Want to make your own procreate brush? In today's video, I am going to show you how to make a three-line, "spaghetti" style brush using Procreate 5's new brush engine which you can also transform into repeating lines of dots as well! This brush is great for making patterns or even backgrounds for coloring books! Thanks to Sonia V. for suggesting the topic covered in this video!
Let me know in the comments what you would like to see covered in upcoming episodes...you might see your idea come to life!

[@doodlingdebbie1]

Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial you shared. You have a nice clear voice and a great ability for teaching. It’s so kind of you to take the time to share your knowledge, talents, and skills.

[@brittsar]

Thank you for sharing, its so rare to have someone teach people how to make brushes instead of having to purchase them.

[@BeeJayDeL]

I sell brushes too but like to balance it out with info like this! Glad you found it helpful!

[@yinssleepydiaries380]

Holy shit, the rotation thing is a lifesaver. Thanks a lot

[@Jennifer-wr9si]

omg I had to watch at least 5 videos on 'how to make custom brushes' to finally find one that actually told me how to create them from scratch. thanks!

[@mbeining11]

Your guides are second to none brother!

[@CathyNeale1]

Wow love this brush thank you!! I can use this for all sorts of stuff for fashion!

[@missartist123]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much! I’ve been messing around with making my own brushes and your tutorial definitely covered all the bases. I feel more confident in starting to make them for myself.

[@Xsites]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I recently bought an iPad and Procreate. This is one of the best brush tutorials I've seen so far - much appreciated. I will certainly check out what else you have on your channel.

[@LOGOASSASSIN]

Fantastic thanks. SO many brushes and procreate videos are very similar, here we get an unusual brush and it's super useful. I was trying to do this but with a rough edge (debaser rusty nib) multi line brush, I couldn't quite figure it out it's my first go at making any brush. In the end I had to make a straight pattern and warp it to get the curves I wanted but this obviously distorted the shapes edges but I could live with that.

[@Lady_Royal777]

That was so helpful, thank you Del. I have been searching for so long on how to create your own custom brush on procreate. Just amazing that you shared this for free, really appreciated. Thanks again 👍🏼✨

[@BeeJayDeL]

Any chance you could show how to make a tapered brush that gets smaller on one end and is followed by tiny dots that also taper down? I lost my favorite brush and have searched everywhere trying to find a new one. I would love to make my own! Thank you for this tutorial! It inspired me to want to try for myself.

[@sophiechelton1453]

I need a tablet for doing art on but can’t afford it at the moment ! Can’t wait to start, I’ll be using all your videos for help 😁

[@BeeJayDeL]

Great goal to reach for...keep at it!!

[@Queenofthewest704]

On amazon there a 7th gen for $200 something it works with procreate

[@animdoodle]

Char Art I think I’m gonna prolly save up for the 7th Gen, ‘cause rn I’ve got an IPad 2..

[@tjduprey]

Keep an eye on prime prices. From time to time they will suddenly offer payments (not the Amazon card) that's how I got my iPad pro and my cricut explore air 2. Haven't seen many of them though

[@mikerisner]

The video is terrific, as always ... Of course, mine turned out wrong. I believe I followed each step. Watched the video about 5 times. My brush results in the dots being too close together. I carefully measured the dots using the grid (about grid 4 boxes wide, 1 grid box spacing). And the lines insist on having a glow effect (kinda smudgy). That glow renders before any of the properties were tweaked, and the glow doesn't go away. I checked the edge and wet settings. Shoot me...

[@Dulcilady]

I don’t have some of the settings options that you have such as streamlining under properties. I just today redownloaded procreate so I should think it would be the most recent version. Using iPad Pro 12.9 2nd Gen

[@HmsquidFarded]

THANKS SO MUCH THIS HELPED SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! 6:37 *dog gets off couch*

[@sajidasajida5903]

Thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh 👏🏻👍🏻

[@Lola-bg1nz]

Thank you!

[@baap22]

Thanks!

[@francoisesanders3530]

This by far was a detailed but straightforward video... ABSOLUTELY LOVE. I too am hwving the halo issued and I've retired what seems like a trillion times (I have a 4 year old we exaggerate and over dramatize a lot 😂) I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I can see the halo on the drawing pad after I import the image but before I make any adjustments.

[@francoisesanders3530]

GOT IT! Not sure how but YASSSS 👍🏾

[@BeeJayDeL]

Glad you figured it out!

[@RBallarddesigns]

Very cool. I was wondering how people were making new brushes

[@BeeJayDeL]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks!

[@karenjames5063]

Thank you so much for this and I purchased your textures brushes and would have purchased the cartooning ones but there was no link how to pay for them? I was able to actually do your tutorial but had trouble putting a new name to my brand new creation. I was able to go to the info place on the brush creation and put a name but it didn’t change it on the actual brush side still saying it is untitled brush. Maybe I need to log out of my iPad and restart and it might show up? How do you do it? Thanks for saving me tons hours trying to figure out this wonderful new art program.

[@Frezingshorts]

Thanks for this brush, it turned out almost like yours except when I want to drop in a colour on each line it automatically fills in the 3 lines. Can you help? Thanks

[@thijisvansise3323]

Great video.

[@juliafalce8672]

This saved me 15 dollars , thank you!!

[@BeeJayDeL]

You are welcome!

[@idontrlyusethisappanymorel5486]

Julia Falce how?

[@BirdaeBlue]

JOHN some people sell brushes

[@alexism1445]

when ever u turn on animation assist i can only draw straight lines any tips to help this not happen? Thx for the amazing tutorial btw

[@hielitolindo]

Thanks for the tutorial, i followed them step-by-step but my brush doesn't change the color line by line like in the min 12:00 and i don't know why :(

[@christinatoth2747]

So after you make the brush how do you save it in Procreate? Love your videos

[@KevinAyer]

Great video thanks for sharing. I tweaked yours into a dashed line. Think you could do a brush to create a line with arrow at either end?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Don’t think that would be possible short of making it a stamp brush

[@carolkotcheck6065]

No one seems to make new Procreate brushes anymore, so I guess I’d better start myself, thanks.

[@donnalubin2745]

It took me a couple of tries. I ended up modifying the monoline brush

[@BeeJayDeL]

👍👍👍

[@Shurii_art]

Hiii ! I'm trying to make a dashed line brush, so it seems a bit similar to what you're doing here, but I don't really understand why it won't follow my stroke line. The dashes will just be randomly turning and the result looks nothing like a dashed line. Any tips for that ?

[@spiters81]

thank you

[@ditikshajagad3641]

How do you increase the thickness of the brush?

[@AlexStafford11]

Hey BeeJayDel, been following along to get this custom brush and I’ve followed all the steps and I still do not have the final result of the brush….. super confused

[@beauteoussounds1156]

Fantastic! Thank you. I’ll use this a ton. Can you increase the space between the three lines? I’m thinking you would just start with a thinner line(?)

[@BeeJayDeL]

You could increase the space between the lines by increasing the size between the circles in the first step.

[@beauteoussounds1156]

Gotcha! Thanks again.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Out of curiosity what would you use his for. It’s cool but I can’t think what I would use it for

[@beauteoussounds1156]

Always Bolt the Bird: I draw coloring book pages and it’s a good background/frame...and who knows? Maybe I’ll draw a plate of spaghetti some day. ;) Plus, I dig the far out 70’s vibe!

[@christinesamaan5695]

Hey dude can you plz show us how to make skin brushes? It would be very helpful

[@annavannoni]

Cool!

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks!!!

[@annavannoni]

@@BeeJayDeL I have uploaded a tweet to your twitter account about this video

[@gabrielasilva3561]

I'm trying to make a road brush so I can make a city map easier, but the brush is not continuous, it's like is a stamp brush, how do I fix it? I can't find an answer.

[@monicayatzel]

This was really helpful! I was following this tutorial but I don’t have the “response” option under apple pencil. I do have the newest version of procreate. Any ideas what might be the issue? Thank you for this ❤️

[@monicayatzel]

I found the response option, turned it off but the lines still touch :(

[@monicayatzel]

Rewatched the whole thing and I was missing the rotation part 🤦‍♀️

[@jilliensy5354]

Hey, can you produce your brush packs for Krita too??

[@esquared7002]

Can you please do a tutorial on how to do this on procreate 4

[@kingofmyheart]

Amazing just saved $4 dollars!

[@sanakiyamam1987]

i've done a shape colorful and when i import it than the colors are gone. it's just grey. i don't get it.

[@crystaldunn5348]

When I save the first original line stroke to import into the brush it is grayed out and won’t let me click on it to import the stroke to make a new brush. I’ve tried saving to files and to the camera roll.

[@oziomaz]

Crystal Dunn Had same issue. Import on the SHAPE page.

[@DJPaulgee1]

I followed this tutorial to make this brush. I have two problems with this brush. 1/ When I release my pencil from the screen, it leaves two dots at the end of each line. 2/ I cannnot work out how to colour each line individually, the colour drop applies the same colour to both lines. I also made a three line version of this brush and have the same problems. I am using the new iPad Pro 13 inch 2024 release and the latest version of Procreate.

[@amandagrogan5040]

Please help.... for some reason I cannot get the lines separate colors

[@citlaflor]

Such a great video!!! The only thing is that I cannot color each line separately... What can it be?

[@BeeJayDeL]

It might be your color drop threshold...as you drag the color in, hold down the pencil/stylus and slide to the left.

[@citlaflor]

@@BeeJayDeL thanks for the reply but unfortunately it did not work by changing the threshold... :(

[@closedfornow2903]

Same here

[@oziomaz]

Awesome.

[@minecraftbee5815]

I want to add colour to mine, but when I import it in files, it automatically makes it black and white. Any way to fix this?

[@thatonegirlsash]

For some reason, it didn’t work for me... I followed all the instructions and it’s really glowy and blurry and there are squares behind the strokes... 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@beaniebabez6632]

Same here

[@Nova_VII]

Do you know how to make a grass brush if so please make a tutorial

[@shivangisukumaran8059]

Can you please please make a tutorial on how to create eyebrows and lashes brush in procreate? 🥺🥺

[@sprigslashvital291]

There’s an app called brushes for procreate where you can download a lot of brushes for free and that’s where I found mine, and you can import my opening files and then press + hold the file with the brush you downloaded and then open procreate while still holding and then when you open procreate you take your finger off the screen and then it should import

[@closedfornow2903]

While taping the screen with the pancil i get like a messy 5 dots. anyway of fixing that messing part. Also I cant change the color of each line is there a way to fix that issue?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Tapping won’t give you the desired effect-it’s a moving brush. As far as coloring the lines...it’s either you are using it in too small of a canvas, using too small of a brush size, or made it on too small of a canvas to begin with.

[@RuthieOnTheMobile]

I'm new to all this, so currently watching videos before I get started. But you could try making a stamp brush.

[@affezasoyfoo4168]

Hi can you help me please. I'm trying to make the brush. I saved the brush to procreate file and when I import it to the brush section the 3circles are grey it won't import. It doesn't matter where I save it it's still grey I can't tap to to import it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have tried so many times but no luck. Please please help. Thank you.

[@dousalem]

love your content (Y)

[@BeeJayDeL]

Thanks so much!!!

[@barrysimpson130]

Would be nice to save it as specific name. How do I do that?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Click on the brush to open the brush studio- very bottom option- click on the name of the brush to rename!

[@paolapieretti6832]

Might be a little too late but for those in the comment section saying there was a glowy/halo effect in the brush, here’s how I solved it. 1. Create a 2000 x 2000 px canvas for your shape ( I did 5000x5000 like in the video, so my brush thumbnail got the grayish square behind it, which caused the glowy effect later on - it’s barely visible when you upload the shape - you can check in the size slider button if it shows or not) 2. Take all opacity/pressure settings from a normal round hard edge brush first of all to use as a base for the circles ( and the new brush later ) 3. Make sure it’s pure black and white (#ffffff and #000000) Hope it helps

[@patriciac6756]

I have a question when I save the brush to files, then when I open procreate to export the brush I see is there but don’t get me the option to get it.... and if I save to pictures, from procreate I don’t have the option to go to pictures and get the brush to export it to procreate, I don’t know what I am doing wrong...can u o someone help me pleas?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Not sure I understand the question...if you are the one making the brush, why are you needing to export it and then import it? The brush you made will be there in Procreate already???

[@patriciac6756]

Let's Draw with BeeJayDeL yes I make the brush, but when I want to put it in the procreate brushes it doesn’t let me get the brush to instal it to procreate.

[@CHRISTYLEcovet]

Patricia C 1. Turn iPad horizontally. Because if you do it vertically in the Shape section you don’t see the voice “edit” you need to click before you import your file. You are trying to import a brush (obviously you don’t have on files)

[@loriotter]

I have followed this and mine end up with a “halo” around it. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. If I try to change the colors of the lines, the entire thing changes....not just one at a time. Any thoughts???

[@BeeJayDeL]

Might be canvas size? If you followed every step of the video it should turn out the same so something must be different...

[@loriotter]

Redid the whole thing again and this time it works. I love it!

[@francoisesanders3530]

Im having the same issue.

[@gobyg-major2057]

I think u could just copy from the canvas and paste it into the brush shape source without having to save it and re import it.....

[@ms.miller9167]

My brush does not perform the same as I move it from horizontal to vertical?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Must have missed a step

[@ms.miller9167]

does it matter that I have an iPad 7 generation and not a pro?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Nope...no difference

[@ms.miller9167]

I went back, watched the video again and second time was a charm. Thank you so much!

[@cwpct]

How can I give the brush a title?

[@BeeJayDeL]

Click on the brush and when the brush menu comes up, click on “Rename.”

[@Gumdropsss]

I might just be shouting into a void but, if anyone sees this, I really need a brush thats like the one where you combine two and make one smaller to make it a kind of “outline” brush, but I want it where the lines are autocolored and the color you control is the one in the middle…. Idk does this make sense?😭

[@flower_pig3]

Mine doesn’t work…😭

[@sanakiyamam1987]

it's nice to have but sometimes less is more.
