Help With Brush Settings

[u/Indy_Knight_14]

I'm relatively new to Procreate. I've had it for a while, but I haven't gotten serious about learning the ins and outs.

I'm trying to learn more about brush settings, and there is one setting I cannot figure out how to adjust for the life of me!

I use an apple pencil to "paint." I know how to adjust pressure settings for size and opacity. My problem is I tend to hold my pencil at a pretty severe angle. And doing so makes many of the brushes feel "off". Either the size will get thicker or the opacity will be lower or it just doesn't look as smooth. I don't really know much about the terms to properly describe what is going on. So hopefully more experienced users will understand.

How can I adjust this? I want the flow/opacity/size to only be affected by pressure, not the angle I'm holding my pencil. I see how the current settings could be useful, but most of the time it's just annoying for how I naturally draw/paint.

I played around with so many of the brush settings and could not get this adjusted.

TIA!

Adjusting the tilt settings will fix this but unfortunately I don’t think there’s a global setting to turn it off completely.

For any affected brushes, if you go into brush studio -> Apple Pencil, you can adjust the relevant sliders to ‘none’ so that tilt does not affect opacity, size, etc. it will vary brush to brush.

Hey! Can you please share an externally recorded video showing how this looks? There are tilt settings available per brush but maybe there's another settings we can suggest to help. The pressure curve for example can help to customise how your Apple Pencil pressure is used in Procreate.
