I saw Barrel Roll on the thumbnail and “DO A BARREL ROLL” played in my head 😂
This can't be a coincidence.
“Arch leap and DO A BARREL ROLL!”
This 😂
Ok apple needs to do a 24 inch ipad so i can throw photoshop out of the window. This is amazing.
Tbh yes, the only thing that keeps me
The eyedropper tool was already there
Thank you so very much for this excellent instructional video. I’ve been “fussing” with the recently updated Procreate and my Apple Pencil Pro but did not know about all of these options/settings. This video is a great time saver. Thanks for your clear and easy to understand teaching technique.
So much fun stuff to try! Thank you for explaining everything so well ❤
Nice video, but Procreate, ya couldn't give us a cool tool picker and brush sizer/opacity slide like the Notes app has? What a bummer!-that, would have saved a ton of time!
That WOULD be so cool! Their current version of this is the Quick Menu, but it's not nearly as intuitive and visual as the Notes app one. But you should totally suggest this on Procreate forum - they absolutely do pay attention to user suggestions: folio.procreate.com/discussions/3
If you're referring to the pre-selected sizes of brushes, you can hold down on the opacity or the size bar, or I believe you can also press the plus in the square that appears, to create a snap point. So you can set those sizes up and go back to them each time.
If there is a feature you want, just ask Procreate themselves! They will listen if enough people suggest it. :)
@MrnoobodyX3. That has existed from 2 updates ago. Not really taking advantage of the new pro pencil.
Fantastic video, now I’m going to check out your course. Thank you!
Oh wow! I didnt even notice there was a update! Currently i only have a apple pencil gen 2 so i will see how many work with this
FYI the new Apple Pencil pro only works with the new iPad 🫤
@@Dash-si3enthey never said anything abt the apple pencil pro ?
Great video, I found if to be extremely helpful! Thank you for providing it!!
Thank you
Brilliant tysm!!
Amazing. Lots to play with
Thanks!
Very useful video🙏💜
Thanks Brooke. You are extremely clear and easy to follow in your presentations (ex teacher maybe ?) Great info that would have taken me ages to even discover. Thanks again.
Thanks! Haha, I'm a current teacher - I teach online classes on how to draw and run a business as an artist. :) It's really encouraging to hear that it's easy to understand and follow along, thank you!
Great video!
Ok this was some great info, I don’t even have the squeeze yet but still learned something new from your tips and tricks! Thanks for being a light in the art community! 😊❤
Yes! I showed Kai something new! ;) Thank you for being a bright light in the community and comments!
@@BrookeGlaser you’re so sweet! Haha, thank you!
I knew somthing was off yesterday when my procrate was acting kinda werid depending on my hand gestures I was activting new features and had no idea there was an update
I turned off the double tap feature on my "regular" Apple Pencil and suspected that the squeeze feature of the Apple Pencil Pro would have a similar issue of accidents. These gimmicky features end up being turned off because they are annoying haha. Some people will love them, some will hate them.
Same!! I HATE double tap, I have it turned off. It was giving me absolute rage everytime I accidentally erased something and didn't realize it cuz I'd accidentally double tapped. But for squeeze, there's an option to adjust the sensitivity of the squeeze (I go over how I adjusted it at the 1:38 in the video). Once I did that, I stopped accidentally turning it on and I LOVE it.
@@BrookeGlaser I noticed that you were able to make the squeeze feature work for you! Thats great. I can’t afford a new iPad and apple pencil, but it doesn’t seem that I am missing out on much anyway. 🤣
@@iSheree There will always be a new better, shiny, fancier (and likely more expensive) tool. When you're ready to upgrade, I bet there'll be something even better than this!
@@BrookeGlaser exactly hahah! ❤️
So cool a video!
Were those jars in the beginning of the video created with your brush pack?
What is your camera setup for recording the ipad from above?
Really helpful, thanks Brooke! 🙌🏽
Happy to hear it was helpful! :)
That hidden "relative to stroke" reveal is very appreciated!
I also noticed a haptic vibration when I drag a selection.
Yes, you're totally right!! I didn't cover this in the video, but there's some really satisfying haptic vibrations that happen when you use color drop. And also when you're transforming objects (with 'snapping' or 'magnetics' turned on), it'll make this sort of click feeling when it gets lined up. I love it!
This is amazing like working with a physical brush
Right?!? It makes SUCH a big difference to the drawing experience.
Omg I didn’t even notice we finally got the update haha thank you!!
Edit: For some reason the squeeze feature for eyedropper isn’t working :(
Have you updated Procreate? Restarted the app? Restarted your iPad? Unpaired the pencil and started a new pairing? I haven't got the new Apple Pencil so I don't know if its a common issue or just your iPad/pencil.
@@iSheree On the 13” M4 and Procreate seemed to have updated a few days ago..
I actually haven’t tried to unpair or restart, just played with settings and closed apps.. weird because double tap works perfectly and I’m getting the haptic feedback but the eyedropper won’t show.. Will try those things out thank you 😌
If it's not working for you, double check the things listed in 6:29. For me, it wasn't working cuz I needed to update my iPadOS software.
@@BrookeGlaser Ahhh okay makes sense! I haven’t updated because I was concerned about bugs.. I guess I will have to now.. Thanks so much for the response!
@@JJ_Magnificent good luck! Hope you figure it out!
Haven’t these been here ? Besides the squeeze thing
This is awesome!!! I know it wasn't your primary intention, but I had never opened that Gesture Controls panel before, and I found a bunch of other settings that I wanted changed but didn't know how. So thanks haha!!
Awesome! That's the thing about Procreate - it's designed to have the interface not be distracting, so you can just draw. But then there's all these hidden tools and features that you don't realize are there!
Just a heads up, my barrel roll wasn’t working then I found out if you are using a magnetic case like the ESR rebound the magnets messes up the barrel roll. Once I took out the case, barrel roll started working again!
Wow, I had no idea! Good to know!
Fun fact, azimuth, it’s related to navigation, it’s essentially the direction/angle from north on a compass.
Fascinating! I can see why they used that term to describe tilt, it’s a little more specific. Hopefully I didn’t totally butcher the pronunciation!
what there is an update?!
Hardest thing will be to decide what to assign my squeeze function to 😩
Peppy Hare is losing his mind with all these Barrel Roll options
Underrated
I’m in the uk, don’t have these yet
Oh interesting! I know when Procreate Dreams was released, it went out at different times to different countries. This update Procreate version 5.3.10. Fingers crossed you get it soon!
Okaaaaay, I have to try the two finger pinch/one finger slide for size and opacity adjustment. Someday.... :(... (crying in m1 model).
I got at m1 as well. Don’t feel too bad you’re not missing out on much. Squeeze only works a little better than double tap which has never worked well and many people like myself turn it off. Double tap accidentally registers double taps and squeeze does that as well. So it is not as good as having a real button like a Wacom pen does. And I’ve tested the nano texture at the store, it feels exactly like my m1 with an ESR Glass screen protector. Except nano texture scratches way easier. I have one on order but I have to wait a month and a half for it to ship, I’m considering canceling and sticking with my m1. The only feature I’m missing that I’d like is hover and barrel roll so I could accurately practice calligraphy on the iPad Pro.
I mean, let's be real, the M1 iPad is an AMAZING iPad too! There will always be a new, shiny exciting tool. Right now, I don't think there's many brushes that automatically use these new roll features: it'll take some time for brush makers to update or create brushes that full take advantage of these features. It'll all be there when your ready for it! And I'm sure there'll be something to feel FOMO about with the next iPad too, it's never ending, haha!
Is that the new iPad too?
What antivirus software do you use or would recommend for apple iPad?
i don’t think you need antivirus for your iPad! apple already does a really good job with preventing viruses etc., it’s almost impossible to get one if you’re not trying to
It’s not needed. iOS is one of the best most locked down operating systems made for specific hardware out there for consumers. Which can also be its biggest caveats of not being able to do anything on it much outside of apps.
@@TheFutureLooksGrimm but also means that it’s pretty much impossible to get a virus.
Do these new features work with older iPad and Apple Pencil 2 or only in the new m2 air and pro with Apple Pencil pro?
Procreate's adapted some of these features to work with the regular Apple Pencil and some will only work with the Apple Pencil Pro... it's a incredibly nuanced, so I tried to point out throughout the video which ones will work with the regular one
@@BrookeGlaserWhen you’re referring to the ‘regular Apple Pencil’ do you mean Apple Pencil 1st & 2nd Gen, or just 2nd Gen ?
That’s shame that procreate could give an opportunity to make a vector layer and less blur when you resize drawing…
Why Procreate has to torment me by not allowing me to rotate my drawing without blurring my lines 😢 Like... App-wise, is it hard for the software to analyze the pixel or the developers just don't give a damn?? 😂
There are different settings that can adjust how pixels are optimized when rotated or scaled. I can't remember exactly where to setting is, but look up "procreate bi-cubic", as I remember that being one of the options
That's why i use clip studio
I don’t have it..
I’m having a problem with the color drop tool. Even when I click and drag the screen to fill the space it leaves a white circle around what I’m filling in. I’m also using a sharp brush but for some reason it looks blurry after I finish drawing with it. Also when I export the video the size of the exported video is a decent size so I don’t think that the canvas is too small. Any help?
Soooo, you should watch this video, I think it'll help with the problems you mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/8w92OBXvF2I/v-deo.html
Those updates are only for the latest iPad an Pencil. Who can afford to buy a new one every couple of years?
Lots of people
I can technically afford it, but I haven’t upgraded since 2020 because my current stuff works just fine.
Well saving up $130 every *couple* of years isn't a very high commitment to be fair
@@pocarisweat_jp are you speaking of only a Pencil? Because the OP was talking about both an iPad and Pencil.
How do you change the shape of the cursor while you draw? Mine is perpetually a circle.
It's based off the brush you use
@@dogwearingawig Every brush I have used in the procreate app has only shown a circular cursor. Do you know of any that present with the rectangle?
@PapilioMorphoArt huh that's strange, I know the flat brush in painting is rectangular. You can also go into a brush's settings, then shape and click edit, import, source library, and pick a shape you like. Those shapes are the shape your brush and cursor will be
Was "azimuth" always there or did it come with this new update? lol You saved me an entire cost of the new iPad Pro M4.
That function alone made my Pencil 2 still relevant.
Azimuth has always been there, just in a different area. It sort of does the same thing as the barrel roll... but unfortunately, it's just not as natural of a feeling. I think most people will find it difficult to tilt their pencil at an angle and actually draw at the same time and get the same effects - at least I really struggled to. :( I wish it was as good as barrel roll - cuz it's very disappointing the Pro pencil doesn't work with older iPads! But you can always try messing with the tilt settings in the Apple Pencil section to see if you can get it to work better for you.
@@BrookeGlaser thanks for the reply.
I’m new to Procreate and I just started setting my pencil up per your instructions and now every time I touch the pen to the iPad the brush turns white and even if it’s a darker color and I paint with it, it will not actually show the paint and then the brush turns white again. I just made procreate unusable and I’m ready to just give up altogether and trash the app and give up on learning to draw.
That’s a huge reaction, and I sincerely hope you figure out healthy, moderate ways to cope with it or life can get real hard! I recommend you turn things off one by one and test drawing again each time. Worst comes to worst, delete and redownload the app so the settings are refreshed. You don’t HAVE to follow all the changes she’s making in this video - she’s showing new functions and giving advice, but if they’re not helping you get started, there’s no law saying you can’t go back to basics. 😊
@@KukaiTori thx, but i’ve tried that and it still isn’t working. I was being a bit sarcastic, but this all started when I tried following her brush section and even when I get out of that brush and use one of the default brushes, it does the same thing.
My issue is none of my stylists work now 😢
I give up using procreate because of its so confusing bush settings ever
I don’t understand why they hid these features in settings menus and stuff… like why doesn’t it automatically turn on barrel roll?
I thought the same thing! But then I turned on the Shape rotation barrel roll to the Rainbow brush I demo in the video, and it was NOT useful: In that brush, I never want the shape to rotate. I wish I had remembered to demo it in this video, cuz I really felt the same way like 'why didn't they just turn this on'? And then I was like 'ooooh, I don't want this turned on for every brush'.
Wait you can squeeze the pencil?
only the pro pencil
They need to change their pen stability, I hate how it is, I like how other drawing apps have the pen lag behind slightly and it always turns out super smooth, whereas procreates stability always cuts corners and still ends up shaky
You can change that with the brush settings.
give us 3D models- so we can defend ipad pricing😂
I would just turn squeeze off. A gimmick IMHO.
New pencil is fun and cool but for my process it isn’t anywhere near groundbreaking
Well that's really important to know - cuz it saves you a TON of money in having to buy a new iPad and Apple Pencil! 😄 😭💸
@@BrookeGlaser Haha only if I didn’t already get it but I couldn’t resist
How well do you feel squeeze works? I don’t think it works well. Reminds me of double tap which I keep off so it doesn’t keep registering taps. You’d think it’d at least know not to register taps while drawing on the screen.
@TheFutureLooksGrimm the same thing was happening to me!! I HATE double tap, I have it turned off. But once I adjusted the sensitivity of the squeeze (so I had to squeeze harder to activate it) it stopped accidentally turning on. I go over how I adjusted it at the 1:38 in the video.
For me it’s perfect pressure out of the box
Hi! You know? I don't have the squeeze option for Apple pencil, I have the update 17.5.1 on my iPad. Thank you!
There’s an Apple Pencil pro??? Wtf lol
I don't think you need the Pro pencil to utilize Barrel Roll. The options showed up on and work for me and I use a Pencil 2.
ive had this app for years and still dont know shit 😂
Regular Apple Pencil is just a stylus. Even the Pro isn’t any better than the Intuos pen. Why does Apple has so many fans of features that are just standard on other platforms?
Not a big Apple fan but I’ve used multiple pen tablets, mainly screenless before getting my iPad Pro. I’d say the Apple Pencil is pretty polished compared to other solutions (has a couple annoying bugs) but the overall experience is premium especially when paired with the 120hz refresh rate.
Why are using the light themed version of Procreate, are you insane?
Haha, you'll hate to know I also use the light version of UA-cam! No, but for real? Because I want to know that my art will contrast well with Instagram, since Instagram has a light background.
No one's talking about it because you need to pay thousand of dollars just to use that pathetic feature
For sure: it is beyond disappointing that the Apple Pencil Pro can't be used with older iPad models.
U guys are so weird getting mad about how others use THEIR own money😭go outside, go to therapy and take a load off
@@mora1882I don’t think people are mad at other people for buying the new iPads. They’re mad at the company who’s selling them with poor business practices.
They did it the first time with the Apple Pencil only being able to hover with a cursor in the m2 iPads exclusively- I would know because I have one, but not by choice exactly (my older one got stolen).
And they’re doing it again…..so, my perspective is that the iPads are a great tool, but Apple is obviously very greedy and scummy when locking new features behind newer models that could’ve been backwards compatible with some of the older ones. It’s normal for people- especially creatives- to be angry about this; across all of their devices it’s a tactic to keep people upgrading when they don’t want or need to.
I get what you’re saying, but you could’ve been less rude about it.
God these apps are just getting worse and worse. Do people hate the act of drawing now? I dunno, maybe don't be so lazy, just undo or erase mistakes and draw stuff again? Or draw better by practicing? All these "abilities" and "features" and everything comes out the same, just empty corporate crap. Music is going down the same path. It is not real.
It’s only lazy drawing if you are a lazy “artist”. None of those features make you draw faster or better, they make you spend more time on your drawing tweaking, adding, removing strokes. Erasing and redrawing again and again and again until you are satisfied with the result is still the bread and butter of this activity, regardless if you are using a drawing app or actual pens and paper. None of those tools correct your errors for you, you still have to do them by hand yourself. It’s not easier on Procreate, it’s just possible to redo things more often.
The only real part that digital drawing really facilitates and speed up the process is for delivery because you don’t have to scan and clean up your drawing before sending it to the printing company.
I suck at doing realistic portraits and I suck at inking my comic book drawings. Or at least I can’t do those things at the level I wish I could. I’ve tried many different pens on paper and different kind of brushes on apps, none can counterbalance the fact that it’s my drawing that sucks in the first place. Brush smoothing options just make the lines cleaner and smoother, definitely not better. It’s like those guitarists that spend thousands on gear, amps, pedals hoping that it will make them sound like Eddie Van Halen when in the end it was always him and his fingers. Just the playing skill, nothing else. I’ve heard him play on random instruments that were laying around like a beat up classic nylon guitar, trying out the guitars of other musicians with total different specs, Eddie always sounded like Eddie whatever the gear he played on.
But with each drawing, it gets a little better. So I draw again and again whenever I have the chance.
It’s called convenience and efficiency
None of the new features mentioned make drawing easier, only more convenient. So even by the confusing logic above the app didn’t get worse
