I did step by step and it was close but 1 think you need to reset all settings because mine doesn't do it very close but it’s driving me nuts

[@franciss9942]

you saved my ass today. and every other day when clients want snakes!

I tapped my screen to change white to black but it didn’t work. What do I need to change on my settings to get that black background when I copy and paste the canvas?

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

use a double finger tap. That should work!

[@amandaolinger2423]

Hi! I’ve followed along every step as I’ve never made a new brush before. However when I’m in the shape editor and I’ve pasted my image, it doesn’t turn transparent when I single click it… is there another way to do this?

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

double tap it with both fingers , that should work.!

Hello I having issues with downloading this brush

What's wrong Leslie? Not able to download it or use it?

[@dewesafavor8275]

Literally struggling with snake scales as this video gets recommended

[@ihartbeauty7210]

Ummmm not sure if it’s an update. After I import the scales in the shape section I’m not able to make the white background go away. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

use two fingers to tap the screen. give that a try! Thanks

[@ihartbeauty7210]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die heck yea it worked. Thanks much!

[@shantesisk101]

Love this tutorial!!

[@bev-q8u]

When I click on the shape source, the canvas doesn’t turn black for me. So the copied canvas just looks like the entire white canvas. Could u help.?

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

you might have to tap it with two fingers or double tap.

[@bev-q8u]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die i figured it out 30 seconds after I posted my comment ha thank you!!

[@inkdependent5379]

Nice video ! I’ve tried doing the brush ,but when I import the canvas ,the background doesn’t turn black…. It’s not working. If you know how to solve this please leave a comment.✌️

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

Thanks Mate! Try to use a double finger tap. That should work!

[@Lumpdadabubub]

It works with double tap

[@sadepennbrook]

Have you figured out how to fix those detached scales where the brush rounds?

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

I leave you my settings for the brush: *Stroke Path: -Spacing 37% -jitter None -Fall off None *Stabilization Streamline -Amount 46% -Pressure max Stabilization -amount 43% MOtion Filtering -Amount 35% Pressure Taper Size 85% Opacity Max Hope it helps!

[@matcha-g7z]

There's no istreamline in my procreate pls help me, it only shows jitter and Fall off :( what to do?

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

its under stabilization i believe

[@alelucero3050]

Hola en infinite painter?

[@Piho.x]

Idk why but streamline doesn´t work for me...like I go into stabilization but nothing changes when I mess around with the settings

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

did find out why? Try the brush on the preview screen with a curve , then try to see if the streamline changes !

[@Piho.x]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die Nope...I tried so much but somehow it just doesn´t want to work. Idk what the problem is

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

@@Piho.x Try comparing my setting listed on the comments pinned above.

[@aarontronix8]

Can u do this however u want or is it just the snake?

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

How ever you want and pretty much how you create any brush :)

[@reichausglas9796]

Hey, I have the problem that one way the snake line looks perfectly and the other way it’s just a mess. How do I fix it, that it follows this nice flow? ❤️ thank you in advance

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

Hey there !! Could it be it under shape option, the check rotation. Makes sure it's all the way to the right , to follow stroke 👍

[@reichausglas9796]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die thank you so much, but now the scales are sideways and overlapping 🤦🏻‍♀️ I will start from the beginning again 😄

[@reichausglas9796]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die now it works perfectly, thank you so much!! ❤️

[@doms_fantastic3007]

Making sure the azimuth under shape is flipped on helped me a lot

[@RosaRodriguez-ms2yx]

The brush works fine while editing, but turns sideways when i go to use it! Any idea what I did,

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

check your brush shape orientation , makes sure it follows the stroke. Let me know if you solved it. Thanks

[@basildraws]

Works perfectly!

[@kaia0012]

Hey thanks so much for the brush! It looks great! But i have a little problem: the brush only works on the canvas - i generated it on (or if i Duplikate this spezific canvas) but if i open a new canvas - the brush looks like my 1 scale pattern and not like the snake - as if all the settings were off BUT in the testing-canvas in the brush settings it DOES still work.. but NOT on the real canvas Do u know whats the problem or what to do? greetings kaia!

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

Hey there! Thanks for watching. So is the brush acting more like a stamp brush scale, just the 1 set of scales? Perhaps check your spacing , try to see if they are close enough together to create the brush continuous. Hope im understanding the issue correctly. thanks

[@kaia0012]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die hmm not quite.. its like this: the brush works on the canvas i created it. If i duplicate said canvas - its still working too But if i open a new canvas (also sqare) and use the brush - its like the brush has 0 settings But if i look into the settings of the brush - they are correct - and also the test-canvas in the settings works - but not on the main canvas 😅

[@kaia0012]

​@@My_Ideas_Never_Die lol yeah, i finally figured out why it happened ^^ I have the (bad) habbit of constantly rotating my canvas around... and it seems the brush only works at a certion position.. so i hav to rotate my canvas 90°, and THEN it works 😂 So i am happily using the brush now. I just need to keep my "rotating" under control 🤣 Thank you again for the guide and your help ❤

I really appreciate u taking ur time to post it Just a quick tip, next time after making the video record it again so it will be smother (pun intended ). Anyway, thank u!

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

Thank you ! I appreciate the feedback, I will definitely take it into consideration with my next video.

[@AnheruShiroi]

It doesn't work for the new update sadly

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

what part didnt work for you?

[@AnheruShiroi]

@@My_Ideas_Never_Die Well, It started mostly from the beginning, when you changed the drawing guide. It was different for me, and when you went to paste the image to the brush it just became an image. So when I adjusted the brush it just became a bunch of small images instead of when you tapped it the backround went away and the black lines became white etc.

[@My_Ideas_Never_Die]

@@AnheruShiroi The drawing guide , along with the Drawing guide adjustment setting can be found under the wrench option , on the Canvas tab. Or if you tap on your drawing layer, make sure the drawing assist is checked, just couple of ways to activate it. If you are getting still images on your brush, its because the image need to be changed to transparent, usually taping the image on Shape editor with two fingers will change your image to transparent. I checked the tutorial and seems to be working with 5.2 version. The only change i see is the "streamline" option is under stabilization . Let me know if you need more help! Thanks
