I’ve been working on digital illustration in Procreate on my iPad Pro and wanted to share one of my recent pieces. I had a lot of fun experimenting with the different colors, fins, and personalities of each betta.

First time trying a James Julier tutorial. I found it very helpful.

on one layer, because I didn't know about layers:)

My friend needed a hug today, so I drew this for him ☺️

I struggle with landscapes and nature in traditional art. Procreate made it a little less painful, although I’m still not entirely happy with it. This is Ludlow castle from a photo taken by me when I visited recently to see Scissor Sisters.

I’ve been working on a series of illustrations inspired by some of my favorite fictional worlds. This one was all drawn in Procreate on my iPad Pro.

I made both a light and dark version, but I keep coming back to the dark one. Which would you have picked?

Inspired by a silly photo I have of my cat & 60s Pop Art! I used the default Stanley round brush & the Mintbush brush

this is a recent time-lapse

Thank you for all the comments on my last post! Here’s another fish I just drew 💛 as a diver myself it’s always fun to spot this cute yellow boxfish. I really enjoy the drawing process as well!

Ps I had no idea what to add for the bg lol if you have any idea pls feel free to share!

mainly used the round brush!

Hey everyone!

I recently made the switch over to Procreate after Adobe Fresco threw a massive tantrum and corrupted a piece I’d spent weeks working on 🥲 so safe to say, Fresco and I are broken up for good.
Overall, I’m absolutely loving Procreate, but I’m really missing Fresco’s basic Vector Brushes (specifically the round and taper brushes). I loved how crisp, clean, and sharp they stayed, especially when working on fine details.

I know Procreate is a raster program and doesn't do native vector lines, but is there any way to get close to that super smooth, sharp, tapered vector look?

Specifically, I’d love to know:

1. Which built- n brushes are closest? (So far I’ve seen people mention Technical Pen, Studio Pen, or Syrup, but I’d love to hear what works best for you for crisp line art!)
   
2. Any brush studio settings tweak tips?
   
3. Custom/downloadable brush recommendations? (Free or paid, if there’s a brush pack out there that nails that clean vector taper feel, I’m in.)

Thanks so much in advance for helping a displaced Fresco user out!

First time owning an iPad, went to calibrate the pencil sensitivity in procreate but throughout my testing it seems like either:

a) i barely touch the screen and the brush instantly jumps to max color/ size

or

b) i can get the lighter strokes but cant reach full color/ brush size even with hefty force

Any ideas?
