It's perfect don't change!

[@fakecubed]

It's actually a great term to use in this context. Unusual, maybe, but very descriptive and feels accurate.

Thanks for making this! I wasn’t sure what i was going to use and having a professional artists input really helped. Thanks!

[@BinglesP]

Tysm, I wanted to find out the best brushes without downloading any custom ones, so this guide is nice to have(especially since it’s a free-to-watch KZbin art tutorial that isn’t boring).

[@CliveO1515]

This is so great! I'm just getting ready to dive into Procreate. Wading through all of the brushes was somewhat intimidating. This was very helpful.

[@georgem.6076]

Love how you can switch styles and make it look so easy.

[@VVesteria]

Every drawing that I make is a completely different style

[@chitarralove]

This was extremely helpful! I needed someone to just show me the different brushes because there really is a million of them!

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey guys! Sorry, Thanks to your comments I realized that the Flat Marker doesn't come by default with Procreate, and I actually don't know where did I get it. Sorry, hope you find the other brushes useful

[@siimplydemi3572]

Lucas Peinador I got procreate and I got it and I didn’t get any other brushes that was the brush I first used

[@MissDeadBones]

This is why you should read comments. Ive didnt understand why it wasnt on my Procreate. Its frustrating That you dont know where you got it, cause you seemed so happy with it, haha. Anyway great video Edit: and i should read better, the link the super cool dude shared works and i now have it. Thanks,

[@rosaerivas395]

Lucas Peinador Loved your video! I’m new to procreate but mine did come with the flat marker.

[@lynnmason475]

Thanks for the brush suggestions. I was fascinated by how you used of your right thumb to alter brush on the fly. That is a technique that's unique to digital --using two hands to draw is something that I'm going to work on.

[@arvinsim]

Went here eager to to explore new brushes. Ended up trying to recreate your examples :D

[@Anyathekoala]

@@LucasPeinador Sorry to reply to one of your comments but I was wondering would the spectra be best for coloring with color on it? If not what would be? Sorry again I am just trying to improve my art so I can hopefully be successful in my future

[@alicemartpia]

thank you so much for recommending the spectra brush!! It’s exactly what I need! I have been struggling with brush for a long time, this video saves me!

[@Jade-cs6mm]

I just found your channel through this video, and my god I'm so thankful. I really appreciate all the time and effort gone into your videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@TheAseanPrince]

Thank you for sharing! It's so helpful for someone like me trying to start learning how to illustrate digitally for the first time. Love from Singapore~😄

[@geese-ette.6599]

I like using the dry ink pen in shades of brown for my lineart! I love the soft feel it gives :))

Can you do a tutorial about smudging brushes/which you use/how to create a good smudge brush? Great vid!

[@Tashiboss]

[@LucasPeinador]

Hahahaha I can imagine, everyone else probably with the new ones right!?

[@Tashiboss]

@@LucasPeinador Yes lol D:

[@paperplanenomad]

Great recommendations! It's always interesting to see what brushes other people favour. I love the Spectra, Gloaming and Chalk ones too! I also like using the Chalk one to draw thread/embroidery detail or whatever especially if there's a bit of gold thread in there. Thanks for sharing!

[@sx8px]

KZbin actually been reading my mind. Thanks for the helpful video!!

[@LucasPeinador]

Glad you found it useful Chilly!

Nah ur not LOL

[@iam_sherlocked8421]

haha, I kinda stick to that one brush as well :D

[@BinglesP]

Yeah, even when I have bookmark folders for the ones I like with notes for what-goes-where, I still tend to only use Ink Bleed at 75% Opacity I just love the fuzz

[@ghostknight_vr]

Yeah I mostly use procreate pencil and studio pen

[@fxguidetips]

Very helpful thank you so much for sharing this!

[@LucasPeinador]

Very glad it was helpful! Thanks to you for checking it out :)

[@JDHines-iw5qd]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@michelleodonnell]

Thank you for all the great info! I've been trying to get back into drawing in general, and have been trying to get used to Procreate. It's tempting to get more brushes beyond the default ones, but 1) that's expensive, and 2) I'd rather not worry about license agreements/fees for those. Seeing you put the various default brushes really helps to see what's what! :-)

[@createdshocked4700]

I got similar problem :) Just got back to drawing and I started from making animation of Apple logo but I really wanted to do those things what I've done on paper normally. Paying for brushes to someone who just licked a bit of procreate isn't the best thing cause they are pretty expensive for me too.

[@fakecubed]

I use the artistic brushes to just have fun! I'll doodle for a while, maybe draw some abstract shapes or play with color, and then something will come to me and I'll end up drawing something pretty amazing. It can be sloppy and filled with happy accidents, just like traditional media, but that's part of its charm.

[@vickyengler21]

do you have an instagram with your art? would love to look at it😄

If you see this the flat marker isn’t a default brush but, the HB pencil at full size works well like the flat marker. Edit: Another good brush is the flat square which is brush that is downloaded at jingsketch

[@LucasPeinador]

Thanks for sharing Michael, that's right

Please, do you use the default pressure curve ? I love the skull color !!! Maybe you can make a tuto for this ? Please 🤞😁

[@simpleman7262]

Hello. How long have you been using this iPad Pro 2017? Does it not have the infamous bright spot 2 inches above the home button?

[@telephassarose3501]

Thank you very much for this...it saves me much work experimenting. Regarding ‘Artistic’ some of these have been just great for what I am doing, so it all depends upon the project. However I usually copy them & customise them in some way. Have you any suggestions for a soft pencil that is still very fine & not black? Procreate’s ‘fine line’ is pixelated when really fine & doesn’t hold the fill in colour. I agree about texture...personally I avoid it & don’t like it. Better to add later if wanted.

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Rose, maybe the Technical Pencil from the Inking category will fit what you are looking for

[@telephassarose3501]

Lucas Peinador yes I usually do use this! Maybe I will duplicate it & tweak it a little....

can you please do a tutorial on how to blend with the soft airbrush . or the best way to blend . trying to paint and elephant and can't get the blend and shading right

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Lobo, yes, I would love to make a tutorial about this, but probably it is going to take me a while. For now, I can recommend you what I use. Almost any random brush with scattering activated. Use the smudge with this brush and you are set

[@hakamsoufan]

its good to know before i buy the iPad .. thank you 10/10 .. i like procreate app ..

[@CelestialxPanda]

Hey! Have you tried the Boxxy Brush in Clip Studio Paint ? Can you or someone please make a video on how to recreate that brush exactly in procreate please? Including it's properties?

Hello! I'm not even close to get an ipad, do you know to can I setup my smudge tool in photoshop to get similar result than in procreate? It's too rough and I'm not able to get some delicate "blur" and I really don't like the airbrush brushes... ug
