thanks for making this tutorial, I've been looking for something exactly like this! I also wanted to share a little trick I found to stop that accidental color blending from happening when you don't press hard enough while drawing: go to the COLOR DYNAMICS settings, then COLOR PRESSURE - SECONDARY COLOR. drag the slider all the way up to MAX. then CLICK that "MAX"! in the pop-up, select PRESSURE. click on the line that appears to create an ANCHOR POINT, and DRAG that anchor point ALL THE WAY UP to the TOP LEFT CORNER. that's it! the opacity of your inside line is now firmly set to 100% no matter how light or hard you press down the pencil. hope that helps someone! (credit for this tip goes to user GREENBIRD on the procreate folio boards!)

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hello, Sunny. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for QUITE a while now, and I can't tell you how utterly amazed I am that you would be kind enough to share this knowledge with me. I didn't even know that there are settings within settings! Thank you thank you thank you so much for sharing this. And give a huge thanks and hug to GREENBIRD as well. You are a lifesaver!

[@doodlingdebbie1]

@@MakeThisBrush The question should be, which one isn’t my favorite. I’ve made the Versa marker, gothic, fountain pen, tapered, and the rainbow glitter. I still haven’t used the versa marker successfully but, that’s me not knowing what I’m doing. For fun, the rainbow glitter has been a blast. The fountain pen is probably my fave. I have a lot more to make. Thank you for giving us so many creative, fun, tools to play, create, and have fun while doing it.

Thank you so much for creating this video and all the others you have done so far. I do appreciate the time and effort you put into creating these brushes and tutorials. I am having an issue when I choose white as the inside color. It gets darker at times. Is there a way for it to remain white? Thanks again for all you do

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi Angil. Unfortunately the pressure is the main way to do a duo color brush. For now all I do is press hard at first then slightly lessen pressure as I continue the stroke. Hopefully that helps. Thank you for watching!

[@jellyfishdotorg]

This is great, but i noticed sometimes the ends of the stroke get sorta blurry, is there any way to fix that or is it just a pressure thing?

[@MakeThisBrush]

There is a pressure curve adjustment that explains it all in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3-0ZnWNe9Bkb68 Hope this helps. :) And also, make sure your APPLE PENCIL PRESSURE OPACITY slider is set to zero.

[@CookieAura]

hello!! you’ve done WONDERS of help!! thank you so much!! on a side note, is there any way you could just fully disable to secondary color and just have it be transparent to get around the blurring colors with the pressure problem?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Thank you for your appreciation. I'll look into this option you brought up!

[@GhostlyAberrations]

You are very welcome Senpie. So happy I could help. :)

[@b.streets]

I absolutely love this tutorial (and all of your others) I am also having trouble with the colours varying with pressure but it works perfectly when I use my finger rather than Apple Pencil. I think it’s the same issue as getting two perfect tapers on each. Something about stroke prediction I think?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Yeah, I'm still trying to work that kink out. You can try adjusting the pressure sensitivity of your Apple Pencil to work around this in the meantime.

[@luneosol]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Is there a way to make the edges of the brush less sharp looking but still blend cleanly into each other after lifting the pen?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Yeah, unfortunately that's the best the PROCREATE system can do, but I definitely looking ways to refine this.

[@Gee_86]

Thank you!!!!

[@MakeThisBrush]

You are so welcome. :)

[@sairahart]

Omg this brush is actually what I have been looking for! Thank you! Quick question, is there a way to make the outline colour just a darker version of the inside colour? For eg. If you choose blue, the outline would just be a darker blue instead of a different colour:)

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hello, Sairah. Umm... yeah it shouldn't be an issue to choose two different shades of the same color. Just remember that the active color will be the outline color so choose that color second. Lemme know how it goes, okay? Thanks for the lovely words!

[@embeearqam5224]

[@diormin]

hii i tried this and it really works well but the color inside blends with the outline color? :/ is there a way just to have the flat color without it blending?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi diomin. Yeah, that's a color pressure issue. I have a video on how to resolve that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3-0ZnWNe9Bkb68si=rTSuEYwF6_UDAP6s Hope this helps!

[@rosmaya1005]

Thank you so much!! But do you know how to make like this brush but only the outline without any colors inside?

[@MakeThisBrush]

I'm not quite sure if that's possible, but I will definitely look into it. :)

[@krystalminton9899]

Do you have a brush that mimics the outside satin stitch on embroidery? Nice tutorials by the way!!!

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi Krystal. Hmm... that gives me an idea for a future tutorial. Will work on it!

[@SeeingStarsYT-art]

I really needed this! Thank you so dearly much! I didn’t know Procreate had this feature! *BUT* whenever I lower the pressure, it gets all blends & smudgy :(

[@MakeThisBrush]

Thanks Seeingstars! I think you should eliminate the APPLE PENCIL PRESSURE OPACITY for both brushes to help with your issue. Hope that helps!

[@SeeingStarsYT-art]

@@MakeThisBrush thanks! I had done that and it’s way better. It doesn’t quite connect properly when I use multiple strokes, but it is completely fine! :D

hello, i keep having problem where it keeps changing color when i apply different pressure. can you help?

Try adjusting your pressure setting in apple pencil. That worked for some people who had the same issue. :)

[@ssr8555]

Hi. I still get small pixels left of the outlines when going over a previous stroke. Is there a way to fix this?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Yeah, unfortunately that seems to be the issue with this brush. I tried my best to get rid of it, but in the end I couldn't find a way. I'll keep experimenting until I find a solution!

[@27rubn]

Is there a way to make this pencil in a way that if you put less pressure it keeps the same color? Thank you again !

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hey Oscar. Unfortunately there's no way to do that as the pressure is the main way to do a duo color brush. I tried adjusting the other dual color options and these settings are the best I could do. But I'll still continue to look for ways to improve this, so keep an eye out. Thank you for subscribing and commenting, I really appreciate it!

[@xiaobai7060]

@@MakeThisBrush it works, but the brush keeps changing colors randomly because of the jitter. There is no way to keep the same color?

[@MakeThisBrush]

@@xiaobai7060 What I do is go over what I've drawn as a work-around, or try turning down STROKE COLOR JITTER SECONDARY COLOR. Hope that helps.

[@princesssho]

Whenever I lift my pen and go to draw over the same line it’s blends into it well except for this weird pixilated white outline around the brush, is there any way I can fix that

Same here…

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi princesssho. Unfortunaltely I haven't figured out how to prevent that from happening. But I'm still trying! :)

[@MakeThisBrush]

[@arthoo3804]

pls help, when the i write inside one line of the brush, the brush dont combine, they make like a glowing line in between

[@MakeThisBrush]

Check your RENDERING settings in the brush settings. Make sure it's UNIFORMED GLAZE, BURNT EDGES MAX, BURNT EDGES MODE is BEHIND and turn on LUMINANCE BLENDING. Oh and also your SHAPE should be a solid round, no feather or blur. Try that, okay?

[@noobyplayz2840]

The filtering causes a one pixel thick outline when it overlaps

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi Noob. Yes, unfortunately that is a side-effect to the blending effect.

[@LittleMissLurker]

Very helpful!! But I have an issue I'm not sure how to fix. The beginning of the line is a gradient. How do I fix that? Also why doesn't the brush let me put white as the inside color?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi, LittleMissLurker. For the first issue, I think it has to do with the COLOR DYNAMICS PRESSURE settings. I have a tutorial here on how to fix that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3-0ZnWNe9Bkb68si=rTSuEYwF6_UDAP6s As for the second issue, umm... that's strange as I've never encountered that problem before. Can you tell me if it's still happening?

[@LittleMissLurker]

@@MakeThisBrush thank you!!!!

[@Renimyyy]

Is it possible for the outline to be blurred a bit? Like a sort of glow effect :D

[@MakeThisBrush]

HI Renimyyy. A blurred "shadow" or "outline" does not work with the blending option for this effect so unfortunately this is not possible.

[@Paula-vh8em]

You are so wonderful to make this brush. I’ve been looking for this. 1. How can I make it so that the outline (shadow) is gradient? 2. If I wanted one so that it’s pressure sensitive to give sort of a “shabby” look. How to do that?

[@MakeThisBrush]

Hi Paula. for 1: do you mean like a drop shadow that's blurred? and 2: by "shabby" do you mean distressed?

[@Paula-vh8em]

I have found that corners are issues so far with brushes. They overlap and looks sloppy. Takes a good bit of extra work to get it smooth and seamless

[@MakeThisBrush]

@@Paula-vh8em Oh, I see. This brush isn't perfect, and I realize it's shortcomings, but as PROCREATE improves with their updated I'm sure we'll get thing sorted. :)
