What’s Coming in Procreate 5.4? Big News for Brush Lovers!

[@jsth2breethe]

The one feature I’ve always wanted was for the canvas to store a log of what brushes were used. Because if I go back to something I haven’t worked for a while, I never remember which brushes I used.

[@lenacamacho]

Really true we need that

[@ashleygreen127]

Thissss

[@WormBabyZ]

YESSSSSSSsss

[@evelynwald9132]

Oh that would be nice. If I remember, I make one layer where I write down the name of my brush and a sample of the stroke.

[@musicafteroldage]

Best $9.99 I've spent - ever!

[@BardotBrush]

FOR REAL!! Literal life-changing 10 bucks.

[@donpayne1040]

that was a good £10

[@ABlackGuyAdept]

I don't even have an iPad but I bought it when I heard they were increasing the price. I plan on getting one eventually so though.

[@owlsonik37]

Agreed!

[@dotstermfs]

I'll second that!

[@mauricioflores3732]

They are also bringing more layers for all iPads 😊💪🏻

[@har3drewxkait749]

When? And Where is it mentioned? Can u explain?

[@chrisrcowley]

Thank god

[@Crick2x9]

Kyle joining the procreate team is HUGE!!!

[@larryiscreating]

I had a feeling he would be doing big things with them😊

[@nghia3256]

i think it’s a sign that they are working on procreate desktop

[@kyletwebster]

❤

[@amandarodriguez1752]

He's legendary

[@rockon8174]

​@@nghia3256 not likely. ProCreate is Apple exclusive. They get incentives to be Apple exclusive.

[@KTCoope]

Kyle was one of the main things keeping me on Photoshop for colouring, I’m so hyped he’s joined Procreate

[@BardotBrush]

Me too, it’s a huge deal!

[@Hannah_from_iterationscrafts]

AAHHH!! Brush organization!! Finally!! This is the one thing I’ve always wanted most out of every update. I am SO excited!

[@stilted]

Yes!!! I have too many sets (I think of buying new sets partially as tipping artists, lol, so I have a ton).

[@BardotBrush]

Truly can not wait!

[@orcsmash9]

Finally!

[@Crick2x9]

Finally. I can have my favorites collection

[@hippopotamusbosch]

Wow. Kyle is leaving Adobe for Procreate. Could this signal vector drawing tools or a whole new app from Procreate?

[@alpha8here]

That would be do dope! It would be nice if you could use any brush as a Vector and also include Vector Trimming, like in Toon Boom and Clip Studio Paint 😊

[@leothaking3007]

I am for this!! ❤❤

[@sebaszwarc]

Maybe that would finally give us good vector app without AI shit and forcing us to use company’s cloud

[@Sparklove1]

This would be fantastic!

[@DafSpi]

I’d love to have vector tools for Procreate! It allows you to alter line work without affecting the resolution and it’s a big feature Procreate is still missing.

[@sprboston]

Next…font organization, please. The type is soo small and difficult so see what it looks like for those handmade fonts you’ve purchased. Maybe also a search font option? Thanks for the update!

[@BardotBrush]

I agree, the font interface is pretty hard to work with.

[@xenacard]

I agree wholeheartedly…it’s waaaay to small to see and use for all my downloaded fonts. I hope this would be a welcome change in the new update 🤞🏻

[@chami1603]

I hope they also implement some kind of stack management/organization system like folders maybe 😅 really happy about all the brush new stuff tho!!!

[@dcrbdh]

ugh, I'd kill for a decent magic wand tool. But the brush organization is a welcome change.

[@nanizzarivera]

Brush search is what I was hoping they had before! Thank you Procreate for finally installing this feature!❤

[@sarahhinde9398]

Finally, a search option!! 🎉 I have just spent HOURS over the last 2 days going through my brush library and hand writing a list of all my brush packs. I have deleted 25GB of duplicate and triplicate brush packs just out of Procreate!!! The reason I wrote each one out by hand was so I can go into my files and cross reference them easily to see what I could delete from there as I need to free up space. I haven’t had the time yet. I wasn’t expecting the initial exercise to take 2 days!! I know I have a LOT of brushes. And cataloguing is a mess, but I didn’t realise it was 25GB wastes space bad! This new update is going to be a game changer! 🥳

[@ataleof_art]

So grateful for more brush organization! Definitely something I need and have been a bit frustrated about at times. Now more layers at larger file sizes and I‘m a happy camper. 😊

[@amandaarts3277]

Yay! I’ve been wanting more brush organization for years!

[@BardotBrush]

Me too!!

[@BLUEMOONENTERPRISES]

Sounds promising. But even more important is iCloud sync of Procreate files. Any idea when that might finally happen?

[@BardotBrush]

I know that's something they are working on for the next major update after this one! Fingers crossed sometime next year.

[@MrM0D3RNW4Rf4R3]

I lost Most of my Projects because this isnt a thing yet

[@DarylNotDead]

I hope the iCloud backup means I can share my brushes between procreate pocket and iPad procreate. I love this app

[@cblarkey]

Been WANTING a Brush Library with search for a loooong time! so excited!

[@patriciacoveney1]

So pleased about the new features , at last a much requested development for the original app, that does not appear to be dependant on having the latest Apple technology. I hope the search feature will be able to recognise partially remembered or misspelled brush names.Thank you Lisa for the early heads up.

[@samanthatroulis]

I went, “thank god,” when she said “brush search” 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been wishing for this 😭😭😭

[@danageorge2575]

Finally! We've needed that FOREVER. Wooohoooooo!

[@tormxnta]

Please I hope they fix tapering!!

[@DJPaulgee1]

Sounds great. I hope they come up with the same idea for the colour palette too. It's not just about the ammount of brushes you add, what about all the colour palettes too ? Maybe that will be something they might consider for future updates.

[@whms1989]

I have thousands upon thousands of brushes so these updates are a dream come true for me

[@evelynwald9132]

Love the brush update and look forward to it. Now if only the Gallery names would be searchable so it would be easier to find older drawings. Thanks for sharing!

[@idanitee-designs]

I have a lot of brushes... this all pleases me!! Hopefully they will then think about those of us who make repeat patterns and how they include some cool things.. it would make them competitive with photo shop, illustrator and affinity.

[@Romey301]

Finally !!!!🎉 love the brush library / search update 🎉🎉🎉

[@divawatts]

EEEEKKKKK!!!!!! I have been begging for a way to organize and search brushes!!!! I cannot wait!!!

[@BardotBrush]

Sooo excited about the organization features!

[@tezzcan1]

Thank goodness! I really need better brush storage.

[@BardotBrush]

You and me both!

[@rhondamoore9842]

Yep, me too!

[@cosmodious1755]

This is awesome! I've been using CSP for years and have been trying out Procreate for a couple of weeks now. Brush and Stack organisation have been my biggest pain points.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Folders for brush sets! I've been dying for this.

[@HeribertoNieves]

I sent a really long email a few months ago and this is exactly what i mentioned to them, they listen!!!!!!!!! Omg im sooooo happy as my library of brushes is so big

[@ciskid23]

I want vector brushes, I want comic tools like panels, cutting tools etc. but I most of all want them to drop procreate on pc which I heard is being worked on

[@ayokakaiser]

Sounds great - and exciting with Kyle joining the team! The one thing I've always, always wanted was a way to search my canvases / artwork by name. I've spent so much time looking for stuff in various stacks and my growing library of finished work.

[@BardotBrush]

I would LOVE that feature too! I’m also ways scrolling/hunting for my past work.

[@christianr.5868]

Still waiting for lasso in dreams

[@nobodyhome3753]

feels like a sick joke at this point

[@zackery72]

As an Architect/illustrator that uses Procreate for work architectural work and side art and illustration work I have soooo many brushes I would love to be able to organize them better!

[@kerrymitchell3982]

Omg I have been wanting these features for the brushes forever !!! 🎉

[@tucoerquilenne6765]

We've needed this update forever !!! I am hoping Kyle had a huge part in convincing Procreate to finally allow us to organize our Brushes into Folders and Sub Folders to make our Library better organized !!!! I can't wait to see what's in store later this year. I am guessing this will be a 2024 Holiday release thing so we can bring in 2025 with organized brush sets !!!! It looks like Kyle has been cooking behind the scenes with the Procreate team !!!!

[@mherns7066]

Wish they would add an Art Brush setting as there is in Adobe Illustrator. I really need it to expand brushes I just created for Illustrator.

[@Candyroad6arts]

Awesome news! I loved the “Brush search” part. I have a bunch of brushes scattered over the library and I find it hard to find a specific brush sometimes 😂 Thank you for the heads up 💖😊

[@Sparklove1]

Being able to properly organize my brushes is one of the things I've been wanting for a long time!! 🤗

[@navitamagowilliams4276]

Oh brush search ! God sent!! 🎉

[@ThePixelula]

Super excited about brushes- thanks for exciting news!!❤

[@michelleg980]

Brush search sounds like heaven ❤ I need it. I’m a brush hoarder.

[@IkigaI14344]

Hi Lisa, That’s great news!!! I can see some interesting books behind you, are you able to do a video about them? Thanks

[@Roboto-chan_1402]

Oh that’s so exciting. Now if they could also introduce hardness and flow sliders (if needed toggle between these and the opacity and size sliders to avoid overcrowding the UI), that would make my day!

[@ciscospice]

I’ve been putting stars by brushes that I like. I wonder if we’ll be able to search by emoji ⭐️

[@BardotBrush]

That would be great! 🙌

[@kidkante]

All of these updates sound useful.

[@theanonymspysandwich]

Hoping they'll make the color-pick layer sensitive at some point

[@santone1849]

Sounds great looking forward to this

[@ellek8689]

Brush search! And it's about time that they improved the brush library and make it easier to search, find and organize brushes. Next, I'd love to see better alignment tools and and improved keyboard instead of that tiny keyboard and some improvements in selection tools. Do you have tips on how you organize your brushes?

[@BardotBrush]

I just started adding emojis to the beginning of my brush sets and that little visual clue has been very helpful for finding the set I am after!

[@hannahl4108]

BRUSH SEARCH AT LONG LAST!! LETS GOOOOO YESSS

[@Cartoonfixstudios]

As a professional animator, I use Procreate for my backgrounds and character art! Procreate Dreams for my animations! Absolutely love Procreate! These updates will be great!😊

[@Saaliyah29]

Happy newsss waited for this feature ❤

[@allcreationsmadeforyou8532]

omg about time!!! This is HUGE!!!!

[@azmah2.058]

I hope they add the backup creation from Procreate. Syncing 1by1 to the Cloud isn't enjoyable when one has to change to the new iPad.

[@stokegolfer]

It’s great they updating the brush library. I have so many brushes, will there be a function that highlights any brushes I have duplicated ? 🎉

[@onjofilms]

Fun news to know. I can imagine the new settings will apply to the new pen roll feature. Maybe different settings change differently depending on vector. I can see the settings for vector output.

[@MartianCreations]

Brush search!!!! Yeeeeeees!!!!

[@darkcult99]

Finally some long overdue love for Procreate.

[@leo.p5886]

I can’t wait this needed to be ages agoo. Do you know the release date? A release month???

[@entropy889]

Thank the Lord for this, finally. My brush library is a nightmare.

[@MissChelle]

Yayyyyyyy! I’ve needed a search for my 100s of brushes for ages. Thanks for the heads up ❤️🇦🇺

[@BardotBrush]

Happy to help!

[@amydeleon3387]

Yay!! Know that Bardot Brushes will be a sub-brush library on my iPad!!!

[@BardotBrush]

Love that!!

[@BluCranium]

Would be cool to see Vector Brushes like Adobe Fresco😁👍.

[@randallyons8745]

thank you the heads up......

[@dibujemaestro]

Seems great!

[@GabeWilliams]

Does anyone else feel like with procreate brushes colors kind of just sit on top of each other as opposed to something like csp?

[@chrisrcowley]

Do we know, when, the update is coming yet?

[@purrfectdesignstm]

Thank you. I am soooooooo happy to hear that. I have hundreds if not thousands of brushes and keep putting off sorting them so this is music to my ears... and I can put off sorting them a little longer! 😂

[@BardotBrush]

Procrastinating on organizing things is my love language.

[@kirtap2060]

Will this update come to older models Ipads like gen 9? Or this update come just for newier versions of Ipads?

[@little.prince]

We’re never getting Procreate 6. LMAO. But I’m so glad for the library updates. I have been wanting a Brush Search for SO LONG now.

[@silviadelfino4049]

I need vector brush in Procreate.

[@pastuh]

Voice commands exist for this app? Switch brush, tool, size..

[@cassielee1114]

Brush search yessssssss

[@DoraeArtDreams-Aspy]

Will Procreate add similar stuff to like CSP,Sai and Ibispaint like the curve and continuous curve tool?

[@sarahbrown4917]

New brushes and brush studio features would be good. Dunno about the cloud save and share feature with this whole apple ai stuff coming out this month. Rather just save to device and a backup hard drive.

[@AAWOLFE-zc6ly]

would love to update but as always with apple apps and operating system you have to update the os too, which in turn makes your device run sluggish, and eventually needing new hardware... i stopped playing apples game a long time ago.. but you all enjoy the update i am sure it will be a great one...

[@Artstronaut]

finally brush libraries aaaaa ❤❤❤❤❤ (when this update will be released?)

[@BardotBrush]

Sometime this year, hopefully soon! Release date hasn’t been announced yet.

[@Taylor92229]

0:59 finally!!!!

[@pumkinpatchwork]

brush search, but still no canvas search, stacks within stacks, or any way of organizing canvases (in chronological order for example)… hopefully this will change tho 😢

[@deebonash1495]

I want a history brush tool and pen tool 😢

[@JaneticsInk]

i would like a faster way to search for pictures i've drawn. For example in most apps if you tap the top of the screen it slides up to top. I draw a lot and it is so hard to find pics in my 100+ folders in procreate.

[@adolfstalinfranco]

I guess adjustment layers, layer group opacity, and group blending modes controls are never coming out. 💀

[@JonathanLascanoArt]

we need more group manipulation options :c

[@shannonsartgathering3321]

Is it still possible to make digital papers in procreate?

[@frankp3118]

do we need to buy a new iPad to get the new features, i wonder...

[@DoraeArtDreams-Aspy]

Is it true that Procreate is gonna add the curve tool? They’ve told me this last night “Adding improvements to our QuickShape tool (such as curve option) is currently listed as requested, and we added your support load to it 🙏🏻“

[@Saaliyah29]

I would love if they would make a gardient lasso tool like in Photoshop and the same polygon funktion .. or like infinite painter the filler brush 😍

[@julz63]

Brush Search…YASSS 🎉❤

[@noberd]

woah kyle webster!!!

[@SketchBud]

I hope they'll do some upgrade to Procreate Dreams, like have much better brush libraries over there.

[@paulcunningham5959]

Hi Lisa, my daughter has been using Procreate for 6-7 years using an old Ipad Pro and Gen 1 Apple Pencil. She recently got a new Ipad Pro 11" m4 and Apple Pencil Pro. She can't seem to get pressure sensitivity to work at all in Procreate like it used to. She checked her ver of Procreate and it is newest one. Any ideas on what settings it could be? Thanks Paul

[@BardotBrush]

Hi Paul! Try adjusting the pressure curve: Go to Actions Menu > Prefs > Pressure & Smoothing. Try dragging the line under App Pressure Sensitivity up or down.

[@haydar_kir]

I wish they had different canvas textures. Like paper etc.

[@Faux.P]

Amen. About time ha

[@littlewitchling535]

The only thing i wish they would do is make CSP brushes be compatible to procreate

[@carolkinnunen]

FINALLY!

[@gemlenz]

So this is all about brushes. What about other updates?

[@JuhoSprite]

Pro create for mac when?

[@willscorner8423]

I don’t know been trying with procreate but after Adobe Fresco it just doesn’t feel thought through like yah alpha or beta status software

[@ojmccaf63]

Ok how do I update Ptocreate?
