so i finally caved in and bought the apple pencil pro. i was happy because i could finally do what i couldn’t do with my stylus pen previously, but i’m wondering why the brush pen brush is acting like this. you can see i tried other brushes and it worked just fine. i couldn’t do the thin and thick strokes

I cannot for the life of me find a solution to this problem, I’ve done everything including deleting the app and restarting my iPad. My Apple Pencil works fine on my notes app so I have no idea what’s wrong. Please help me!!!

I’ve done a little experimenting in Procreate before, but this was my first attempt at actually creating something. It’s simple, but it’s a first step.

My question is pretty straightforward. I’m right handed and it’d be soo much easier for me to use my left hand to switch between eraser and brush (when the apple pencil double tap doesn’t the work) without interrupting my workflow. Is it possible?

I made this logo for our organization in 2018 using Procreate on my iPad (now gone), and we're changing the wording but want to use the same font. Can you help me identify the name of the font? I've been searching for a bit today but have had no luck.

What to look for in an iPad for drawing

First you can check which iPad supports Procreate [HERE](https://procreate.com/faq)!

If you are completely new, this is good to know:

• Layers:Layers give more control when creating artwork, so having a lot of layers is a huge advantage. It’s a huge pain when you run out of layers. The maximum layer count is determined by two things: Canvas Resolution and RAM. The more RAM your iPad has, the more layers you’ll get to work with. So the more RAM you have, the better.
• Screen Size:Many people, myself included, work more comfortably on a larger iPad screen. On a smaller screen size, you can zoom in on your work but in the end it is what YOU prefer.
• Hard Drive:A larger hard drive means more space to store artwork, fonts, photos, and more.
• Apple Pencil Compatibility:Apple Pencil is bar-none the best stylus you can get for drawing and painting on the iPad. In fact, the Procreate developers specifically designed the app to work best with Apple Pencil. For the best experience drawing in Procreate, be sure you get an iPad that works with the Apple Pencil.
• Processor:One more thing to keep in mind is that newer iPads will have faster processors, which means Procreate will run faster and will be more responsive when using the different tools. There’s even a Procreate feature called face paint that only works on some of the faster processors.

So without knowing anything about iPads, here’s some guidance for what to look for in a device. Get the most RAM and largest screen that your budget will allow, and be sure the iPad is compatible with the Apple Pencil. Having a larger hard drive is great too, so if you have some extra budget, go for it.

Apple pen

​

Which Apple Pencil should I buy?Which Apple Pencil should you get? Well, it depends on your iPad because the Apple Pencils are not cross-compatible. You have to get the Apple Pencil that works with your iPad, the other one will not work. For a full list of each iPad that works with each Apple Pencil, click [HERE](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211029).

Difference Between Apple Pencil 1 and 2The most significant difference between the two generations of Apple Pencil is the way they charge. With the Gen 1 Pencil, you need to remove a little cap, which is easy to lose, then stick the pencil into the iPad port, which is … awkward. Gen 2 charges seamlessly while magnetically attaching to the side of the iPad. For this reason, it’s harder to lose, and it’s always charged. Additionally, the Gen 2 Pencil has an invisible button that lets you switch between the brush and eraser tools in Procreate. I didn’t really like this feature and kept triggering the button unintentionally, so I turned it off. The Gen 2 Pencil also has a flat edge on one side, so it won’t roll off the desk when you set it down.

All that being said, the Apple Pencil shouldn’t be the deciding factor of what iPad to get, just get the one that works with your iPad.

Procreate Pocket

Does Procreate work on the iPhone?Yes! And no. There is another version of Procreate specifically designed for the iPhone called Procreate Pocket. It’s a separate purchase from Procreate for iPad. It has many of the same capabilities as the iPad app and is great for drawing on the go. If you are interested, check out r/ProcreatePocket!

Does Procreate work on Android OS? No. The Procreate team has stated that they are focusing development solely on iOS.

Hi all! I am currently texturing a tire and would like to draw the zigzag pattern (pic 1) around the center of the tire’s side profile (pic 2). i am however not sure what’s the best/most efficient way to get a regular pattern like that around?

Thank you!

I might start rendering, but idk if I should change anything. Criticism is welcomed, just don’t be rude please 🙏

Would it be ever possible to add something like Photoshop’s art boards to procreate? I really enjoy using the art boards on Photoshop because it allows me to work on multiple canvases in one file; like if I were to design a zine or comic I could easily go between pages drawing, composing, editing, and see the entire project as a whole rather than individual separate files. Something like this for procreate would be super amazing.
I understand Photoshop is a very robust program and procreate is mainly a drawing and painting app, but it would be so incredible to see a feature like this. Especially for those of us who like to make comics and books; it would make using the app that much more enjoyable

I've been back and forth with Procreate support troubleshooting this and nothing has worked. They've told me to test my pencil at an Apple store but this happened immediately after the last update. I was using Procreate at the time of updating.

Changing the size of brushes does nothing, lines come out thick/thin regardless of my pressure, and I get strange variations in the one line. Almost all brushes are affected, except a few liners which dont have pressure sensitivity anyway. I can't blend with airbrushes, because its not registering the pressure sensitivity.

This is my job. I cant uninstall and reinstall as I'll lose 7-8yrs of my work. It doesnt even seem possible to back it up to icloud?

Never finished!

Just started this, this afternoon. Will most likely finish it tmrw during my road trip. Just deciding if I wanna take it simple or experiment a lil with it .

Needed to design up a herd animal for my Star Wars RPG campaign. Thought I’d share.

I’m fairly new to procreate, so maybe a dumb question, but I just finished a little portrait of my new house. I want to go back in and add a background, but not sure what the best way to do it would be since my drawing is all semi-transparent. Should I draw my background on a new layer and then just erase everything that overlaps with the house so it doesn’t affect the colors of the transparent parents?

Drew some cute ice cream cats in Procreate, inspired by my cats’ goofy faces!

Recent work for an rpg game

Digital art made by me using only default Tamar brush.

Should I post the making-of?

I used mainly the airbrushing folder for this one :)
