Video Walkthrough
- There are SO many brush options on Procreate, how do you even begin to figure out which one to use?
- Brush settings: the size, the opacity, the color are all to be considered.
- Creating multiple layers allows for a lot more flexibility and changes.
- Play around with many brushes to find one that suits your needs.
- Many brushes have specific textures to them.
- Changing the opacity on an entire layer to do tweaks.
- Draw with the Apple Pencil to get more variety of strokes.
- The Apple Pencil is sensitive to the physical pressure of your lines.
- The physical pressure of your lines is often times faster and easier to adjust rather than changing the size and opacity of the brush.
- Creating layers is a fundamental part of digital painting.
- Merging layers is a helpful tweak.
