ProCreate is probably my favorite drawing app I’ve ever used! Some tips I have are brushes! You can find free brushes online or paid brush packs, I could send links to some of my favorite packs if you’re interested! There’s a lot of really nice brushes for whatever style you want out there and there’s a lot of really nice traditional looking brushes as well that add bleeding effects and staining and all that if you’re looking to do digital art that mimics traditional.

Don’t be afraid to play around with the program!! Look through all the brushes, and even the free brushes you can download from procreate itself. For page size, you can set up your own defaults for templates if there’s specific sizes you want. So like for me I have a template set up for a default comic page size with borders, I have an hd horizontal and vertical page for commissions/backgrounds, and a hd square for when I’m making icons. When you’re in your project you should be safe to rest your hand on your tablet as you use your pen and it won’t track, so you don’t need to worry about your hand making the pen go all over the page. The sliders on the side of the page (I think they default to the left) the top slider is for your brush side and the bottom slider is for the opacity. You can click on the little square between the sliders and it’ll bring up a color select wheel that works kinda like how an eye dropper tool would work in other drawing apps.

Oh!! A big one is layer opacity! If you want to mess with the opacity of a full layer, you should be able to go to your layer select and with two fingers, tap on a layer. You’ll see at the top of the page Opacity: 100% with a blue bar spanning across the screen underneath it. To change the opacity, just use your finger or pen to drag across the screen and you’ll see it change! When you find a opacity you like, I normally just back out by tapping the pen select or tapping the layer select again.

If you need anything else lemme know!! I love helping people with procreate honestly!😁😊

Of course!!

So for comic stuff, I use a comic kit you can find here. Everything on that page explains it all really well but it comes with comic specific inking brushes as well as page templates, panels, screen tones and all of that. Really useful if you want to get into doing comics entirely in procreate and have them formatted already for a default comic-book size pages. If I remember correctly there’s a free version and a paid version. With the paid version you get a few more page templates, speech bubbles, I think a font or two, more screen tones, and a couple more brushes.

Probably my favorite brush set I use for commissions is Mariamizuerts free brush set here. Really nice, soft brushes. I normally use the “Colouring (detailing)” for my base coloring on projects because it’s really soft and you can slowly build it up. All of these brushes work really well for detailing skin textures too. Some also work well as blenders too!

There’s some good brush sets here if you’re into textured brushes. I personally have a lot of the inking sets that I use for more dramatic concept art and sketches. A lot of them are more on the heavy side, but if you use the textured backgrounds in procreate, they bleed really well it looks really close to how ink bleeds on a page. There’s some good water color sets in there too! Some of the sets are free and some are a few bucks, definitely worth looking through!

If you’re looking for textured stamp brushes, Di’s brushes is definitely the place to look! They have a lot of bundles with a ton of stamp brushes. I don’t see the specific bundle set I got but I use her space brushes a lot when I’m doing galaxy/space backgrounds. Specifically all of the space dust/space cloud brushes, I’ll turn down the opacity and slowly build them up with different colors and all that. Plus they’re fun to play with!

I also know I got some of the free and paid for brush sets through procreate and from the App Store but I can’t find exactly which ones I have because it looks like they’re apart of the default brushes. Some of my favorite brushes though that I think is default is in the the texture brush category, the brush called “Texture” I use a lot as the starting paint for painting and coloring sketches. I just really like how it looks and have it at a low opacity and building it up adds a nice airy like texture I really like. And a lot of the brushes in Artistic are really nice and textured, I like to use them to add texture and a more dynamic feel to painted pieces I do.

I think that’s it as far as my favorite brushes/bundles go!! If you end up like me with a bunch of brush sets you don’t use much, you can move the brush categories in the brush select drop down. I move the packs I use the most to the top so they’re easier to get too. To move ‘em you just gotta go to the brush select drop down, tap and hold the pack you wanna move then you’ll be able to drag it where you want!! 😁😁
