How to Draw Smooth Lines with Procreate: 2 Easy and Effective Ways

[@tatyanadeniz]

If you don't see "Streamline" in your settings, it's now under "Stabilization" in the newer versions of Procreate. It's sooo good!

[@arifajarsagita4266]

I had issues drawing perfect straight lines and this explained it the best way possible. Thank you so much.

[@tatyanadeniz]

Amazing, I am so happy to hear it and that your lines are smooth now! Thank you for your comment. 😊

[@boogeybeats5747]

I been searching google and you explained it without wasting time ❤good video

[@tatyanadeniz]

Yay!!!! I am sooo happy to hear it. 😊 Streamline combine with the "quick shape" is a game changer!! Procreate keeps updating it too, making it better and better. Like magic, hehe ✨😄

[@Morro-q4v]

I dont know why but literally every video about sketching are obsessed with using that chaorcoal type of pencils and I simply dont want to use them because I was using monolit so your tutorial is really helpful to me

[@tatyanadeniz]

Oh my goodness, I am so happy to hear it helped!! And yes, I hear you on the textured pencils. Have you seen the video where I trace over a camper with smooth vector-like lines? It might help as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYjJeKWgqZJofcU

[@dabbies1994]

Thank you for sharing. This has helped me. I never knew what streamline did but it makes sense now.

[@tatyanadeniz]

[@thumpist]

@@tatyanadeniz For me it was the brushes I didnt really understand the setting and was trying to bash my way through it, the stabalisation and especially the monotype brush changed the game. I have an issue with dexterity and getting the clean lines I really crave and the brush plus the tweaking has given me a small arsenal to work with and I am loving it gotta just keep practicing now!

[@tatyanadeniz]

@@thumpist yeah, that makes total sense. In any case, it's hard to keep your hand steady! The stabilization is getting better all the time. :) Yes, it's all about practice now!! So happy that you are creating.

Hello thanks for your video is there any tips to copy paste option guide. I'm a newbie and can't copy paste the eye like you did thanks

[@tatyanadeniz]

The easiest way to copy & paste is to select the area you want to copy & paste (using the selection tool), then take 3 fingers and swipe down on the screen. This will bring up a menu where you can say "Duplicate" to copy the selected area to a new layer. Hope this helps!!!

[@marinakryukova9599]

Thank you for the information!

[@gemlenz]

Informative. In 5.2 they added stabilization. How does that change what you described?

[@tatyanadeniz]

Yes, stabilization is sooo good. :) I've updated the video description to address that. I find stabilization to be even BETTER than the original streamline! I usually set my numbers around (or below) 45 to make sure the line still feels natural. Stabilization is the same as streamline (and is used in the same way), except it offers more tweaking options and better smoothing algorithm.

[@teabagNBG]

nice tipps!!! i can use illustrator and blender very good and this is very eas inside... but as soon it comes to hand drawing i ruin everything i touch hahahaha recently got me procreate , i really like it, i draw daily to practice hopping one day i get better...

[@tatyanadeniz]

Yay, so glad the tips helped! I hear ya about the challenge of going from vector to drawing by hand. I am the opposite!! My hand flows freely, and with vector - I get stuck, haha. I suppose both skills take practice. :) Yeah, keep practicing and it will feel natural. What made a huge difference for my Procreate journey was a commission of 13 full-page illustrations to be completed within 3 weeks. I drew so much that I inevitably got more comfortable with it! Excited to hear about your progress. :)

[@AntoninoBolognaFL]

Much appreciation on the video, a truly intuitive and concise guide to drawing smooth lines with Procreate using an Apple Pencil an iPad 🙏

[@nithyageorge7552]

Does using a matte protector help in having stable lines?

[@tatyanadeniz]

I do love my PaperLike screen protector (it's matte and offers resistance to the pencil). And to me, it helps with smooth lines. I am not sure that matte protector would automatically give you stable lines (stabilization settings does! :)), but it helps to gain that dexterity faster. So yes. :)

[@ThomsitoOficial]

Very useful thak you!!!

[@tatyanadeniz]

Yay!!!! Thank you, so glad it helped!!

[@allegracatalano2411]

my ipad for some reason won’t do the drag down copy paste menu that you were able to do

[@tatyanadeniz]

Oh, it takes a bit of getting used to... it has to be a precise 3-finger swipe (unless it's disabled for you). Try a few more times!! And check your settings: tools (with wrench icon) > Prefs > Gesture Controls > Copy & Paste > see that you have it set to "3-finger swipe". Let me know if this works!

Question: how do you make a portion of a circle’s line wider in width and taper down to a fine point? Thank you!

[@tatyanadeniz]

Hi Greg, GREAT question! To do this, you will need to use a brush that has varied width. So NOT Mononline, as I show in this video. But something like "Studio Pen" or "Syrup" or "Script". You can still set the "Stabilization" settings for those, like I show in the video, to keep them smooth overall. And you can use the "Quick Shape". But they will give you a tapered point based on the pressure you apply. Hope this helps! Is this what you are after? Or something different?
