Are you having trouble drawing smooth lines in Procreate? In today's video, I walk you through the different techniques I use, my canvas and brush settings, as well as some exercises you can do to draw smoother lines!
*EDIT: The brush featured in this video was something I originally found on the forums that I have since stopped using after making my own brushes from scratch (which is what is in the brush pack for sale in the video description.) I know the original poster had pulled the download file for that brush (not sure if it was ever reposted.) I also had made so many adjustments to that one that people didn’t realize they would have to do the same and it caused a lot of confusion. My cartoon brush pack features all the brushes I currently use with all of the settings already fine tuned and ready to go (there is one in there similar to the one in this video but is actually so much better.) Hope this helps!

Let me know in the comments what you would like to see covered in upcoming episodes...you might see your idea come to life!
When I was a growing up in the 50’s I was never able to hold my pencil the proper way like you and others that I’ve been observing. And I remember being taught the correct way to use my arm like you mentioned. For some reason none of the correct techniques felt comfortable for me. I wonder if there are others with this issue like me. I was never able to draw. I think it might be to late for me. I’m fascinated by people’s ability to draw because I’ve always wanted to. I also think artists have an ability to see things differently. Anyway I enjoy watching your talent.
Not sure....maybe more practice/retraining to get that comfort level? Regardless-thanks for watching!!! I appreciate it!!!
linda1541 drawing is a craft like most things. Just as a person learns to lay bricks, bake a cake, or learn a variety of things, drawing is the same. Just constant practice and learning. You will develop a style and be just as good as anyone with an imagination
darshia33 Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement ❤️
No this isn't true! I've NEVER held my pencil properly. I still hold it weird! The best thing to practice is to be really confident in your brush/pencil strokes.
Alice absolutely. knowing which stroke direction is your strongest is the best way to do drawings. A lot of artist constantly turn the page in a way that they can use their favorite stroke direction
This is the most useful video about clean line art in Procreate! Thank you!
Great to hear...thanks so much!
E????

I’m not an expert, I just got a pencil for my iPad because I like to doodle, but I really start to love it with Procreate. You’re definitely an awesome channel to learn and get better. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Have fun with Procreate....it is a great app!!!
Phew. The new update makes it difficult to figure this stuff out and you’re so far the best ‘instructor’ out there. It’s all about testing what works or not but dang is it a lot for a beginner, haha.
Keep at it!
This video saved my sanity. I just started digital art after years of traditional, and not being able to make the marks I wanted to on my iPad had me wondering if I had forgotten how to draw. 😆
I was about to give up. I knew there had to be a simple way to adjust something or the other, but I had no idea where to look and what to adjust.
Thanks a lot man.
Helpful info included. What helped me enormously was to draw with syrup, too. Amazing difference in straightness of lines.
It's really easy to get crazy and HATE procreate with so many adjustments... As a fashion designer that is used to sketch on paper and pencil its really confusing. THANK YOU for taking the time to explain to US. We really appreciate it. I am digesting all this with less stress with your videos !
We are grateful you take time from your human experience to connect with many of us together.
Thanks
I haven’t even finished the video, but I’ve already learned so much about brush settings! I didn’t even know I was looking to adjust maximum size, but I absolutely was and I’m so happy I fixed it. Coloring will be so much faster. :D I’m sure I’ll learn about inking, too.
I did learn about inking! Brush settings and hand position will make a big difference.
So great to hear! Super glad I could provide some valuable information! Thanks for watching!!!
I’ve been a hand illustrator for yeearrss but recently got an iPad air along with procreate so far I’m enjoying my experience thank you so much for sharing theses videos dubbed, to any artist that hasn’t gone digital yet or are still on the fence in regards to purchasing an iPad Air for procreate try this out you will not regret it, I don’t think I’m gonna go back to pen and paper anymore after experiencing this 😃
Probably one of the most helpful videos I have watched
idk if you’ll see this but i think its really cool that outside your own merch you also added a list of your gear you use for youtube as well as your ipad accessories.
Thanks! I constantly get those types of questions, so thought it might be helpful for some!
That last recolor tip is so helpful for me!! Thank you!
Thank you Bee jay!!!!!! I learn so much watching your videos!
I am dying for a stroke stabilizer like PS and most other tools have, but your advice on not dragging your palm was helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Best videos on procreate . Thank you .
Literally just requested this on another video!! lol Subscribed! Love the channel!!
Thanks so much for your brushes all the other brushes I have downloaded come out pixelated I tried EVERYTHING I was glad to spend only $5 on these little miracles
This was very helpful! This is definitely going to jumpstart my transition to digital art.
Awesome! Glad to help!
Your vids are the best for tutorials like this was one of the best tutorials for drawing straight lines thanks for doing this vid if you never did it would never know how to draw straight lines
You are a wonderful soul. Thank you so much. You saved me. Very clear video. Thank you.
Thanks!!! 👍👍👍
So timely! I have been watching a lot of your videos and have scoured the comments sections looking for where you address this...so stoked to have access to this content! Your videos are really helping me to hone my illustration skills and to get the best out of my Apple Pencil and the Procreate app! Thanks man, really appreciate you! :)
Thanks for the feedback-means a lot! Appreciate you watching!
Wow! Thank you so much for making this! You're awesome.
canngo123 Thanks! Hope it helps!!!
Love the way you explain things in detail. Now that you no longer use this free brush and have made your own, what are the chances of you making a new video like this one that's up to date with the current version of the app?
ive tried to make clean line drawings but when i zoom into the lines they end up being jagged, so can you make a video on how to make one of your brushes for clean line art
It is probably going have less to do with the brush and more with your canvas size. I usually use a 4500x5400 canvas....if you use a small canvas, your lines will look jagged when zooming.
Use a bigger res lol
@@ssxxxss what’s that

That is purely resolution. More pixels is all you need
I really like watching your videos 😄
Thank you for this tutorial 👏🏻✨
Thank you! I love that brush you shared with us!
It's really good...wish I made it, lol!
Thank you for sharing your great videos, you are one of my favorites!
Awww...thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Definitely a helpful video. The biggest thing here is probably the screen protector. Not having the pencil sliding around like a hockey puck is just so damn helpful.
For sure- the screen protector works wonders!
thank you for this.
omg thank you so much! i appreciate the brushes just purchased them and I thought they were brushes for drawing but they are actually pieces of drawings I love this saved me so much time haha :)
Great Great video... Im still working on my iPhone with a Bamboo stylist pen. I still work hard and follow your videos. So far I have made the chicken and carrot all on my phone.... Its hard working on my phone but im hoping one day to get an iPad. Thanks for everything you do...
Robert Jones Thanks Robert...I appreciate it! You will love the iPad once you get one!
Many thanks again sir. This will help so much.
All the best with your profile mate its come in so handy.
Glad to help!
Fantastic! Great tips
This helped me SO much! Thanks
thank you man!!!, you help me a lottt❤
Love your videos!
Luv yer work. Helping to inspire me to delve into digital illustration. I didn't see the link for the free Natural Inker 1 brush. Am I missing something? Thank you in advance.
this Video helped me, thank you
Great video and an absolute blast watching you draw. I’ve found that placing my hand higher on the Apple Pencil than I would a regular pencil helps a great deal.
Right on! I always love seeing how people hold their pencils differently!
i love your videos! can we get an updated settings view for 5! i know you haven't changed yours but they probably show differently in the new brush editor
Thanks! More Procreate videos in the works!
Thank you for your help!😊Finally got it
👍👍👍
Oh my gosh. Thank you!
Where do I find the natural ink brush?
Thank for this Ausome video!
I can't find the free natural inker brush in the description!
Can you tell me how can l get it ,pleaaase?
Where is the brush link at? I only see your brush links.. isn't this supposed to be a Procreate brush to download ? Thanks!
This is the only reason I haven't used procreate and im so glad you're making this
Thank you for the tutorial. Which link is the natural inker brush?
I can’t find the natural inker brush in the description can you help?
where the inker link ?
Thans for all. Greetings from Istanbul.
Bro this screen protector is dope
It makes a world of difference! Glad you are enjoying it!
I cant find the link to the natural inker brush... is there anyway you could reply to my comment with the link?
www.dropbox.com/s/mvk8ijy342b922h/Natural_inker.brush?dl=0
Liam Lawrence thank you
Same question, can someone Helu with the link pls 😢
Serious question that might come across wrong: does this not hinder your growth as an artist? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just practice your line work until you are good at it? What I mean is if you have an ai constantly fixing your mistakes then you can never learn from your mistakes. Apologies if that sounds rude, I'm just curious about the impact it has.
No…I’m pretty good at my line work traditional or digital…no app is going to do the work for you without an initial amount of talent. Feel free to compare your work.
@@BeeJayDeL yeah since asking this I've been toying with procreate and I find it is actually an interesting test of foundational skills. It's very interesting.
Just got an ipad pro and apple pencil and subscribed after watching a couple videos.
Awesome! Enjoy the new iPad and thanks for watching!
Where do I find the Natural Inker 1 brush???
I have the same question
That was great! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
Thank you 🙏
Very useful video thankyou
can you talk about blur in photoshop to make smooth lines to any doc?
I'm gonna have to try this. One of my biggest gripes about procreate is the lack of a true native stability tool. Streamline just doesn't work for my drawing style. I'm curious if this wrist adjustment will help.
I only use streamline for those huge swooping curves that take up a large part of the canvas...I prefer having it off usually.
What pen in your pick is the natural inker pen?
The new update made it impossible to make this so I went to gumroad and it’s not free so I’m really sad now :(
Excellent Video!
Thanks!!! ❤️
Is that the misfits t-shirt your wearing just finished binging on all 5 series sorry great to see how you move your hand really helps a lot
Yup.... Misfits! Appreciate you watching!
Heeelllpp....the best screen protector for the new ipad 8 model? Thanks! Love the video by the way :)
Matte screen protector
I love your explanations. Just what I was looking for. Where have you been all this time ? 🤗
Does this brush still work and safe to download in procreate 5.1?
....So which brush in your pack is comparable to the Natural Inker 1 [no longer available]? Also wondering if any of the settings for your brush have to be adjusted (i.e. to attempt the line-work in your video), or can I use as is? Thanks.
Standard inker is my custom go to (followed by Bold Inker for bigger strokes.) All settings are intact and ready to go-no adjustments needed!
I cant seem to find the brush in your description
Hey!! We have the same pfp シ
@@futurlvvrr wow yeah we do noice
@@pokeart2261 yeee
@@futurlvvrr i loooove eri she so cute !
@@pokeart2261 ikr!! Shes adorable!!
hi where can I find the free brush that you use?
Hi I’m colour dropping in shapes but the colour is covering the whole canvas . I am using the monoline pens for the outlines. Please help !
Very neat draw a line keep up great job :D
Another informative video! thanks!!
Glad to help! Thanks!!!!! 👍❤️
Awesome!! Thanks again.
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this great video! Could you give me the name of the screen protector you use please? Best wishes Sean
I just started watching your videos and got me to draw again 😊 but I'm having trouble finding the inker brush for procreate can you repost the link thank you
hi can you do a update on this video the settings are diffrent on the Procreate for 2020
Its not about the settings. Its about the skill. Good artists make smooth line with almost any brush
Where is the free brush you mentioned?
where do i find the natural inker brush
When I draw my lines look like they are made up of squares and I really want it to be nice smooth lines plz can I have a bit of advice? Thank you
Try adjusting the canvas size and/or resolution ❤️
I love the syrup brush but I hate the edges, any very similar brush you recommend?
Tbh I’d just take the technical pen and use the syrup brushes settings
Is there an easy way to change the dpi and canvas to correct the jagged lines without having to redo several hours and several pages worth of work?
Where is the inking brush
Is there an updated version for the brush settings they’ve changed a lot and I can’t seem to get the inker settings quite like yours
Muchas gracias !!!
I was getting so irritated about the side of my hand getting caught on the screen, and you explained it perfectly.
Where’s the link to natural inker brush?
I don’t see a link to this free brush in the description
great one! tnx! were can get the brush - natural inker 1 ?
Thank you for the video! Any chance you can give us same brush set up for Procreate 5?
I do not see the link for the natural inker brush.
Am I missing the link for the Natural Inking brush, or is it no longer available?
That was a brush that was something I originally found on the forums that I have since stopped using after making my own brushes from scratch (which is what is in the brush pack for sale in the video description.) I know the original poster had pulled the download file for that brush (not sure if it was ever reposted.)

So I have a bad ass drawing I’ve already done of Wednesday, I used the Baskerville brush, but it’s very pixelated line work, is there anyway within procreate to smooth the lines after it’s done?
What kind of iPad are you using in this video? I have an iPad 9th generation
Great video. Thanks much. Cannot download the brush. Message is that software caused an abort. I have second gen ipad pro and Procreate so not sure why.
Weird...have not seen that before. Did you go to the forum and click on the direct link?
What is your advice for someone who is using another iPad which obviously does not allow for Apple Pencil?
Honestly, it is going to be hard to do a lot of the stuff I do in these videos without an Apple Pencil. The pressure sensitivity is how I achieve the look and feel of most of these lines. I would really try and upgrade to one that allows for the pencil. Not sure if you saw my other "What iPad Should You Buy For Art" video, but I break down the differences and buying recommendations in there.
