[@nimnimnaredi5537]

@@colorwithkendi hie really appreciate your effort. Information in this video is cleared lot of doubts. I have 1 question regarding taper setting I.e. I am using third party stylus and in my every brush both ends are not thinning or tapering. 1 end always remain blunt. Please provide solution if possible.

[@kaceymatthews]

Someone please help me I can’t even draw anything it won’t let me use any brush what do i do

[@p3nnycraft]

Thank you so much for this!!! My issue was sticky brushes, but it wasn't just individual brushes, it was my *global* stabilization settings that got messed up somehow. When you opened up the Pressure & Smoothing menu in the first segment and I saw my stabilization was at 50% while yours was at 0% I knew I'd found my culprit. I can draw again!

[@lauramikkelsen983]

Thank you so much for this comment! I've been so frustrated and given up on Procreate because my brushes didn't act like on the tutorials (even paid guides), even when I've followed the exact same settings for brushes and everything ... Now I'm finally getting rid of the sticky brushes that have been making it impossible to draw like normally

It really helped to adjust the pressure curve, Thanks

[@liesbeth9810]

7:05 it might have been said by someone else, but if those suggestions don’t work and if keeps on skipping, sometimes the Apple Pencil tip needs to be replaced as it wears down over time or when you drop it (I’ve had some with a small dent in the tip causing this kind of skipping). Or when using a matte screen protector, it might need to be changed when it has to many or deep scratches (or cleaned when it’s dirty).

[@katherinenoggle6407]

Thanks for this - very helpful! Especially since i had just screwed up a texture brush trying to make it smaller. The sidebar only narrowed the brush, didn't make the actual texture smaller. At least i know how to restore it now! Any hints on how to make a halftone dot texture smaller would be greatly appreciated!

[@colorwithkendi]

You're welcome, Katherine! In order to make the halftone dot texture smaller, you can follow these steps: 1. Duplicate the brush and then tap on the brush to open the Brush Studio. 2. Then tap on the segment called Grain. 3. Reduce the scale on the scale slider. Tap on done to save the change. Let me know if that works!

Hi there! I use the 6b default pencil in procreate. I select the Comic 6 x 9.5 inch cavas. The pen works great for a one character panel. But when I use to make 4 or 5 panel scenes and Im drawing the characters smaller in size on the same Comic 6 x 9.5 canvas, the 6b pencil is too fat to draw details. Even if i slide the pencil size to smallest setting. Is there a way to change the 6b pencil size lower in the settings? Thanks!

[@colorwithkendi]

You can change the settings in the brush engine. You can watch my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqPUo6CKjJ6DbZo Just change the min size instead of the max size. Let me know if that works!

[@winnieg100]

Thank you so much. Please help me. Very often , no matter which brush I’m using , the erase feature comes on. It’s very frustrating to be painting and all of a sudden I’m erasing!

Hello, you can change the settings of your Apple Pencil to avoid this issue. Go to your iPad settings (not Procreate settings). Then find Apple Pencil. Then where it has Double Tap, turn the option off. Let me know if that resolves the issue.

[@jadasimonee1571]

Mine still doesn’t workk 😩 it makes this smudge effect especially over a color but then the brushes and colors work with my fingers

Thanks so much, really helpful. My strokes all tend to look shaky, i am not sure if I have a shaky hand, when I draw with a pencil it’s not apparent, but no matter the brush, my strokes are shaky.

[@colorwithkendi]

Hi Liza, if this is an issue with every brush then you’ll benefit from changing the overall Procreate settings for the Apple Pencil. Go to the actions menu (wrench icon), then go to Prefs, then go to Pressure and Smoothing. Play around with the first two settings until you are able to get non-shaky lines. Hope that helps!

Thanks for your video! I'm just starting out and am simply tracing photos, etc. to make stained glass patterns to ultimately be printed on my Cricut. Others have suggested the technical pen at 5% to make the correct line width for spaces between the pieces for soldering. My problem is that I need my line width to stay constant, no matter how hard I press, and the ends need to have no taper. Can you help with my settings? Thanks ahead of time!

Have you tried using the monoline brush in the default Calligraphy section? It has no taper and is a single width.

[@colorwithkendi]

Sorry for the late reply. Have you tried turning off the option to paint with your finger? I have that turned off and I haven’t noticed the issue you’re describing. You can turn it off under the Actions menu under Preferences. It’s in the gesture controls under the general segment. Hope that will work.

[@JusttakesomeAspren]

Do you need Apple Pencil to get the pressure to work? Bc I have a dupe and my pressure settings don’t change my strokes

[@viktoriafannii]

Hey! 😊 thanks a lot for this video. Basically my problem is a little bit different and maybe we could find a solution for it ; so first of all I use a 2022 iPad Pro with 2nd generation pencil ,canvas settings are always at high px and 450 dpi. And my issue is when I draw something in detail and I zoom into the canvas a little bit, any brush becomes VERY pixelated, let’s say it’s really disturbing for my drawing process, I feel it’s dirty. The second thing is that when I try to put shadows with gentle movements with a bigger brush, it leaves a mark in the beginning when I put down the brush , it leaves a mark in the way the brush pattern looks like itself. I try to do it as gentle as possible but it didn’t leaves even if I adjust the settings of the pressure. So hopefully I was able to explain it well. Thanks in advance 😊

[@colorwithkendi]

Hello! What are the exact dimensions of your canvas? And if you could send a short video clip showing the issue along with the brush names they would be helpful. You can send me an email.

[@viktoriafannii]

@@colorwithkendi thank you for your quick response! Sure, I’ll send you today all the informations attached.

[@liampeyper8261]

Hi there I’m having a problem with procreate settings most likely, because I even switched pens and it’s giving the same problem. So some brushes don’t adjust at all even when using the thickness and opacity sliders. The lines come out thin and pixelated or, in al the others, don’t even show at all.

[@colorwithkendi]

Can you please send a video of your issue to my email?

[@JJ-gy3wy]

Thank you 🎉

[@chewwyyann]

Hi, many thanks for the tutorial. Can you help with the tip of the brush? All of the end of the line or tip is not sharp or pointed like yours, I haven't seen any tutorial for that, all of the end of my lines are not pointy or sharp

[@colorwithkendi]

Hello, You're welcome. The sharp tip of the lines depends on a few things: 1. The brush itself. Not all brushes have the ability to create such tips. It depends on the settings. Select a brush in the brush library. And then tap again on the brush in the brush library and it will open up the brush settings. Adjust the taper settings. 2. Your use of pressure. To create pointed tips, you need to reduce the pressure as you draw the end of the line. If your pressure remains the same throughout, you will not get a tip even if the brush settings are correct. This requires some practice and brush control. As you create a line, reduce the pressure as you lift the pencil. You will get the hang of it after a few tries. 3. Your stylus - if you have an Apple Pencil, you will be able to get the most out of the pressure sensitivity and therefore you should be able to create tips if the brush settings are correct and you use varying pressure. However, with other styluses, you may not get the same results as they are not always as pressure sensitive. In a nutshell, the taper/tip requires you to use a brush with the correct settings, a stylus that is adequately pressure sensitive and requires your use of varying pressure. Practice is essential. Hope that helps!

[@pinkponypuppy9586]

Hi I’m still stumped! I keep having to hold down when drawing to have the lines come out when drawing. It’s not a issue for most of my lines but mercury for example is making me press down on my tablet when using my apple pen and when I do it just comes out a big line and I don’t want to deal with it. How do I make it where I can draw easily with out pressing hard? Sorry if i word it bad I don’t know how to explain this.

[@colorwithkendi]

Can you make a short video clip of the issue and link it here? That will help me understand the issue better.

[@sapzzree]

Hi! why is my pencil not pressure sensitive? For the default “script” brush, im pressing hard but it’s not becoming thick, just same size when I don’t press too hard (only the opacity changes)

Great vid! In the first part of the video it shows pressure, i cannot get the light sketch no latter what curve i do, it all looks extremely dark, any idea??😭

[@colorwithkendi]

Hi Pamela, can you try again and test with the default 6B pencil and drag the center pressure curve node all the way to the bottom right hand corner? That would be the most extreme setting. If it’s still coming out dark then it’s likely some other issue and not the pressure curve. Let me know if it works.

Hello 👋. There are two different things you could try. 1. Go the the wrench icon and tap on Prefs. Then go to Gesture controls and then tap on General. Then turn off enable painting with fingers. Exit and go back to the canvas. Then try to use the Apple Pencil. Does that work? 2. Go to the iPad settings app. If you don’t know where that app is, just hit search and type in the word “settings”and it will come up. In that app, find where it says Apple Pencil. Then turn on the setting that says “only draw with Apple Pencil”. Does that work?

[@colorwithkendi]

Hi Jenny, can you send me an email with a short video attachment of the issue? And also, can you let me know the name of the brush you are trying to smudge with? Not all brushes smudge well. Have you tried smudging with the Procreate default brush called Soft Brush (it’s under the Airbrushing section in the Smudge Brush Library). Does that brush also not work? My email address is [e-mail] .

[@Dani_UK]

Hi, thank you for the tips you shared! I have learned a lot. But my brush behaviour issue hasn’t been mentioned. My brush strokes have abilities to undo themselves while I’m still working. I am trying to draw a oval or circle and before I managed to close the curve and hold to activate the menu, my strokes started going backwards and become as a line instead of curves 😢, or make a curve but not closed up. Like a half oval . I don’t know what I have changed in my settings to get this issue and if you know how I can fix it, I will be grateful ❤

[@colorwithkendi]

Hi Dani, there are two things that came to mind when I read your comment. 1) You might be inadvertently invoking the QuickShape feature in Procreate. If you make a line or curve and hold it (even inadvertently), it invokes the QuickShape command automatically and that can make your strokes look really different from what you had made. You can try turning off QuickShape and see if your issue resolves. I'll explain that in the next reply.

[@colorwithkendi]

To turn off QuickShape, complete the following steps. Open the Actions Menu (wrench icon), and then go to Prefs. Select Gesture Controls. On the left, find where it says QuickShape and tap on it. Then turn it off. You might have it turned on as Draw and Hold. See if turning that off helps.

[@colorwithkendi]

The other thing I thought of was 2) the connection between fabric and the screen. Sometimes, when I wear a sleeve with soft fabric and if it brushes up against the screen while I paint, the strokes look funny and not as intended. Try to push the sleeve of your shirt up so it can't touch the iPad screen when you paint. Let me know if any of the two solutions worked. :) Hope that helps!

[@sternenhell7316]

Hey, I am really new to your Channel, just checked here for a solution to a problem i have had for a bit now. I have a Normal Apple Pencil 2. Gen and i didn't had any issues with it until maybe 4 months ago. My issue here is that it constantly seems to 'think' that i dont tilt my Pencil at all but I do and the Brushes dont seem to detect it. And the Tilt settings are normal and should work. I even tested it, if it works on m, Notes app because the Pencil tool should detect Tilt too but nothing. So i have the Opposite problem to the one you resolved. Does anyone knows a fix...? A lil side note, I have changed my Nips a few times. But even when i use the default tip; Nothing.

[@sharyromano]

I have a question! I can’t have the app pressure sensitivity on default because you can hardly see a mark no matter how hard I press. I have to really crank up the curve to see my marks. But when I do that my brushes don’t respond to pressure :(. Do you have any suggestions? Hopefully that makes sense haha.

[@colorwithkendi]

Can you send me a photo of your current pressure curve? You can email me.

[@kurene]

do you need to do stabilization with all the brushes? or is there a setting we might be able to change, I feel most of the default are like that, maybe not to that extent shown on video but they do have some stickiness to them

[@colorwithkendi]

As far as I know, there is a setting under the actions menu (the wrench icon) under preferences called Pressure and Smoothing and you can only increase overall stabilization there, not decrease it. So there is no way to decrease the stickiness of all brushes in one go. You’ll need to change the stabilization of each brush individually if you want to remove/decrease the stickiness.

[@crowcove]

hey! wondering if you could help: i have the brush opacity problem, but it isnt because of the opacity slider being set wrong! the brush is normal when im using my finger, but no matter how much pen pressure i put, my apple pen shows it as semi-transparent. whats the issue?

[@colorwithkendi]

Check the fall off setting in the brush settings. If it’s on, turn it off. To get to that setting, just tap on the brush to open the Brush Engine and you’ll see it in the first category at the bottom.

[@1crafter2another]

@@colorwithkendi I gave it a shot. Turned the fall off all the way down, then back up. No change on either setting. The stamp, a simple circle, still gets lighter the smaller the size selected. I'm wondering if I have to just make a new brush for each size of a circle I need?

[@colorwithkendi]

Seems like something if off in one of your brush settings - probably related to color or opacity. You should be able to change the size of the stamp without it getting lighter. It’s hard for me to tell you what setting it could be without looking at the brush settings. You could email me the brush and I could take a look. My email is on my website.

Hello! I have a quick question. I recently got around to buying a 2nd gen apple pencil. Today I connected it and tried it out in procreate. I noticed that no matter which brush I selected(at 100% size), it was displaying as a thin line. I would have to set the pressure to 0 under apple pencil. Have you ever heard of this happening?

[@colorwithkendi]

So sorry - I haven’t heard of anything like this. Do you have any other app that you can test the Apple Pencil in? Like GoodNotes or Notability or another art app? That way you can figure out if the issue is with the Apple Pencil itself or if it is an issue with Procreate.

[@raggedmeadows]

Is my pen broken ? Using basic brushes like round painting brush etc I can’t get the pressure sensitivity to work right, the line comes out as the same thickness/darkness whether I press lightly or hard no matter how I adjust my pressure graph - also tried individual brush settings.. and I tried changing the tip

[@colorwithkendi]

Do you have an Apple Pencil or another stylus? Sounds like there is an issue with the stylus itself and that’s why Procreate isn’t able to sense the changes in pressure. Have you tried using your stylus in any other drawing program like Photoshop on the iPad? Do you still have this issue in those programs? If you do, then it seems like you will need to get the stylus fixed.

Hi, when I outline my drawings and I want to extend my canvas the size of my pen line changes. It never happened before. I understand it has to change in a certain way but it’s supposed to stay true size with what I’m doing? Please help!

[@colorwithkendi]

I’m not sure I fully understand. Can you film a short video on your phone to show me? You can email me.

My pencil pro has a problem. I don't see the black color on a white background, or very transparant through only ticking with the pencil. But when I used my finger its blacker than black? Last week I buy the apple Ipad air 13 inch and the apple pencil pro for the first time. Please can you help me?

[@colorwithkendi]

I would suggest contacting Apple Support. I don’t have any experience with the Apple Pencil Pro. I use the second gen version.

[@maryzopfi9730]

@colorwithkendi yes I did that and now it works. I had to restart the I-pad and then the pencil works. Thank you

[@cathyaitken2794]

May I ask where you got the grip for you Apple Pencil?

[@colorwithkendi]

I got it from Amazon - it’s from a brand called Uppr.

I tried fixing the Sticky Brush problem and it didn’t work:( it works on the preview brush test panel, but not on the main canvas. Is there like a main override option?

[@colorwithkendi]

Turn stabilization off under Pressure and Smoothing. To get there, go to the wrench icon and tap on Prefs and then go go Pressure and Smoothing.

I know this isn’t really the topic under this vid, but I need an immediate help with finding my lost brush of my own on Procreate, I don’t know where Do I find the recently deleted folder to recover it if it’s even possible, any suggests?

[@colorwithkendi]

Hello. From my understanding, it's not possible to recover lost brushes once they have been deleted. Lost Procreate files can be recovered if you have them automatically backed up on iCloud but I don't think that applies to brushes. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen a way to recover lost brushes.

I got my 2nd gen today and it works all well and good, but I don’t understand why it’s not really working with procreate, despite me changing the settings, the pressure setting doesn’t seem to work I don’t think and the tilt doesn’t work that much and I’m super confused,, you can’t even see the brush strokes unless I change the settings of each brush, maybe I’m just being dumb cause I have no idea what I should be doing💀

[@colorwithkendi]

Just to confirm, it is indeed the second generation and not the new USB-C Apple Pencil which was released last year?

[@ddtc2010]

My studio pen is very thick when I use it, the slider is at the very bottom, how do I thin out the brush please?

[@colorwithkendi]

You can watch my video on how to reduce the maximum size of a brush: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqPUo6CKjJ6DbZo

[@colorwithkendi]

Instead of increasing the size, just decrease it.

[@earljoemaritolentino7777]

I have a problem in sticky brush, and I tried what you’ve done on your video but sadly nothings change in my brush 😢 would you please help me.

[@colorwithkendi]

Is this happening to all brushes or just one particular brush? Let me know and I can tell you what it could be depending on your answer.

[@spaula1114]

My problem is that i want to have lines same width but while i resize canvas to see better the brush will be different size... like when you draw on full size its bigger when you go closer and make same line with same pressure its lighter, how to change that?

[@colorwithkendi]

Go to the wrench icon and then to Prefs and change the dynamic brush scaling setting.

[@cosmickaero]

thank you!!

[@ameliag2766]

I still have 1 more problem… whenever I draw a line it like disappears like when I try and colour something in it just undoes what I have done

[@colorwithkendi]

Does it happen every time or only sometimes? It could be that you are accidentally touching the undo button at times.

[@sunshinejenny777]

What Apple Pencil are you using? And what I-Pad?

[@colorwithkendi]

I have a second generation Apple Pencil and my iPad is an iPad Pro from 2021.
