Brush smoothing on procreate is in each individual brush setting and is called streamline. If that was mentioned, I missed it. Sorry.

[@setton8]

I was looking for this info, thank you 😊

[@ch3ls3ab0t6]

@@setton8 glad to help!

[@starallie77]

It wasn't, thank you!

[@Aisha_Luv]

Yeah, i prefer the way procreate does it, cos i can have a separate brush for colouring, so i dont have to keep changing the streamline.

[@fierynachos9688]

Actually there are two different things in procreate one is streamline and the other is called smoothing. Streamline helps with wobbly-ness and smoothing helps with the pressure changes looking more coherent. Streamline is in the “stroke path” setting and smoothing is in “Apple Pencil” (I’m going to assume it only works for the Apple Pencil-) however, yes what the video refers to as smoothing is called streamline in procreate (it’s so confusing Q_Q)

I use an art program called Krita, it's just photoshop, but only the art aspects of it (+ it's free) You can press Ctrl>B for the color slider, and the stabilizer for line art is in the brushes option. I recommend weighted or stabilized for longer lines 10/10 would recommend Ctrl>G to create a mask layer M to flip the canvas

[@MissMissyArt]

Omgs thank you I had no idea how to find the stabilizer 😭

oh i love krita its easy to use at least for me. also thank you for this!

[@Naarii14]

@@MissMissyArt you can change the stabilizer in the tool options of the brush tool (B on the keyboard) but theres also a dynamic brush too that looks like a curved arrow with a dot in the center that allows you to draw with some weight on it. Try it out!

Oh my god Krita is godsent. I've been using it for years and I can't imagine paying for photoshop.

Title: Improve your Digital Art. THUMBNAIL: **_Find the difference_**

[@none3160]

Im looking at the thumbnal The nose! 3

[@LittleNatNix]

In the thumbnail the lineart varies (line weight) and the left one there’s only soft shadows while in the right one there’s both hard and soft shadows to make it look less messy and more realistic

[@cats11111]

They differ, and by a lot lel

[@KarmaandHyemisLife]

TIP: When colouring make a new layer on top of it and put it on clipping mask! It will make it way easier to colour! Also thank you so much for the Tips they really helped :3

[@MadAliceInWonderland]

I usually create a new layer under the line art, select the background with wand, invert selection, and then color the area gray and lock the layer. Since clipping masks are kinda complicated in Krita.

[@tarot1361]

The app I use doesn't have clipping masks. I wanna use them but I'm too dumb to use any other program lmao.

[@sincerallie]

same, i could see mine was wrong just didn’t know how to improve it until now

[@Lunarkyoz]

It’s not wrong! You can’t do art wrong (unless u are in an art school) If that’s how you like to render, then that’s YOUR preference,,,and with time, you’ll find your style, Both drawing and coloring :)

[@elliebellie6998]

To make lines smoother on Sketchbook, turn on predictive stroke. The higher the number the straighter your lines are

[@jackgrayson730]

Thank you so much for sharing my class!! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it, and I really really appreciate you recommending it!! 🙌🏻✨😁

[@Testudio]

Some experiences take years. It is good that we are sharing our experiences to help others.👏

[@atouuu]

Quick tip for AutoDesk Sketchbook users: Apart from the Stroke stabilizer, which in the program is called predictive stroke, there is also a similar tool called steady stroke. I have used a non-screen and screen tablet with the program on windows and either way it works just as well. I actually worried bat one point that I couldn't use it just because of my tablet but it works well on any device.

[@atlas9852]

Shading is something I can never get right, this really honestly did help. I'm glad there's people like you making our lives a little bit easier. Thankyou so much :D

[@rawtyn]

I'm SO glad you added medibang as an option for showing where smoothing is 🥺 I just ordered my first art tablet, screenless, and it's coming in 5 days and I used medibang as my first art program! Switched to iPad and procreate and I did not like procreate :( sooo I'm switching to computer! :)

[@kziad]

Who else is happy she finaly made a new video

[@babyreaper2192]

This video was beyond helpful. I’ve been struggling with shading especially since my colors always end up so blurred together. Now I know I need to chill out on using the color dropper and don’t be afraid to use some semi solid lines

If you’re on procreate: select the brush you want “smoothed”, go to “streamline” and put up the setting to your liking. I promise you’ll never have wobbly lines.

[@LordWhatever]

As an oldtimer illustrator (traditional art school) I decided to get more skillfull on digital medium. To be honest it was a bit hard at first because I was trying by myself and learning "tips & bits" from friends and my younger art students. Later from KZbin where I did really started to see a faster progress in my digital skills. Have to say that your channel its truly one of my favorites. Your art is really great and very similar to what I want as a final result in my artwork. You don't pretend to know it all and your advice might be simple but truly useful. Thanks for taking your time putting up these videos. Until your next video. Cheers from Puerto Rico.

[@victorthecollector9198]

8:28 I feel like that specific drawing and shading style make for a bad example of this problem because it looks kinda neat lol. The places where it shows the most how bad they really look are with really bright and/or pastel colors and soft shading; like when you use the black airbrush to shade yellow and it looks yucky y'know?

what i like to do with my shading is make hard shading layer, duplicate it and on the duplicated layer i use the blend tool (in clipstudio paint pro) ajust the layers' opacity until i feel it looks nice, I use multiply, NOTE i usually use Ctrl + U to change the colour of the shading layers till it looks like the effect im going for, i have really bad art blok right now so im not drawing as much, so dont be afraid to take a break!

lately i've been getting really discouraged about digital art, you know.. i always have a lot of sketching ideas and i can put it anywhere, i can work well with sketches and line art, i'm very excited when i start to draw something but when i'm going to paint, even knowing how to use the layers, ugh, IT'S TERRIBLE, no matter how many times I try, I can't finish it cause I didn't know how to do it, even if I look at examples, videos, shadow and light tutorials, even if I search for good colors for use, IT ALWAYS IS VERY BAD, I don't understand and it makes me tired, in the end I'm just accumulating unfinished sketchs, I don't know how to try to make it work anymore kkkkk 😅😰 love ur arts

[@thecryingcat9298]

@ Mariana Vitoria try starting over from square one, take a break, choose a different color palate, make sure to check your color values, and be sure to acknowledge your mistakes, sometimes its ok to move on.

[@acidpixie8428]

if you use INFINITE PAINTER: "smooth" is in the individual brush settings :)

[@Mariam23462]

I personalet like making my lineart a little sketchy for most of my art i also really renomme d playing around with the Layer settings i as an example Add blush or pinks color to the face and then often put it on color Dodge or any other type of Layer setting that looks good ✨

[@RedQuill13]

if you do what i do and have your shading/highlight layers separate from one another and from the base color, in paint tool sai you can actually change the hue of that entire layer and then you will be able to effect the atmosphere of the shades and highlights without needing to go back over them unless you are going for a different look.

I don't recommend using the stabilization tool. Rather learn line work and stuff; it's not cheating but it will hold back your learning process.

[@tokidoke2794]

i actually dont agree because a tablet is way smoother than paper so a stabilizer makes it feel more heavy and rough, just like paper.
