the same direction) so that the direction of the particles and the brush are opposite / fixed / in the same direction.

B particle screening

None: disable filtering to sharpen the edges of particles.

Classic: imitate the earlier version of procreate

Improved: reduce the aliasing of brush particles to make it smooth.

4. Dynamic setting (dynamics settings)

A brush rendering

Each brush rendering option affects all the behavior of your brush, providing different dynamic settings.

Normal (no dynamic settings) glaze (when selected, your brush will be set to a certain transparency, you can adjust the transparency)

Accumulation: transparency accumulation

Process (Flow): control transparency

Wet mix (this mode makes your brush look like watercolor, and you can adjust the dilution through many settings.) the translation here is a little strange, why not build software to translate in this way. (using the translation of the software)

Dilution: adjust the depth of the color (like the watercolor pen, the color becomes lighter after dilution)

Payment (control) (Charge): control the transparency of the pen and the whole (here some friends say that the translation is not accurate, this piece uses the value displayed on the software, although personally feel strange, I think the word control can be used)

Attack (pressure touch) (Attack): related to pencil, mainly controls the relationship between pen pressure and transparency. (translated here is the same as above)

Drag length (pull): controls the transparency of the brush tail. High pull and low charge are similar to smearing.

Grade: controls the sharpness of brush edges

B opacity dynamics

Speed (opacity speed): transparency will depend on how fast you draw

Opacity jitter: controls the transparency of particles

C dimensional dynamics

Size speed: the size depends on the speed at which you draw.

Size jitter: controls the size of particles

5 、 pencil

Adjust the pencil according to your needs, and if you use a third-party pen, your tip pressure can also be adjusted for size and transparency. Only apple pencil can set the slope.

An apple pencil pressure

Size (pressure size): when set to 0, the brush will not change with the pen touch pressure, when set to the maximum value, the greater the pressure, the thicker the pen tip. When set to-100%, the greater the pressure, the thinner the pen tip.

Opacity: when set to 0, the brush will not change the pressure at random. When set to the maximum value, the greater the pressure, the higher the opacity, and when set to-100%, the greater the pressure, the higher the transparency.

Percolation (pressure bleed): percolation locates the pressure and is mainly used at the beginning of the brush. High osmotic flow means that the brush has less detail and affects lighter strokes. The brush details will increase the flow by increasing the brush pressure. (it means the greater the pressure, the heavier the color.)

Pressure softening: when set to 0, any pressure changes are not immediately displayed. Higher values will transition smoothly with brush pressure. It can be combined with a glazed pen brush to get a gradual change, and a smaller value will get a quick response when the pressure changes greatly.

You can also adjust the transparency and size of the brush through the right > button.

Linear: linear, initial setting, procreate will get the pressure transferred according to pencil.

Aggressive: increase your own pressure, suitable for touching people with less pressure.

Subtle: reduce the pressure response time, suitable for touching people with high pressure.

B apple pencil tilt

Angle: tilt angle. This slider bar controls the tilt of the pen when pencil draws. When the apple pencil is parallel to the ipad, it is 0 °and the vertical is 90 °.

Opacity: when transparency is not set, the brush will not change with the tilt angle of the pen. When set to maximum, transparency is maximum.

Gradient: mainly applied to the outer edge of the brush shape to gradually change the transparency.

Seepage: similar to pressure seepage, one is based on pressure and the other is based on pen tip angle.

Size: when the size is set to empty, the brush does not change according to the angle. When set to the maximum value, pencil will make the brush size larger.

Size compression: size compression will mimic the behavior of traditional pencils for size compression. (I don't understand this very well)

6. General settings

Sets the characteristics of the brush, which will be applied to all modules of the brush.

A Brush Properties

Brush name: sets the brush name directly.

Use Stamp Preview: when set to on, Seal Preview will make your brush preview as a brush shape source file. Using a stamp preview is useful when the particles are not the exact part of a brush.

Preview: resizes the brush preview.

B Brush behavior

Adapt to the screen: when set to on, the brush will face the same as the ipad screen (landscape or vertical)

Classic Taper: turn on this switch and the traditional taper will be applied from previous versions of procreate. I don't understand here. -)

Blending mode: this mode allows different effects to be applied in the same mode (linear deepening, color deepening, etc.)

Brightness bend: when turned on, use the brightest color when bending.

Smear: similar to the pull in wet-mix mode, but only when the brush is applied to the smear tool.

C size limit

Maximum: sets the maximum size that the brush can reach. Initially, all brushes can reach 100% radius. If a brush has a large spacing, the maximum size can be up to 16 times. Large spacing allows large-size brushes if necessary. (you can refer to procreate's Blizzard brush here)

Minimum: the minimum spacing allowed for brushes.

D opacity limit

Maximum: the maximum value determines the maximum transparency that can be achieved by the brush.

Minimum: the minimum transparency allowed by the brush.

7. Source

This tab contains the source image that creates the brush base. One image is the shape of the brush, one is the particle of the brush, and you can change the brush source file according to your preferences.
